  1. I’m guessing the dealerships still billed Ford for the recall work.
    120
  2. Sorry, this looks like a ridiculous scam to me. PVs are already approaching 30% efficiency. Clearly 6,000% efficiency isn’t possible.
    108
  3. It was smart to show the uphill performance using a visible load whose mass could be easily calculated, yet as usual the haters are claiming it’s all fake.
    78
  4. The problem for GM is that they can discount as much as they like but their dealers will still charge whatever they think they can get away with.
    62
  5. In twenty years time, the way Tesla balanced demand between factories by using price and specification will be studied in MBA courses.
    60
  6. The key data is at 03:15 If they’re 100x lighter per area and 18x the output per weight then they have only 18% of the output per area of current panels. This means that they’re probably only viable in applications where weight is important. For roofs you’re probably better sticking with normal panels.
    55
  7. If Toyota had a genuine breakthrough in battery technology, they wouldn’t be hedging their bets with hydrogen, they would abandon it.
    52
  8. If Toyota’s batteries were so good they would have abandoned hydrogen… …have they?
    48
  9. Hydrogen is STILL hopelessly inefficient regardless, you lose 30% liquefying it and fuel cells are another 50%.
    44
  10. The main advantages of LFP over Li-Ion are: Their cycle life is greater They’re cheaper The fire risk is reduced They don’t use cobalt They can be charged to 100% without degradation Disadvantages: They have a lower energy density
    44
  11. Sounds like GM are doing what they normally do - going bankrupt.
    43
  12. Imagine if in 2 years time they set a new lap record and at the end the driver gets out and… …it’s Elon’s Mum!… …Because FSD did the driving 😂
    35
  13. “You did it Mary”... ...You bankrupted GM ......Yet again
    32
  14. “Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.” ― George Carlin
    31
  15. VW have entered a death spiral. Lower sales -> lower revenue -> lower investment-> delayed EVs -> lower sales
    29
  16. “You did it Mary”... ...you bankrupted GM yet again.
    29
  17. The Aptera covers the entire car and gets at best 40 miles per day, most locations most of the time will only achieve around 10, but certainly the weight reduction will improve on this.
    28
  18. I’d rather be a multi-millionaire from my Tesla share options from working for Tesla for ten years... ...than be in a union from working for legacy auto that will make me redundant in five.
    28
  19. If the hydrogen is sourced from fossil fuels - it’s more efficient to use the fossil fuel directly. If the hydrogen is sourced from electricity (eg. From solar panels or wind turbines) then it’s more efficient to just distribute the electricity and use it to charge EVs.
    27
  20. 02:12 The size/chemistry stated in ‘Master Plan 3’ is the predicted average across ALL that class of vehicle for ALL manufacturers, NOT the Tesla CyberTruck specifically.
    25
  21. TLDR: They’ve found a better way to monitor the degradation of PVs so this MIGHT eventually lead to PVs that degrade less.
    20
  22. For oil companies, the only path is down from now on.
    19
  23. To anyone familiar with software development, having 1,600 developers on a project is a major red flag.
    19
  24. Given that Tesla is going to be at $1,500 after the next earnings call (26th January) in my opinion... ...selling now is probably a bad idea.
    18
  25. Rivian management being the geniuses who massively increased prices for existing orders and then had to backtrack when everyone cancelled. They’re a bunch of clowns 🤡
    16
  26. When Powerpacks only cost $1k, everyone will want them, they’ll pay for themselves in less than 5 years and last 20+.
    14
  27. This is definitely an interesting and slightly odd story, please keep us posted.
    14
  28. You’re confusing the 250 Li/day of gaseous hydrogen produced by these panels with the liquid hydrogen used in cars which is 853x denser.
    14
  29. Electro-chemistry is well understood, getting the high energy density required for most useful applications inevitably requires certain combinations. This sounds like another U-Beam or Solar-Roadways.
    14
  30. If you look historically at GM company purchases (Lordstown, Nikola etc.), the simplest explanation is that through sheer gross incompetence they bought the wrong company 🤣
    14
  31. Fusion has been ‘within a few years’ since the 50s 🤣
    14
  32. You only have to compare the latest Tesla video with GM’s Lyriq video to see why GM are doomed.
    13
  33. Every kid in the world shouts out when they see a Tesla... ...when they see a GM, not so much.
    13
  34. The weight of the battery pack has a significant effect on the range so calculating the pack size from the range when the size is reduced is a non linear equation. I wouldn’t be surprised if the size is halved.
