Most companies are achieving a 7-10% improvement in energy density per year. .... Which ones are you refering to ? We have had 250-260 Wh/kg cells since 2010/11 ..(panasonic "B" etc) ..but we do not seem to have anything commercial beyond that since . 3600mAh in the 18650 format (4800mAh in 21700) ...

Most companies are achieving a 7-10% improvement in energy density per year. That's not bad. It's hard to improve 1 or 2 of the important aspects of a battery without reducing the others. We are getting there and big step changes will come. But what Tesla and Zero use works so even small improvement...

But it would also be good to save about $8000 in inverter spend.

You should be able to do one of my kits for about 1/2 of this or less.

I love your inverter and CRX build but this post is about your wife's vertigo. I'm sure you guys have been given lots of explanations for what it might be and this may not apply to your situation: but have they mentioned treating the vertigo with maneuvers that deal with the vestibular canals? Has ...

:roll: Rather than ask you post evidence or links,....lets just wait a few more days and see how close they get to their 55,000 Q3 target for M3 production ! I was talking to our Local Tesla center about getting the Performance Model 3 on order and he pointed out they have 2 blue ones in stock read...

There is pictures of stock piled model 3s at locations all over north america.

..Ahhh ! , yes another 400 !... That makes a big difference . :roll: Tesla apparently made a large batch of Model 3 vehicles with popular configurations and it is trying to match them to custom orders from local buyers. There are reportedly around 400 Model 3 vehicles ready to be delivered at the l...

Sure, but as i said above, with such a huge backlog of orders i have to assume the deliveries are restricted by production capacity/rate. ..Or do you have some other explanation as to why Tesla might stock build whilst customers wait on delayed deliveries ? Yup. https://electrek.co/2018/09/09/tesla...

......and the fact model 3 is almost at full production.... https://insideevs.com/monthly-plug-in-sales-scorecard/ Still assuming that sales are restricted by production capacity....those August sales figures (17800) imply a "run rate" Of a little over 4000 per week :shock: If that is. "almost full...

Oh for sure it would not be a stress free job but one would be walking in at a good time because they are likely profitable at this very moment when looking at the top 3 EV sales in the USA and the fact model 3 is almost at full production.... https://insideevs.com/monthly-plug-in-sales-scorecard/

“Since I joined Tesla on August 6th, the level of public attention placed on the company, as well as the pace within the company, have exceeded my expectations,” Morton said in the filing. “This caused me to reconsider my future. I want to be clear that I believe strongly in Tesla, its mission, and...

I need to spend some time to update this. I will try to get to it as soon as I can. I have had a VERY busy 2018.... And on top of all the normal crazy in my life my wife got a Vestibular problem that has give her severe vertigo for over 7 weeks now. She has been Dizzy 24/7 and sick from the nausea 3...

But they never set a target of 22k for July.... They wanted a few weeks of 5k a week to prove they can do it and they planned some down time to upgrade things as they go. They know and have always claimed they will have downtime to keep increasing the ramp and to add options. You and the shorts are ...

So you really believe that they took the equivalent of 9+ full days out of production in July for "maintenance and upgrades" ?.. ..even though there has been no mention of any such downtime ?... .and when they are so far behind their own production schedule ? Again very simple math. If they are try...

Over 16k model 3s in July!! .. Assuming they are selling as fast as they produce them,... What happened to that 5000/week they claimed to be producing at the end of June ? So another "target" missed and conveniently forgotten :roll: And tesla have also targeted a production of 50,000-55,000 for Q3....

Over 16k model 3s in July!! Where is all the negativity now ???

To the mods it would be a wise feature to allow the owner of the OP to remove any unwanted and unrelavent posts as they see fit in their thread.

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 ...
