Tesla Now the Most Valuable Car Company in the USA

That's only a bit over 1.6 trillion KWH's. Mere child's play.

Then there is the famous Westchester Dinner theater analogy. They built 8 holes for the guys and 8 for the gals ... yep, the results were obvious. Men needed a minute to pee against a wall whereas the girls need hours to do whatever they do in there... I have always been curious. Of course, they had to build more gals stuff.

My point is 8 gas pumps do not get replaced with 8 charging points but more like 50 or so and for the same reasons and needs a lot more real estate.... trillions and trillions ... this is not Norway.

The future is here.

Entrants to the Bangor to Caribou race using only this vehicle is taking place on Feb 1 2020. CN will give a bag of coal to all who complete the race.

Here is what the Germans have come up with to solve the problem.....you gotta get one BB!

but Kev you don't get it ... human powered transport is the perfect way to cover short distances quickly and with minimum harm to the environment. For 130 years, it and its modern variants have not been surpassed for efficiency, eco-friendliness and keeping the populace fit.

They had better get used to them. Germany once again has destroyed themselves. The Kaiser would be proud.

I loved the comments after the piece. One guy said that it takes 20-30 diesel trucks to go around the city and round them up where they have been discarded, take them to be charged overnight, and redistribute them before the next morning. Another cited our recycle programs where big diesel trucks drive around and pick up cans and bottles and cardboard only to dump it at the landfill......

You always see ads for these things on nice sunny days.

November to March is for example in the city of Berlin is dark (lights?) and cold (heater?) with lows about zero (C). With about 23 inches of rains and lots of cloudy days. That is why having spent over one trillion dollars on solar, results are not so good. Some winters are really nasty when East winds blow off the Russian Steppes. In short, another really stupid idea from the left.

Ship them off to S. CA where they belong. I could have used them in my recent trip there ... WAM, no I could not. I am a broken down old fart and would be a hazard to all on these things and would have killed myself for sure.

So as China leaps headlong into EVs and builds more coal power stations to run them we get

Tesla adventure. Check out the costs.

Like Beto and Pelosi the man seems to have a brain injury that prevents speech without waving arms.

My family suffers that affliction also, but it skipped me it seems......he is full of *censored* if he thinks that charging for 8 hours is not an imposition. IF you can find a charger. His trip was carefully charted to include the stops at stations that offered it. Try just busting out and traveling and see how it works.

I guess the California police force that decided to equip its officers with Tesla's should have studied Peukert's Law. In a nutshell Peukert's Law (which involves some complex mathematics) states that as the electrical demand (or load) upon a battery increases, storage capacity as measured in amp hours decreases. Radically in fact. A chase at 120 MPH may turn a car claimed to be capable of 300 miles of travel at an average of 40-50 MPH into one capable of 40-50 miles of travel. Just what a police officer in hot pursuit needs.

Nobody cares about the fact that SC is way above the state average for crime, only the fact that the police chief is proud of the fact that they only consume 25% of the energy that the dept did in 2005.

It gets better

Even if I could afford it there is no way that car goes into my garage. I wonder how long it took to put the fire out.
