So, are we talking about tabless cells functioning in a lab, a battery with tabless cells functioning in a lab, have a hand-built pack functioning in a test mule, etc.?

0-60 in 2 seconds is a constant 1.37gs...I’m curious what the actual limit on normal roads would be for, say, Pilot Sport 4s would be?

I’d be ok with beta testing, with reasonable safeguards. You’re never going to properly replicate all the variables in the wild in a lab environment. By the way - part of Part 25 (FAA/EASA/etc.) certification is route proving, where you fly the test airplane to various commercial airports to make sure it integrates…

Women inherit the Earth?

Increase pay, and make IA completely independent. Like maybe even a state office for local police and federal for state.

I didn't say anything positive about Gingrich the person. I cited his championing of fiscal responsibility only.

I'm not going to defend Gingrich as a whole by any means, just pointing out how fully Republicans have abandoned fiscal responsibility when even he's on board with spending as freely as possible.

I’m in the middle paragraph. Problem is, it’s not like the Democrats have taken those ideals up, so we’re just sort of orphaned. I do find it particularly disgusting to see Gingrich, the Speaker that worked with Clinton to balance the budget, being a mouthpiece for the person that increased the deficit by what, 50%?,…

A sack of potatoes would be more competent than Trump.

I’m not going to ding them for selling the stock. They could buy those shares back now and have made a profit - the capital raise makes sense when the board realizes exactly how inflated the stock price is.

Gas pumps are regulated to 10 gal/min. Pumping on its own, with parking, putting in the card, etc., is a 5 minute affair. Just charging a Model 3 to 50% takes half an hour: https://insideevs.com/news/427836/tesla-model-3-v3-supercharging-test/ Ignoring that’s only half a charge, if it takes 6 times longer to charge a…

Charging at home will be interesting, because even though each house should have the capacity in general, it will fundamentally change how electricity is consumed. Like in areas where electric heat is prevalent, adding a bunch of level 2 chargers to the existing load on a cold night in a residential area could…

Yes, they can charge an EV. Do they have 50 fast chargers at that Flying J, to equal the capacity of the 12 gas pumps in the background?

Hold on, you’re saying the distribution system for EVs is in place? Really?

And by “these days,” you mean for thousands of years?

I wonder what the odds are that that a company that can’t figure out robotic assembly will be able to figure out large complex castings?

It also wouldn’t be legal, so there’s that, too.

Because for the companies that actually know how to make cars, they’ve figured out how to do what Tesla’s eliminating cheaper than doing it with castings.

Well, it was more of a purchase than outright theft.

It’s stable...despite expanding heavily into China and introducing the Y. X and S sales have been stagnant/declining for years.