    13
  35. You’re utterly clueless
    12
  36. When everyone wants an EV, but there aren’t enough available (and the ones that are, are too expensive)... ...They stop buying ICE cars completely and make their current car last a few years longer.
    12
  37. The reason Karpathy took his sabbatical was he knew they’d solved the basic AI core programming for FSD, all it needs now is data and time.
    11
  38. GM will go bankrupt by 2025 and get another bailout. The big question is what happens when they go bankrupt again in 2030?
    11
  39. The reason he wouldn’t discuss battery chemistry is because... ...Ford are buying into Li-ion technology at the very moment that Tesla are moving to much cheaper and sustainable alternatives like LFP. (Maybe a Ford exec confused ‘ion’ with ‘iron’ ? 🤣).
    11
  40. Whenever Elon is asked about hydrogen vs. EVs he just laughs... ...enough said.
    11
  41. The figures just don’t work. The energy required to drive a vehicle at a reasonable speed for a reasonable distance EXCEEDS the total amount of solar radiation received by an area the size of a car even with PVs operating with 100% efficiency, especially in winter at higher latitudes. The area of a car available to receive solar radiation is physically constrained by practicality, you’re better putting the panels on your house.
    11
  42. Having more than one credible EV manufacturer is great for customers because competition drives developments and pricing.
    11
  43. People said the same about Japanese products after WW2. Ten years later they were happily buying Japanese cars, cameras, stereos, radios…
    11
  44. I’ve heard that the Toyota Mirai has the same problem (much lower range than claimed). My understanding is that the claimed range is ‘over 400 miles’. Note that even achieving that range shows hydrogen to be hopelessly inefficient, with the fuel cell operating at only around 50% efficiency.
    10
  45. O’Dowd has obviously realised that if he can’t destroy Tesla’s FSD all his current customers will eventually abandon him and licence it from Tesla. Elon Musk has openly stated he’s happy to do this.
    10
  46. Tell that to Nokia, Kodak, Ever Ready, Enron, Lehman Brothers, Dutch East India Company...
    9
  47. Elon’s stated reason for establishing a base on Mars is to preserve Mankind in event of an extinction event on Earth (asteroid, WW3, plague etc.). ‘Improving life on Earth’ does nothing to address that issue.
    9
  48. The impact on rotor drones will be negligible, but it looks viable for something like a powered glider where the wings have a much larger area.
    8
  49. Vapourware, the range claim has no credibility.
    8
  50.  @Robert...Schrey  1) Tesla make a car in ten hours, VW take 3x longer, I’m guessing other companies like GM are worse. 2) Outsourcing components moves profits to them. 3) Tesla cars being more efficient means that for a given range the battery can be smaller/cheaper. 4) Tesla don’t spend billions on advertising. 5) Tesla don’t have a dealer network. 6) Tesla negotiate supply contracts for longer periods and larger quantities for things like batteries which gets the prices lower. 7) Tesla innovate faster.
    8
  51.  @jotr.9786  he has a degree in physics
    8
  52. Hybrids are hopelessly inefficient and ridiculous complex and expensive to make. Oh wait, everyone here can see your other comments, you’re obviously a paid shill.
    7
  53. Given that the battery costs 30-50% of the cost of the car... ...Where are Ford getting the money from to stockpile the quantity required?
    7
  54. Some protest organisations are literally offering payments on their websites.
    7
  55. So we’re expected to believe a flight attendant who did massages chose $250,000 over $10,000,000. Seems unlikely.
    7
  56. Good catch on the Manganese, most reports missed it.
    7
  57. GigaCastings won’t solve VW’s problems getting batteries.
    7
  58. How is the Tesla semi any harder than an ICE semi to backup?
    7
  59. Toyota’s Mirai has a ‘state-of-the-art’ fuel cell. If you run their numbers it’s only 50% efficient. If you use the range journalists achieve in reviews it’s less than 30%.
    7
  60. Correct, but when that source dries up there’s no shortage, it’s the fifth most common element by mass on Earth.
    7
  61. Of course because you’re obviously much smarter than Elon… …please list your achievements.
    6
  62. Yes, I suspect hydrogen will fail, but real world comparisons are excellent.
    6
  63.  @thegormlesstwit849  you’re well named 🤣
    6
  64. EVs are much simpler vehicles than ICE. This makes them easier to repair and longer lasting.
    6
  65. According to Tesla’s 10-Q filing, they’re currently sitting on a cash pile of over $3 billion in ‘deferred revenue’. This is revenue that isn’t shown in the accounts in order to mitigate risk.
