    nomination - who to tell??

    PS - updated talk - about buildings mostly [i.e. not any vehicle]
    Note: he has some great quotes from Mr. Land - really good.

    Really great tips on design and problem solving.

    Somebody's been listening to this forum's advice about what sort of media outlets Musk should talk to.

    Not only that, they managed to average 416 Wh/mi for their "real world" driving. I guess it was uphill all the way, or they lowered the tire pressure to 25 psi and drove with a lead foot!

    This is good advice. If it's free, people hog it (because people be crazy), but if it costs even a nominal amount (25 cents a day?) people don't.

    And put the chargers within the parking lot as far away from the main entrance as you can manage while still making the electrical connections easy, because this prevents people from ICEing the spaces.

    Yeah, I can't get mileage that bad unless I drive through a snowstorm with the heater blasting, and then stop and open up the doors to let all the heat out every few miles. (Which I have, for various reasons, actually done.)

    Mind blown. The original lines produced cells at machine gun speed. How do they do that two and a half times faster? Raw speed, or is there some kind of parallelling going on now? Would love to hear from anybody lucky enough to get a tour and sight the new machines.

    Yeah, this isn't confirmed. It's somebody's interpretation of a comment from Panasonic that GF1 would reach 35 GWh annual production. The throughput of the new lines was not specified. Don't get too excited.

    Best advice ever.

    Really gave me a well rounded approach. Been considering it since reading.

    My current thought:

    Absolutely use inconvenient parking spaces.

    Ev owners pay per kWh. I like the pay per hour approach but costly to implement. Maybe 50% pay split due to low EV adoption in region. Raise that slowly to 80%. I see the problems with free and for me this is not about cost savings, more about improving community and building for long term success.

    And then convince company to provide new EV owners with a $ “voucher” for the program. First $500 on us. This way no matter when or if you try ev you get the same benefit. A year of “free gas”

    That way I accelerate the transition but build stable program.

    I used to follow InsideEVs closely. I don't think they have any inside info (no pun intended). They are trying to estimate based on publicly available info and whatever delivery information etc they get - similar to what Bloomberg does to estimate production.

    "There are some products coming out that he talks about in the interview".

    Ok, you have my attention.

    That's actually my average for the last two winters.
    But my commute is 5km (3miles), so majority of energy is spent on warming up the battery, twice a day...

    OP commented on those keeping options and being leveraged. Neither of you two guys seem to understand what being leveraged means. But one consequence is that you are at mercy of time, and while directionally you could be 100% right, pace of change may mean you lose everything, or come close to it. Been there, done that. Never again.

    I keep setting a small sell $15 above opening. Last three sessions anyway. None have tripped, though it would have worked early in the week. I'm prepared to bet it will close less than $15 up, but not going to bet it will revisit the opening price at any point in the future. Seems quite possible we're going up and never coming back.

    Disagree. Just trying to keep optimism down.
