All those are being worked on too, batteries get the most focus because its the best tech with the most variety of usage.

Current Teslas use GPS database for speed limits instead of reading from signs.

That’s nice and all, but just because you have a screw driver doesn’t mean its good for making holes.

If your goal is to get quickest of fossil fuels, then nuclear is the worst option. Why? The answer is simple, not only is nuclear fission more expensive now, its cost potential and improvements from economies of scale is minimum. Not to mention, no one is going to give nuclear reactors to 3rd world countries.

This is the internet, not a technical paper. Being bitchy about case is like pissing into the wind.

Flashlight and lightbulb are same LED lighting. Not sure where a candle would beat out LED lighting as far as lighting is concerned at least (the smell has some uses). Hence why many places have started replacing candles with LED fake candles.

Batteries are more than capable of replacing modern transport. Not sure where your worry is founded.

Until you can feed the horseless carriage hay and breed them, the horseless carriage will never take off right?

It is also possible LFP is for energy storage, not for cars. 

I haven’t seen much prospects in nuclear fission to begin with, yes, even back when TerraPower was first announced. Has nothing to do with this.

It requires more than that, otherwise he could have simply picked an island or some 3rd world country and brought in engineers.

The energy units are spelled correctly. And currency when not mentioned is obviously USD.

They and Gates did talk about micro reactors at one point, I think MCFR micro-reactors.

I am fully aware what the words means. But if you wish, *checks dictionary*, yup, used correctly.

You know, I can’t help but laugh at a lot of the responses. It’s hypocrisy at its finest.

Micro nuclear reactors have a projected cost of 0.14 - 0.41 per kwh. With solar and wind on track to hit below 0.01 per kwh, it isn’t remotely competitive technology. Hence why there have been delay after delay with little progress.

Well that explains why Electrify America said charging that 1 taycann once cost over $1000 in electricity.

That is what I am thinking, especially since the ground clearance on the taycan is pretty small.

Lithium ion can’t. Some lithium batteries can though.

It’s pretty rare for an EV fire to happen when sitting in a garage, while after a crash is one thing. Just sitting there is another thing. Of course its possible that the car took damage to the battery without the driver realizing it and he walked away without knowing. Which did happen in one incident I remember.
