It is just a joke, simple as that. Business does not have to be all about being boring. The price and service has nothing to do with the name of the car.

But if you want to find a way to slot them in, sure. Model S is a sedan, so will the Model 3 (E). So if you list sedans in chronological order, then list…

If you missed it, the moniker they are going for is “sexy”, not “sex”.

And s3xy was a compromise they had to make due to Ford.

Personally I like the looks of the Model S more than the Roadster. But overall Tesla is on purpose not trying to make the cars look to exotic at this point to broaden initial appeal.

Fake, not only would it be weird for a Model 3 to have Falcon doors (Model Y maybe). The image is weird in itself, first of all that is a jpg but he took a picture of it? (most likely to prevent people from testing it for photoshop editing)

Statistically speaking in the US, the amount of people who live in apartments is only 13%.

Hey, if all the dinosaurs grew wings and flew, I see no reason why pigs can’t.

Sounds highly unlikely.

You are making assumptions. They are testing hydrogen buses, just like they are testing electric buses, and just like they are testing wireless charged electric buses.

Energy density by weight once you pass a certain point is almost irrelevant in car applications, energy density by VOLUME is the limiting factor in cars.

There are 2 forms of energy density, energy density by weight and energy density by volume. In cars the limiting factor is energy density by volume.

At fuel cell level, 5,000 psi, it is less than the energy density than lithium ion batteries. At 10,000 psi it is about same (though slightly less).

The issue is not producing hydrogen, the issue is producing hydrogen in bulk. At school you produced hydrogen at atmospheric pressure, so you are not realizing how much hydrogen you need to fill a 5kg tank at 10,000 psi. Not to mention the cost.

There is simply no way for Toyota to solve the hydrogen infrastructure problem. Think about it logically, since you don’t have any practical ways of refilling hydrogen at home, you need as much stations as gas stations for hydrogen. Which is 100X more than Tesla needs superchargers. The cost of building a supercharger…

Your statement makes no sense. How is most of the power they get come from coal then followed up by mostly? is it most or mostly? Right now in the US coal makes up 39% of the national grid. So while coal makes up the largest single fuel, it is not most.

Though it should be noted that you plug into your local state…

It did as a PR stunt, but it isn’t practical and for multiple reasons.

Mining lithium is a pretty simple process that is not very energy intensive. It should also be noted that despite being called lithium ion batteries, there is very little lithium in it. (Overall far less than the energy needed for mining platinum for the fuel cells)

Coal usage is on a decline, but the energy would be…

Why exactly?

So you didn’t actually watch the video? The guy does not put his child in front of the car, he puts him on the side of the car and tests only the side sensors (which he has set for 12 inch distance). So even if the sensors would have failed, the car would have drove by the child, but not hit him.

In the case of the GM VP, considering his background and experience I’d say he asked the proper questions.

Buttonwillow? I think they managed Laguna Seca fine too

Is that why GM engineers told their VP that something like a Tesla was not possible and 10 years away? Or why every luxury automaker is out to make a Tesla competitor? Or why Tesla is outselling every car in its class in the US (gas or electric)? And the fact that Tesla is outselling plugin hybrids?
