Just a thought, but have been reading over the years about a Hydrogen economy, and producing hydrogen by electrolysis ... what's the point?.... we all know that this introduces ineffeficiences... and also hydrogen is very difficult to manage... however there are some niche area where hydrogen...

A question that would be useful to get an answer to... How far can a Tesla Model S (or model 3) go, if travelling at 150mph on a straight flat roadway.. with no acceleration or braking... except for start and finish.... would it be greater than 120 Miles?

This is interesting. I seem to remember someone hypothesising the Northrop B2 using a similar technology...a similar power to weight ratio to a jet engine? Cool! I wonder what it’s power consumption is? First ever plane with no moving parts takes flight

i want one! 'Eco E-Type': Royal newly-weds stun crowds with electrifying style

Lot's of developments currently. At one point Elon was talking about Electric Planes. This is an interesting concept, though the catch is always the battery black size and weight. They are talking about a 960kWh pack ( basically 10 Tesla packs). The concept looks neat though... Eviation plans...

does anyone know what the latest on Teslas V2G capability is? I came across this from October 2016.... Tesla's Ben Hill Says Vehicle-to-Grid Energy is "Coming Very, Very Soon" | Inverse

Come to Telford! Tesla looking for a possible UK location after setting foot in Germany

do you think Model 3 will have 'fly by wire' steering rather than a mechanical linkage?. The interior shots on the initial launch with no dash hint at such an approach. Advantages would be: Simpler, cheaper Left hand/ right hand production Sophisticated and programmable feel to suit different...

came across this in the UK's Daily Telegraph about flow battery developments. The paper is a right wing broadsheet paper, but the writer is one of their more progressive financial columnists... Holy Grail of energy policy in sight as battery technology smashes the old order I am interested in...

Road based guides. "Before the Romans came to Rye, or out to Severn Strode The rolling English Drunkard made the rolling English Road" I am currently commuting through the English countryside using various A class and B class road. It is very pleasant but I would not trust any Autonomous...

i have no opinion on this but am curious to hear views from the experts and others on here.. Is there something in this or is it just reactionary FUD? Doctors issue warning about LED streetlights - CNN.com

Went to solar energy uk show today at NEC. Was told by Tesla rep that UK price for model 3 would be £25k. Asked if that was a rumour and included gov incentives. She said she was authorised to give this price and it did not include incentives. Is this a deal?

Someone in another thread said that the important hurdle for Model 3 was not design and manufacturing, but servicing and supporting literally millions of customers. How would they do this? They could retain the current approaches for the premium model S, but they might not upscale economically...

Curious about Inconel as used in the new battery pack connector, I looked it up on Wikipedia, and found that SpaceX has expertise. Thought it is interesting. A cross fertilisation between the two companies. From Wikipedia SpaceX uses inconel in the engine manifold of their Merlin rocket engine...

Nice overview of current situation found in The Economist. Perhaps nothing us enthusiasts Have not discussed, but still informative Charge of the lithium brigade | The Economist

Hi! Can you help What is power consumption and therefore range of P85d at top speed 150mph? Is there a limiting time factor due to overheating and therefore what is sustainable top speed? I want to calculate the fastest possible cruising speed in a current model S to travel 120 miles...

About a year ago I published a proposal for a high speed transit format for the UK called the MaRT proposal. This envisaged a high speed national metro system for the UK using maglev technology. The responses I got were generally encouraging but sceptical of Maglev technology. so I have devised...

From Sound on Sound Magazine (UK) October 2014: "White likes to use his Tesla electric car as a mix reference, which oddly, created some effects that won't work as well in countries with right hand drive cars. "The Tesla sound system is Jack's mix reference now, its what he is used to listening...

I came across this website today via the Daily Telegraph Go Ultra Low - so I used its guide to find out what was suitable for me. I wanted to go 125m, carry 4passengers and be 100% Electric. It could not give me any option! On this website, Tesla does not exist! But it does recommend the...

Dear All, I have posted a proposal document called "Way to Go:Re-Imagining High Speed Rail in the UK" on the Cars and Transportation sub forum. If you are interested, please have a look and I look forward to any feedback. I just hope I haven't drawn a railway line through your front garden...

Ladies and Gents, In the UK there is a contentious plan for High Speed Rail (similar to the California proposal). It has the backing of the UK Government, and a few big corporations , but not many others. I am very much against it, but do believe in the idea of a better system for the UK...

this was in the Sunday Times and now the telegraph (link below). A warning for all you early adopters!:eek:I was thinking about this as I chugged at just above the speed limit on the M25 yesterday. Would strict enforcement of the motorway speed limit on the motorway network play into the hands...

California Passes Huge Grid Energy Storage Mandate : Greentech Media I wonder if this will have any impact on Tesla as regards Supercharger stations and energy storage. Could Tesla manage distributed storage by accounting for storage in cars and claim income?:smile:

I have been folllowing Tesla Motors since 2006 and am obsessed by the cars and this site, even though as a public sector professional in the UK, I will never probably be able to buy one:frown: I am also interested in Maglev railway technology and have been following the attempts by UK...

Having read the Esquire magazine and Elons current travails with ALCOA - who have a stranglehold over his supply -one simple counter would be to reveal a prototype/ concept of a Gen 3 with a carbon fibre body. That would make them think twice!:biggrin:
