There is most definitely self-parking garages with charging in Manhattan. Though it might not be even necessary if you street park next to your house. (you can just pull the wire underground and put the charging station next to the street on your parking)

Go to plugshare.com . NYC is loaded with chargers.
Tesla has the highest gross profit margins of any US automaker. The only reason why they operate at a loss is their spending into rapid expansion. See the part about growing 75% on deliveries in Q4 YoY?
That is not a good example either. It is really hard to compare personal finances with a finances of a corporation because they work different.
Tesla outsold the Mercedes S class in the US. Mercedes S class did outsell the Tesla Model S globally, but the Mercedes S class is available in more countries and comes with a long-wheelbase version which matters in some markets.
There are concepts for workable solutions of putting things on the roof actually. But they will reduce aerodynamics while this solution improves it.
Nothing silly about it. It actually improves aerodynamics.
And let us be honest here, the paint job on the Model X is probably worth more than the sporting equipment. Plus you can you know, put a cover on it! shocking I know!
I wouldn’t be so sure, based on the plans of the Germans, Jaguar and Volvo. Their concepts are at least 3-5 years away while offering inferior specs. I mean look at this mercedes offering, 103k-118k with 150kw front motor and 300kw back motor. That is in same price range as current Model S with 165kw front motor and…
There is a mechanical release cable inside the speakers of the doors, you pull the cable and it manually releases the Falcon Wing doors.
Well in this case it was connected to virtually unlimited power. Though since it was a temporary station, some temp stations are powered by diesel so it is possible that is what caught on fire.
Lithium Ion thermal runaways generally generate heat lower than gasoline or diesel (lithium ion should not be confused with…
Have you forgotten about Formula E RoboRace?
Even if the grid in the area is incapable, if batteries are placed alongside the chargers like Tesla plans to, it would be possible to do so. The batteries would just charge up while the is excess power and unload when someone is charging.
I agree that to take marketshare you need a better product. But will disagree about the charging part. Sure, faster charging would be nice. And unless we get wireless charging built into roads like they have in Korean OLEV buses or that UK test highway, to completely replace ICE cars that would probably be necessary.
Depends on what you mean by fast, but to answer your question. Some people do loan out their chargers for use on Plugshare. Many do it even for free. Though the fastest home chargers are 80A ones, not as fast as superchargers but will charge you up to full in 4.5 hours from 0.
The point I was making was that getting through the paperwork and legal hurdles take up the most time. And that if Porsche was serious they would have already started preparing a network.
I hope they change the design to make it more appealing in the production version. And maybe announce a real fast charging network?
I hope this be a lesson to all judges and all politicians to pay attention when signing that line that keeps the new company unaccountable for all damages the previous company did. Because let us be honest here, if not for the legal waiver they got in 2009, the cost to GM would have been higher than VW and Toyota…
That is because you didn’t actually see Mary Lambright and how much she weights :P
all jokes aside, 43,000 lb is how much the bottled water weighted. So assuming they are using short tons for the calculation. 21.5 short tons for the water and probably 8.5 short tons for the semi. Giving them a total of 30 short tons.

Why stop at vacuums though?
As others have mentioned, Tesla has updated the charging network multiple times, 90kw to 135kw. There is also a rumor that with the last update of liquid cooled cables they may be able to do 150kw.
