  1. Did you watch? Did you listen?

  4. A rapidly deflating tyre will absorb a LOT of energy!

  6. ... and the peek... Or did you mean the teepee in Sandy's trousers?

  7. Sounds to me like good chemistry for future 4680's!

  8. Looks can be deceiving...

  9. Bird wings (and bodies) use bones that are basically hollow. Weight reduction is critical for efficient flight.

  10. Their loss. My Physics and Chemistry is high school + lifetime curiosity. Anyone bored by watching this doesn't belong on the planet.

  11. Pretty sure they'd already know. It's Tesla, after all.
    3
  12. Haha!

  13. Hmm. "B" for Regen, or Single Pedal, or...
    3
  14. Pretty sure it WOULD NOT work!
    3
  15. Unless you can afford it...

  16. Inverter whine (Not motor exactly, although it seems to emanate from the motors). The electric trains in Sydney (Australia) generate ridiculous levels of inverter whine. Particularly the older rolling stock. Very intrusive. Yeah, not a pleasant 'tune'!

  17. I think it's about the nanotubes having oodles of space around them to soak up the Lithium.
    3
  18. Good strategy. Like regenerative braking.

  19. ​ @pauld3327  the motors get hot when they are doing work. A few percent of inefficiency means heat available to be pumped into the cabin.

  20. Careful, you're starting to LOOK like a fanboy!

  21. ​@bpark10001 thank you. I learned a lot from this!
    2
  22. Yeah, unexplained acronyms are my pet hate, btw...

  23. Clearly, the 'big' legacies are screwed in China, and therefore, the world!
    2
  24. He's rather his pension payout than insurance...
    2
  25. They are ground up at very low temperature after discharging completely, then the components are separated physically and chemically. It's just like mining, only easier!
    2
  26.  @tleo3333  knowing Tesla, (I don't, really...) they're watching with intense interest!
    2
  27.  @commuterbranchline8132  ..."until electric technology provides a viable alternative"... We're already there!

  28. It has panels built into the roof.
    2
  29. More likely they'll use fewer cells to get the sane range and faster charge times.
    2
  30. Now, if someone could just debug Sodium Sulphur...
    2
  31. Bullshit, its big oil and legacy auto. The unions are just an excuse...
    2
  32. You heard Sandy, liquid nitrogen bath, then grind it up!
    2
  33. To me, seat nelts come in black. Anything else is pretentiousness.
    2
  34. Makes sense.
    2
  35. When I was a kid, I couldn't get things apart quickly enough to see what's inside. All I ended up with was a pile of junk and cut fingers.
    2
  36. Now say something useful. Or at least accurate.
    2
  37. I doubt they'd last very long.
    2
  38. That's his 'kid in a candy store' moment!
    2
  39. Don't underestimate china!
    2
  40. Go away.
    2
  41. Pretty sure he's stated in one of his it's that he doesn't to avoid accusations of bias.
    2
  42. None said they HAD to be simpler!

  43. ​@nc3826 afaik, both drawing and forming the wire square would have similar effects metallurgically, and therefore resistively. Both would need heat soaking.

  44. Only nav. is available while driving...

  45. Once hydrogen is cheaply made from excess renewable electricity, this type of powering will make sense for heavy transport. But not yet. Tesla semi will beat it to death on running cost. Range may be an issue in its favour, but not by enough. Rapid charging at regular stops is a better way to go. 2 hours tops on the road until autonomy takes over.

  46.  @PhilipBarton  farms are an ideal place to set up a big PV system with enough storage to fuel all the battery powered farm equipment. Keep it simple...
    1
  47.  @Mrbfgray  you are completely wrong about BEV's. You'll see.
    1
  48. Holy crap.

  49. Pouch cells have almost no strength. Cylindrical cells are immensely strong individually. The foam provides a strong matrix to transfer the rigidity of the individual cells to the pack as a whole. The foam does not need to be recycled, it's embodied energy is microscopic and it is not effectively recyclable, nor does it need to be. The metals are all that need to be recycled. Even the graphite on the anode is so cheap it's not essential to recycle it, although I believe it is done.

  50. ​@daveinpublic hahaha!

  51. My biggest concern, despite all the talk about SS being non-flammable, is that in a fully charged cell, there is a layer of Lithoum metal. Lithium is HIGHLY reactive and if exposed to air (I.e. in case of an accident), will immediately burn fiercely on the presence of oxygen! Admittedly, this would not be due to thermal runaway, only mechanical cell damage, but even so, it would be a lie to say flammability is not an issue!

