Great work lebowski.

Why did they make so FEW M3s in Q2 ?... It should have been closer to 40,000 than the 28500 actual. From musks own prediction they planned to make 20,000 in june alone ! Lets start with this. He Claimed they would be at 5000/ week by end of June. To prove he did that they made 7000 for the last wee...

Hillhater is a Tesla short! lol They produced 7000 units for the last week of June as he said they would just over 5000 model 3s and just under 2000 model S/Xs This proves they did not take any staff away from producing model S/Xs They are not dumb they know they need these employees to produce Mode...

..... #3 They are down to 3% cobalt and will be at 0% with the next gen batteries. ?? 0% Cobalt ! How exactly will they manage that ? https://notalotofpeopleknowthat.wordpress.com/2018/06/19/how-battery-chemistry-assumptions-distort-nickel-and-cobalt-demand-forecasts/#more-34105 I can't figure out ...

Its a great article and video that one.. Here it is, embeddable on YT As a lot of articles have pointed out, Elon spent around a billion dollars to robotify the other half of the factor where car makers have long tried and failed. He was told it wouldn't work but he just had to try to see for himse...

The problem is there been a lot of stupid claims over the years about electric such as less moving parts so less service intervals when the truth is these things are in and out of the service centre like a fat man at McDonald's same as the ice car. It's stupid to say there's less maintenence requir...

The points to consider are ..... 1) Tesla cells can ignite and fuel a serious fire... (there have been doubt that they are flammable) 2) What is the recommended way of dealing with a pack fire such as that one in the video ? The difference between a battery pack fire and a conventional ICE fire is ...

Seems tesla has removed the two fuses normally found in 18650 cells ( cid fuse and the other one I forget the name of), the only protection at the cell level is the thin fuseable link. Seems the 2170 cells also dont have the internal fuses either ( one is pressure based the other one is temperature...

Just found an awesome paper detailing the differences between the Gen1 (11-12 MY) and the Gen2 (13-17? MY)

Bitcoin price manipulated? Why do you need to ask? Is there a currency today that is NOT manipulated? https://www.forbes.com/sites/petertchir/2018/05/28/i-would-be-shocked-if-bitcoin-prices-werent-manipulated/#7ba5b6d72be9 https://www.forbes.com/sites/forbestechcouncil/2018/05/24/bitcoin-mining-is-...

https://electrek.co/2018/06/09/tesla-battery-energy-density-cost-breakthroughs/amp/ They're saying $100/kWh of cells within the year, $100/kWh for the whole pack within the following year. Here's hoping. I think its about right. They have the team and the equipment. The trick is to work on both ene...

The OEM shocks and springs have changed since the start of production because many complained about a rough ride. Later maybe next year there will be a air suspension option Yes there will be an air suspension option I’m 2019. But in the US the full tax credit expires in 2018, which means that air ...

Oh I know it is they are amazing cars with low CG super happy to be getting one very soon.

I think Its because they add calculations for a round HP and Round torque curve

If you look at 0 to 60 mph hp calculators, moving 4,000 pounds from 0 to 60 in 5 seconds requires 400hp.

Yeah those are based on ICE. You really need to work the math from scratch.

Likely has the corrections on. Unlikely.. This is Sasha, who has previously built his own Tesla powered Lotus Evora, and spent many days on the dyno configuring custom motor controls , drive modes etc, with it. He knows how to dyno an EV. (He may even own the dyno ?) fKCMyHic2fU Yeah but the number...

It seems the number of reservations is still growing or at least holding strong at over 450k. Tesla hasent even tried to sell the model 3 yet. But there is always people who second guess their order and cancel as well there is a few afraid of loosing the us Tax credit.

Congrats Matt. My wife and I camped out while she was pregnant to put down 2 deposits on Model 3s We are giving one to Casey who does a electric only Drag race high school in Vancouver. And the other we will get the LR battery and AWD... I really want performance but man its not cheep. Maybe you co...

That's cool but its anyone's guess if that's a real Tesla cell or a shitty chemistry not even close.
