"You can make a human baby in 9 months, so you can pretty much make a new tool in 9 months" lol

Interesting. Could you elaborate on those developments or is it confidential information?

The statement about leapfrogging is quite ridiculous and proves that he has no clue how battery chemistries work. With novel battery solutions the cycle life is very poor and it takes a long time to develop good electrolyte additives to stabilize them. (I'm currently writing and researching my...

With this pricing I can't see the Power Packs making economic sense for the customers except in some special circumstances (very high electricity rates/weak grid). For example in the Finland the utilities pay about 4 cents per kWh as far as I know.

It's happening... Fall to 232? We'll see. Edit: Hmm... Pretty strong support at 242. Double bottom?

I don't like the current volume. I expect a dip back to 242.

I wouldn't count on it.

@elonmusk The lack of a dashboard/HUD is something that I don't think I could get used to. That's the only thing I don't like about the car. Musk: @BValvsRacing It will make sense after part 2 of the Model 3 unveil

The 10m reservations this April is just overly delusional. That's 333k reservations per day in average. Bolt is $37,500 before rebates.

This is just completely, utterly mad. The prediction goes to the same category with flat earth conspiracies.

Toyota Corolla 1991 (about 420k km).

We do have some wind power. Unfortunately it isn't cost competitive. I would really hope that it would be cheaper. For example in 2013 government paid guaranteed 83.5€/MWh (and 103.5€/MWh for the first 3 years of operation) price from wind whereas the average value of energy was 41.15€/MWh. The...

I agree that Norway has great potential for wind and they also have loads of hydro (and as if that isn't enough there is also the oil). Maybe I should move to Norway. They have everything :) (Well I do think that Finland has maybe a bit more beautiful women. That counts as something... I guess)...

Interesting data. I wonder what kind of risk tolerances are estimated for newly built reactors today. I agree that solar is the way to go in most places but near polar areas (for example in Finland) solar energy production is almost nonexistent in Nov-Jan which makes it difficult to rely on...

My understanding was that a fully operating Gigafactory was needed for the 500k (around 2020) annual production volumes.

0,1% is way too big. So much stuff has to go wrong at the same for something bad to happen.

In SpaceX it seems to be around 75k. Maybe in Tesla it's in the same ballpark. SpaceX Manufacturing Engineer Interview Experience. Ask me anything : spacex "They were saying it was about 75k + stock options. This is not bad. I believe the likes of boeing and lockheed would pay above 80k for...

I agree. Musk is a perfectionist who pushes innovation and design to new avenues. The other automakers will probably always be one step behind (at least when it comes to innovation).

In my opinion that seems quite awesome!