    6
  66. Fuel cells to convert hydrogen to electricity are still only 50% efficient even after a hundred years of development and are expensive and wear out. And photovoltaic panels have double the efficiency of these panels.
    6
  67. Unknown but probably. Relays are largely obsolete, triacs are generally better, being faster and more reliable.
    6
  68. “Seeking Alpha has been alleged to be a platform for market manipulators. Given Seeking Alpha's popularity, some investors take advantage of it to manipulate the market for their benefit. To do so, they typically post highly negative news or analysis about a company and their stock, urging the readers to sell their shares and not to buy any new shares, causing a rapid decline in the stock price by the readers rushing to sell their shares. They expect that this will create a lower entry point for them to buy the stock in the near future and they will profit once their biased and misrepresented article is rebutted”. Source: Wikipedia
    6
  69. Agreed… …but they might improve. (But that usually takes quite a while). Quoting the output per kg was highly misleading.
    6
  70.  @rianrahmanto8069  Is Rimac a production saloon?
    6
  71. For a more in-depth analysis of Tesla’s figures, Rob Maurer of ’Tesla Daily’ is pretty good.
    6
  72. Toyota are hedging their bets even now by continuing to pursue hydrogen and ICE. They’re doomed.
    6
  73. Probably banned on YouTube.
    6
  74. Sam reports on all EV manufacturers.
    6
  75. When did any Japanese company last do anything remotely innovative in the engineering domain? Toyota? Sony? Honda? Yamaha? Maybe all their smartest have moved to software/gaming? Maybe there’s nobody in engineering who’s any good below the age of 50?
    6
  76.  @defrigge  They all said that as well 🙄🤡
    6
  77. We all know that in 1-2 years time, one (or more) of the following will happen: 1) The range will be reduced 2) The price will be increased 3) The charging time will be increased 4) Every RAM they sell will lose money 5) Production numbers will be reduced 6) The load capacity will be reduced 7) The towing capacity will be reduced The net result will be that for a given specification, either the price will be too high and everyone cancels and they go bankrupt, or they lose money on every sale and go bankrupt.
    5
  78. Sorry, the moment you claimed PHEVs were the answer, your credibility vanished.
    5
  79. If Toyota are such a massively successful company, why do they have more debt than any other company in the world? ($217 billion).
    5
  80. And dealerships
    5
  81.  @asdfasdf71865 where is he wrong? Be specific.
    5
  82. Ford have realised their ICE knowledge and experience mean nothing in the EV space. Achieving full scale production nearly bankrupted Tesla, now its Ford’s turn.
    5
  83.  @leswhitehouse  18x per kg, not 18x per sq m. The company has deliberately quoted per kg to make their product look good.
    5
  84. Some are paid ‘travelling expenses’.
    5
  85.  @chriseidam7319  nonsense
    5
  86. Blackberry, Polaroid, EverReady, horses 🤣
    5
  87. The movement in a day means nothing
    5
  88. I totally agree, hydrogen may have a place in planes or maybe trucks, but definitely not in cars. The Mirai is nonsense, their fuel cell is only 30% efficient. I predict anyone who buys one will never do so again, and warn all their friends not to either. It’s hopelessly inefficient and massively expensive.
    5
  89. Efficiency and power/weight are already ’good enough’, but making further improvements is good and also potentially allows further simplification by reducing the number of motors.
    5
  90. Tesla buy/licence battery technology from all the manufacturers, how can they be behind?
    5
  91. Why would the internet crash? Why would that happening affect cars?
    5
  92. Interesting fact: If you want to see crystals of zinc just look at a galvanised bucket, they’re clearly visible.
    5
  93. Wouldn’t steering just using the hub motors scrub off the tyres pretty quickly?
    5
  94. Cars will be taxed per mile driven.
    5
  95. History indicates that legacy companies are totally incapable of going ‘all in’ on a disruptive technology. Examples: Blackberry Nokia Ever Ready Blockbuster Kodak Polaroid Other suggestions welcome.
    5
  96. All the claims in the comments that nobody wanted to rent them are hilarious because the mileages blatantly prove otherwise.
    5
  97. It’s likely to be in the Next-gen/compact well before then.
    4
  98. 20 years.
    4
  99. FSD? Robotaxis? AI Bots?, Semis?
    4
  100. So what?
    4
  101. Another ‘game changer’. It’s interesting how much of the world is massively invested in solving this. Most will fail, but we only need a few to succeed. Rampant capitalism is truly impressive.
    4
  102.  @briancampbell179  I said ‘usually’.

