057 Technology

[zoomer0056]

Wk057 was recently seen on another thread as purported by sources familiar with the subject.

I am always curious how many legacy Tesla have been manufactured from 2012-2015 (110k?), and how many of them need battery replacements .. 5-10-20%? and out of them how many of them will seek outside venue help other than Tesla, this can give some hints how busy all of them can be at any certain time.

From what I’ve been tracking, Your guess is about right.
2012 3000
2013 15000
2014 40000
2015 60000
All are approximate

Anyone willing to start a new post, as a poll, on what we think happened to 057tech?

Only these choices IMHO:

- Tesla bought him out to silence this persistence and „in depth“ critic.

- his battery swap model did not work out.

- the precautions needed for a real battery replacement Business are horrendous: separate cooled bunkers, concrete walls, no available insurance for all that. In case of a battery rundown intelligent fire protection systems etc. All in allem much too costly. That’s what caused the two desastrous fires @Gruber motors.

- midlife crisis. „All that ain’t worth it“

You used to be different. Maybe Jack Rickard was right.

How are you getting these numbers? What are you 'tracking'?

It's not as quiet as it seems with no info being revealed. There are legal actions, settlements and agreements happening. But no one is telling.

Who is Jack Rickard and what was he right about ?

Speculation or inside knowledge?

What did you decode? I haven't had enough coffee yet to play that game.

We know nothing ... we have no information except that wk057 is no more. It seems unlikely that 100% of their customers are doing nothing.

As to the context for this thread, I'm not sure, but Jack Rickard was a well known personality in the EV world.

I’m old enough to remember when Jack Rickard meant Boardwatch, not EVs. Once I started looking at my first Tesla, I was pleasantly shocked to see his name again.

Our late 2013 P85 VIN was slightly under 21,000

our very late 2013 is slightly above 26000

It's interesting that the 057 Website is still up, with Jason Hughes personally Twitter Links all over it etc.
Jason has been active on Twitter/X over the last 2-3 months, but almost purely in a Bitcoin related sense/interest.
It seems all his time/efforts have swung behind this new endeavour.

Surely with the near passing of 6 months or so, the community here deserves some sort of explanation about 057 Tech and what actually has occurred.
