Not sure what the negativity is to this project, but either way his companies have done much harder things and they all have a track record of doing things that people complained and moaned were impossible and wrote countless articles flaming him. Also find it kinda weird that EVERY single comment here is negative,…

Can someone give us a TLDR about his evilness for the uninitiated?

People suck... because we want to breath clean air, drink clean water, and build a sustainable society for our children? How shitty of us.

5% range increase? No thanks. I’ll keep the reliability of not having a transmission having to switch gears. If anything makes more sense to use one high-efficiency motor, with a more powerful motor both with different gear ratio(which Tesla already does) plus it adds AWD, increased and balanced regen, etc... So I’d…

Bye Felicia! Maybe stop making EVs that sucks balls compared to the competition? Just maybe? Why would I go buy a $45k i3 when I could get a Tesla Model 3 for $40k?

Nope, still old batteries. They’re cell constrained with 2170s as it is

Jalopnik and most Gawker writers are so obsessed with the transportation aspect of the boring company that they forgot why the boring company was even made... Which is to make tunneling cheaper. If they figure out the transportation thing in the process then great, but that is not the main goal. Plus the writers…

It’s almost as if technology takes time to develop.

And highways are expensive as hell. No one thinks he is inventing anything, he is simply trying to make an existing process more efficient.

Constant fear mongering of self driving cars is costing thousands of lives per year. How many people will have to die due to this stupid ass bickering and slowing down the tech?

$85,990

There’s only CHAdeMO, CCS, and Tesla in the US. CHAdeMO is dying, and Tesla has already started to switch to CCS in Europe, so hopefully that means they will soon follow in the US.

How did the entirety of GMG miss the point of starting the company was to reduce tunneling cost and improve the the? Instead they focused on the secondary aspect and tore it to shreds based on a prototype... Nice.

You realize the biggest point of the company is to reduce the cost of tunneling? Maybe you should watch the presentation so you actually know what you’re talking about.

They don’t, but bad press is not good either. 

Gizmodo is the reason companies don’t reveal products early. They just want everything to fail. What are you guys so angry about? I don’t get it.

When and where did he say this was a semi finished product? Y’all just make up what you want to believe out of thin air.

Yeah still like it, just haven’t had much time to use it unfortunately

Will be interesting for sure. They do have a healthy profit margin right now so they can play around with pricing, and other countries still have tax credits, so worst case they can shift more sales to other countries for now. Obviously not a long term solution, but it could serve as a stop gap until they can get more…

Totally. All good Tesla PR is paid advertising, right? Can I get a tinfoil hat too?