  106. That’s because it is.
    4
  107. Wouldn’t Stellantis insist on a non-compete clause when they bought GM-Europe?
    4
  108. Converting ICE cars to EVs does nothing to solve the global constraint of lack of batteries.
    4
  109. I’m guessing the speed max have been limited by thermal management of the battery?
    4
  110. Practical production of hydrogen by electrolysis is only 50% efficient (whatever ‘experts’ on the internet claim - the higher efficiencies rapidly burn through expensive rare element electrodes). Liquefaction/compression is only 70% efficient. Fuel cells are only 50% efficient. Add in distribution and you’re down to around a 15% total efficiency. EVs are 4x to 6x more efficient. Note that this applies regardless of the original source of the energy.
    4
  111. Ridiculous nonsense
    4
  112. The FSD processors are in all Teslas and if all they wanted was that, they could have removed it and smuggled just that.
    4
  113. The key difference with other competing attempts at FSD is they’re using precise surveying and geo fencing which simply doesn’t scale.
    4
  114. Daylight hours aren’t ‘less’ they just vary more over the year. The total is the same.

  118.  @chriseidam7319  99.8% of the Sun’s radiant energy is emitted in a very narrow bandwidth from 20 to 2500 nanometers, this consists of 5% ultraviolet light; 42% visible light and 53% near infra-red. The TOTAL energy at sea-level is around 1 kWh per square meter. Of this total energy, PVs typically capture 20-30%.
    4
  119. All official trials are fully audited by the Nurburgring marshals, but keep going, your fantasy cope is hilarious.
    4
  120.  @MissMiaFit  What part of ‘audited’ do you not understand?
    4
  121. Good point
    4
  122. I’m guessing the main limitation is the speed rating of the tyres, especially given the heavier weight of the car.
    4
  123. Hilarious nonsense, cope harder.
    4
  124. A full box is MORE aerodynamic because of the way the cab is designed
    4
  125. Most drivers do less than 50 miles/day. The higher depreciation doesn’t matter because it’s driven by falling new prices, so you can trade in your Tesla for a better one for less.
    4
  126. It’s blatant gaslighting.

