A few things of interest
- Dyson is only abandoning the solid state battery patent, not their EV program
- Dyson's latest vacuum uses a lighter yet more powerful battery based on NCA chemistry

You are right, the EV should also pay additional taxes to contribute to the street infrastructure which is now paid by the exorbitant fuel taxes in Europe.

Found 2 links by goolging Dyson sakti3
Dyson has abandoned patents aimed at creating a battery-and-car juggernaut resembling Tesla
Dyson walks away from (three) Sakti3 solid-state battery patents: updated
The 2nd line contained official comments from Dyson:
"Dyson is more focused than ever on energy storage solutions, which includes developing new intellectual property with the Sakti3 team. We currently own 94 Sakti3 patents and patents pending protecting those developments.
The three patents in question [on which rights were relinquished] pre-date Dyson's purchase of Satki3 and are therefore owned by the University of Michigan. The related IP has been superseded with better technology and is no longer important to our aims, so we are not renewing the license.
We remain committed to investing £1bn in battery technology over the coming years, and Sakti3 is an essential and exciting part of that program."

Also the info in InsideEV's article (now taken down), referring to Dyson's V8 vacuum having improved NCA battery, appears to be from 1H 2016, which is too early to be related to their recent development with Sakti3, and is misleading. Sorry I fell for that.

Might just be rain. A new lot is being cleared on the other side of the plant. It could be pilings though to prep for the next phase, or supplies for new construction. They do appear to be gearing up for gigafactory expansion.

I tried and failed to verify where the money from the excise taxes on fuel goes to. The taxes are intentionally set high, to reduce pollution and encourage public transport; this is clear in the directive itself (which can be found linked off here). But I'm not at all sure that the money gets spent on street infrastructure directly, there's just too much of it. Can you point to a reference that says that it goes somewhere other than general revenue?

Basics of the site are up. TeslaFUD.com I want it to be the Snopes.com or collecting all the BS that is distributed out there about Tesla, rebutting it on there. I will link to those who prove the FUDsters wrong.

Proud TSLA/SCTY shareholder since 2013.
Landing pad. Direct shipments.
This is from last year. No wonder InsideEV pulled the article. IMHO, Sakti3 is the battery startup equivalent of Theranos.

No, not wanting commentary on the site just yet until I get all the kinks worked out. I will grant posting rights for a few people who have an interest and have shown in the past a good ability to combat the FUD.
I had never heard Charley Grant actually speak before. Not impressed.

I hope they’ll open the free trade zone beyond the province of Hainan because that’s just a small Island in the South Sea
His Twitter profile pic makes him look older, mature and wise (deliberate?). But in reality, he is like that DJ Khalid song - young dumb and broke (shorting TSLA)
Great idea: I would call it a fact or fake checker where we all contribute to put facts against all the FUD that is out there. Could be helpful also for the Media to validate their opinions/information as most of them tend to copy and paste but don't do research which leads to an overwhelming repeat of the same fake news.
That page needs to be a non biased.
