New refillable batteries could fuel an electric car revolution — NBC News
I thought flow batteries like this wouldn’t have the energy density.
Also, I like the FUD about charging taking “Hours” they could at least mention the supercharger network.
Overall this idea sounds like a disaster.
U mean like the revolution that Tesla Sparked?
Most Tesla owners charge at night in their garages. It takes 5 seconds of effort. There are two groups of people who still can't understand this: the paid bashers and idiots.
During long distance travel, we take a lunch/dinner break while charge at the superchargers. Again only those two groups of people can't understand this.
Sounds like a battery of the week to me.New refillable batteries could fuel an electric car revolution — NBC News

Tesla bursts into flames after hitting a tree at high speed. A gas car would never burst in flames in this situation. Nope never nope nope
Let the fudz begin

Besides the FUDsters, you're right that it's 2 groups of people but I think the breakdown is more like : ICE Owners vs EV Owners. People just can't stop thinking about things in the terms of the existing systems they know. People who own ICE cars think the solution to EV charging looks like Gas Stations. They don't realize that the equivalent of the ICE Gas station is the charging station in an EV owner's garage/parking stall.
In my home state of MN, the new D governor says he wants to increase the EV surcharge paid at annual registration so he can fund more public charging stations. It's again this mindset that we need to install slow L2 charging stations everywhere, which makes no sense for city use (We already have that driving range covered). If you want to help EV owners, add incentives for them to install their own chargers, or how about just not increasing taxes on EV ownership.
Wow reading the twitter thread it's the typical dumpster of TSLAQ hate. It's hard to tell sometimes who has the larger troll army, the Chinese 50c army, the Russian Internet Research Agency or the various groups of TSLAQ fudsters.

Well the gas car would not burst into flames. It would EXPLODE into flames.

Your Roadster 1 was Tesla's first shot at a product, and yours must have been a very early 3, no? And therefore not representative of the ones produced later in production hell, nor of the improved ones shipping today...
Here's a way for a Moderator to get around the "Don't fix typos or grammatical errors" dictum, and still make everyone's Sunday night.Wow, you can hardly see the Murai for the crowds of people round it...
In Japanese -
- "Mirai" translates as "Future", but.....
- "Murai" translates as "Never"
Thought y'all would like that. Am not sure Toyota would.

Just curious, in order for that to materialize how high does the TSLA SP have to go?

Weekend OT... it's lake, not ocean going, but I was on this coal fired steamship that was launched the same year as the Titanic and is still ferrying cargo and people around a lake in NZ. Walked through the engine room and watched them shoveling coal into the firebox. Certainly not the cleanest, but epic from a historical perspective. From Wikipedia, the TSS Earnslaw is "the only remaining commercial passenger-carrying coal-fired steamship in the southern hemisphere."

OT anecdote (but it's still the weekend):
Back "wen ah were yung" (Welsh accent please) and raced motorcycles, the hot machine was a Yamaha TZ series (I think 125, 250, 350), one of our club members had a TZ250. Racing only bike, dry clutch, insanely light and powerful, two stroke. And yes, it would run (badly) in reverse. Most races required push starts back then (I have no idea any more since I stopped racing about 1986), and one time as he started his bike it basically backfired and started in reverse. By then he'd jumped on it and dropped the clutch... much mayhem ensued.
What part of "imagined" don't you understand?

Good news that 01 March is no longer the cliff-edge date for sales to China but I see no new tariff deadline has yet been announced. What's the best strategy for the next X weeks? I'm hoping Tesla load as many cars into China as they humanly can while the tariff ceasefire persists, even if it takes several months for the sales and logistics network to digest those into deliveries. Essentially push the US queue out by a couple of months and take the hit to Q1 bottom line, for the greater good of Q2/3. If Giga 3 hits the aggressive end of the construction schedule then Q4 we'll start to see local production and sales of the SR, making the tariff climate less relevant.
There's nothing that says the China talks will definitely end positively and the European economy is looking dicey, even without there being new US tariffs. China, notwithstanding the continued trickle of bond defaults, has some macro upside in 2019 in my view. January was the first month since the slowdown started 18-24 months ago that has seen any serious effort by the government to throw credit at the problem. This was evident in a spike new bank lending, no further reduction in shadow banking lending and relatively good growth in new bond issuances. Seems clear that the government has decided that for now the slowdown has run far enough and does not want the end game of these negotiations conducted against a weak macro picture. Tesla should make hay while they can.

It is in the signatures. It's just software.
(Yet another example of how, with Tesla, you wake up to a new, better, car every so often.)

While there are no 100% guarantees - politically it is untenable for Trump to not get a China deal.