  127. This channel is the best for potential developments in battery and solar cell technology. You not knowing that just tells everyone here that you don’t follow the channel.

  128. Please provide your best example of Musk being a ‘Fascist’.

  129. It’s not a solution, it’s a temporary fix to buy the time to correct it properly.

  130. Toyota: Rags to riches and back to rags in three generations... ...That happens a lot.
    4
  131. You obviously haven’t read the stated goal of Tesla as detailed in their 17 year old business model.
    4
  132. Given that the biggest constraint on making EVs is currently the availability of batteries, swapping isn’t going to happen until that limit is removed.
    4
  133.  @jonathanfields4ever  Thanks for confirming.
    4
  134. The real reason for her statement is her knowing that BMW make a lot of money from spares and servicing.
    4
  135. Hydrogen is hopeless, the Mirai fuel cell is only 50% efficient, has a limited life, costs a fortune, and uses up precious metals.
    4
  136. A good source for degradation data and provenly real world mileages is Bjorn Nyland. You can watch videos where he literally drives 1,000 km with full telemetry and analysis on a wide range of EVs - not just Teslas.

  140. For the RoboTaxi work commute (and generally) there’s a very obvious need for a car optimised for a single passenger (possibly with an occasional 2nd in tandem)... ...Just not yet. (And they might never be available for private purchase).
    3
  141. Because EVs are usually heavier, they do currently produce more particulates from their tyres and the tyres do wear more quickly. But over time this will improve and those particulates aren’t as much of a problem as those from ICE cars. I’m also guessing that long term, the smoother driving by FSD will completely reverse this.

    3
  146. Except we all know that the ‘recall’ was just an OTA for something trivial that’s already fixed before the notice comes out. (Which is why you deliberately didn’t say what the recall was actually for).

  147.  @roryreddog3258  Nope, that data is for total world market, Tesla just have a column to identify how they’re addressing that sector.

  148. Nobody has claimed Ethernet was invented by Tesla. Tesla doesn’t use Ethernet, it uses its own proprietary protocol. The patents have been filed.

  151. If you look at the demographic for Fiat ‘500s’ - if they produce an EV version with a base range of 50 miles and it’s cheap enough, they’ll sell loads. Note - these are the second family car, not the primary. They should dump ALL the other designs.

  157. Hydrogen is hopelessly inefficient

  158. Most EVs charge overnight at home, they rarely need to go anywhere to refill. Everyone can see it’s your ignorance that’s the joke here.
    3
  159. Hybrids are a dead end because they retain the maintenance costs of an ICE car due to their complexity. Most people don’t need a lot of range most of the time because they’re only averaging 30 miles a day at most.
    3
  160. Mostly. Otherwise the windows don’t work, or the headlights, or the locks...

  177. What exactly is the typical profit margin on petrol vs. electricity at a filling station? Anybody? (I’m guessing petrol is < 5% and electricity is > 30%).
    3
  178. Yet here you are 🤣🤣🤣
    3
  179. VW-2026 finally matching Tesla-2022 means they’re only 4 years behind instead of 10. It’s impressive but still not good enough.
    3
  180. Companies are required by law to defend their trademarks or they can lose all rights to them.
    3
  181. All developments are good, but what we have now is ‘good enough’, and Toyota are very publicly failing to fully commit to EVs. This is similar to Blackberry releasing their phone with a touch screen 5 years after the iPhone came out.
    3
  182. No, the actual doubling is for that specific technology which was 5%, it’s expected to double to 10% in the next 5-10 years. It’s only use is where weight is the critical factor.
    3
  183. Now put those vehicles through safety testing.
    3
  184. The batteries are still under warranty 🙄
    3
  185. This is a clever ploy, when the government refuse to raise the cap, legacy auto can blame that as the reason why they haven’t ramped up EV production as fast.

  221.  @aftonline  the battery chemistry hasn’t been changed, so the fire risk is still there, they’ve (presumably) reduced the risk, they can’t remove it completely.
    2
  222. The simplest explanation for the cause of this is the driver hitting the accelerator instead of the brake. Humans do this quite a bit and have been for decades.
    2
  223. it’s too hard to store and liquefying it alone throws away 30% of its energy.

    2
  239. Good points, however I’m guessing that none of them will still be true in less than 2 years from now. Also sales of CT aren’t going to ‘cannibalise’ 3s or Ys because 1) They’re totally different markets 2) Demand for 3s & Ys massively exceed supply. And you clearly don’t understand the ownership of shares. Go learn something instead of posting nonsense.

  243. Ridiculous nonsense. The FSD chips were custom designed for Tesla by Jim Keller with v4 delivering up to 50 TOPS of performance.
    2
  244. There’s no need to totally ban ICE cars, just as there was no need to ban horses. The reality is that even the ban on producing them isn’t needed, market forces will resolve the issue (and are already doing so).
    2
  245. Considering it’s only a 5-seater!... ...Probably not. If they did a 12, they’d clean up.