  52. My wife got similar ones for her Corolla. Very nice.

  53.  @RWBHere  would you drive an ICE car through a burning pool of petrol to see what happens? If not, why not?
    1
  54. And they'll soon be introducing M3P cells into M3. Game changer!
    1
  55. They need to!
    1
  56. Maybe that's what the PTC's for?
    1
  57. It's beefy.
    1
  58. If that's what you're happy with... Sounds like you are.

  59. This is why the 4680 cell design development has taken so long. Cell balance is (obviously) critical to lifetime. The BMS has a serious job to do!

  60. So has Sandy!
    1
  61. ​ @ariip too good an offer to refuse,I'd say...
    1
  62. Foregone conclusion...
    1
  63. Obvs.
    1
  64. Sandy really likes frunks!
    1
  65. Nice back seats...
    1
  66. Side casting?
    1
  67.  @markplott4820  ... and that's the difference!
    1
  68. Re the radiant heating, wouldn't this be more efficiently done if the panels (in the IP, after all), were fed by the heat pump? They can't be running it at abnormally high temp's.
    1
  69. ​ @rui569 makes no difference if it's pinning you to the ground.
    1
  70. ​ @carholic-sz3qv 😮
    1
  71. And that's why you won't be able to...
    1
  72. Seemed original enough to me!
    1
  73. "Hunday". Really?
    1
  74. Coz they're rubbish at it.
    1
  75. Give a few to Jordan G.!
    1
  76. Seniors moment, classic! But now we know what's REALLY on his mind!!!
    1
  77. ​ @thinkmonkeyman looks like it gets awfully complicated awfully quickly!
    1
  78. "Today standards" lol.
    1
  79.  @briananthony4044  to buy a new one?
    1
  80. In Australia, us Bogans would say "... through youse guys." which is slightly more gramatically correct...
    1
  81. Yes, and all components are chemically deactivated.
    1
  82. Stop being a FUDster.
    1
  83. Until...
    1
  84. Possibly for improving thermal performance, but not sure. More likely just corrosion resistance
    1
  85. It's his 'standard' opening - signature piece. Haven't you watched before?
    1
  86. ​@aussie_al we have another term for it here in Aus, *rselicker... If yours is clean, now you know.
    1
  87. Now we know why Tesla doesn't advertise...
    1
  88. Kia gave him the car he didn't want, to review...
    1
  89. You got it!
    1
  90. Tell Arther, too...
    1
  91. "Breaking" lol. It's broken alright...
    1
  92. ​@f4c3l355 hahah!
    1
  93. A separate screen just for the front passenger, but none in the back. Show-off stuff.
    1
  94. I imagine the liquid electrolyte would be the main problem, so probably need to be kept above freezing at least.
    1
  95. Hmm, you don't want much, do you?
    1
  96. As I understand and can remember, it is virtually exactly what they predicted on battery day!
    1
  97. He has one, he knows. He didn't want to sound like he was dissing the Lucid.
    1
  98. The radiant heaters should be fed off the heat pump...
    1
  99. Fly-by-wire steering would require another motor and whole circuit and software to provide tactile feedback through the steering wheel. A mechanical linkage provides that feedback in an uncomplicated way.
    1
  100.  @Marlow925  that would 'loosen' you up a bit!
    1
  101. Not at all. Do some research!
    1
  102. Building more factories?
    1
  103. Only if the car rolls or flips, in which case it's the least of your worries!
    1
  104. ​ @alanc286 ...and gas (even worse!), and coal ffs!
    1
  105.  @darrennew8211  most of the delay was about battery supply, imho.
    1
  106. The other OEMs a scratching their heads and rubbing their hands in glee at the same time!!!
    1
  107. ​@billybobbob3003 the copper sheet, i.e. current collector, is not part of the cell. It is an external connector to the cell contact surface. There are no metals in the cell itself. So, not a lie!
    1
  108. Ask Mr Google!
    1
  109. ​@PaulTurnbull-EMfield strand winding looks to me like it might have a higher failure rate due to the flimsier wire.
    1
  110. We know who's the REAL boss!
    1
  111. It's more. Efficient, that is...
    1
  112. I saw a short not long ago where a Tesla e-brake failed and the car ran backwards down a driveway into the street.
    1
  113. Other reveiwers might already be doing it!
    1
  114. The warranty is pretty good.
    1
  115. Talk to Vlad about it.
    1
  116. But it seems you cannot tow a Tesla in neutral fast or long.

  117. Par. Its Latin for "by" or "with". "Pa" is your dad.