  246. You won’t when an EV is better and cheaper.

  247.  @neildolan7177  I’m referring to the 48V/Etherloop in the CyberTruck and future Teslas. It won’t be perfect but it will be much more reliable than current ICE cars.
    2
  248. Better go buy their shares then… …Just don’t complain when they go bankrupt.
    2
  249. 1) Tesla superchargers aren’t intended for everyday use, most owners charge at home, they only use superchargers on their occasional longer trips. 2) Some Tesla owners get free charging. 3) The price you quoted is for NON-Teslas, nobody is forcing their owners to use the Tesla network. 4) Non-Tesla owners are effectively subsidising Tesla owners, if I had a Tesla I would be all in favour of such an arrangement. 5) ‘at the moment’ implies you think the price of diesel is temporary, think again, it’s only going to get higher, where I am it’s £1.86/Li = £8.44/g. At 50 mpg that’s 17p/mile. Electricity currently costs 28p/kWh, at 4.5 miles per kWh (Tesla-3) that’s 6p/mile or about 1/3 the cost of diesel. It’s not obvious to me why Tesla very generously allowing non-Teslas to use their network is a ‘bad thing’.

  273. Wright’s law can’t make electrolysis more efficient to make the hydrogen, or the 30% of energy thrown away by liquefaction, or the50% thrown away by fuel cells. Your mentioning Ammonia which is even less efficient that hydrogen, just tells everyone here that you’re clueless.
    2
  274.  @DC.409  it’s not about the cost of the fuel cells, it’s about their appalling inefficiency, and that isn’t going to improve much after over 109 years of development. You’re utterly clueless.
    2
  275.  @michaelphillips4452  Most electric cars will only lose about 2-3% of their charge a month while sitting idle. That means that if you had a car with a 220-mile range, you could expect to lose about 4.5-7 miles out of your whole charge over the course of a month. You’re clueless.

  309. The U.K. is currently having to import massive amounts of power from France because it’s winter here, dark most of the time, and it’s been cloudy for weeks so the nation’s solar panels are generating virtually zero. Now apply those conditions to solar powered cars and you won’t even get off your driveway.
    2
  310. Not at their current scale they can’t, and most of legacy auto are massively in debt.
    2
  311.  @desertdan100  you’re missing the point, the productivity of the panels is given in litres at STP (standard temperature and pressure) when it’s density is 0.083 g/Li. Sam then calculated the mass of hydrogen produced using the density of LIQUID hydrogen which is 71.1 g/Li. In my opinion the article quoted the yield by volume in a deliberate attempt to trick people into thinking it’s good. The key here is that the efficiency of the panels is half that of PVs, not 500x better.

  324.  @nickmcconnell1291  Except hydrogen forms molecules of H2 while Helium is an inert gas and remains as single atoms. Helium escapes containment (leaks) more than hydrogen. The problem with hydrogen is it’s highly reactive, damages it’s containment and escapes that way.

It’s a gimmick that reduces the range of the car. The reality is that capturing CO2 is better and more efficiently performed by a dedicated industrial large scale processing plant. Note that if the car isn’t charged from renewably sourced electricity then they’re actually making things worse. The whole project is meaningless virtue signalling, which given what the Dutch government is currently doing to its farmers, is entirely predictable.

  424.  user-uk8tl3xy9e  You obviously haven’t read the specification. To obtain an energy storage of 100 mWh requires 36,000 concrete blocks each weighing 35 tonnes. Getting the output of 25mW requires the blocks to be dropped 60m at a rate of 1.2 blocks per second. Given that even in freefall it takes 3.5 seconds to fall 60m, it seems reasonable that a power extracting decent will take around 10 seconds. This means to get the needed output requires 12x blocks to be falling at any one time. Note that a prototype was supposedly built in 2019 in Italy but nobody seems to know where it is. It’s a scam.

Tyres currently wear a bit quicker on EVs because the cars are heavier. Mine seem to last 30,000 - 40,000 miles (60,000 km).

  918. The question is, what other car could they get and why? People who buy cars from new usually buy them when their current car hits 1-3 years, but they’re probably seriously considering an EV by now. The market is in such rapid change at the moment that rather than buy now, they’ll wait another year or two and see what’s available then. (Or pre-order a Tesla and just wait). If they want a truck, they’re better waiting to see what the CT is like before committing... If they want something cheaper, they’re better waiting to see what else comes out. So if everyone stops buying anything else, then the Y becomes the top seller.
