What more utility does the Ford have? Range is and charging speed are part of utility and the Tesla crushes the Ford on that. For 50k you get 400 miles on the Tesla and 230 miles for the Ford. Charing speed on the Ford peak 150kW, Tesla sho

They will both sell like hotcakes. Its just a nobrainer for many applications. Ford doesn't have the battery supply to transition its fleet of 700k trucks. My bet would be that Tesla considerably outsells Ford in EV pickups for quite f

Oh this old bad argument warmed up again. Remember when 5 years ago people claimed that as soon car companies make electric cars they would outsell Tesla? Well the fact is that Tesla sells more EV by far then even VW by a large amount. Scal

Seriously? The president drove it for a commercial and that is the prove to convinced you that it is real product? And Tesla didn't do a commercial with a president and therefore its a fake product? They are both large car companies wh

And neither does the F150 Lightning. What a dumb ass argument.

This same old story gets warmed up ever fucking time. With the Model S, with the Model 3. Its so fucking tiered. Even at 20% conversion of preorders (and that is way lower Tesla usually gets) they have plent for the first 1-2 years of produ

Äh I have to disagree. This is far, far, far less of a game changer compared to the Cybertruck. It basically worse and more expensive at everything and its very unlikely Ford can build close to as many as the Cybertruck. Simply because of b

That's simply wrong. RISC-V is explicitly designed to enable high-end performance. That was literally one of their goals. Of course with the necessary extensions but that is the case on all ISA.

So basically a bunch of non technical opinion about Elon Musk and your partly nonsensical interpretations of his actions? Color me unconvinced. Las Vegas is literally a first of a kind minimal application. Self-Driving is still planned. &gt

Literally 1000s of people have been pointing this out since the very second Tesla started talking about it.

Have you actually read his paper? Not the bunch of nonsense later published by people like Hyperloop One and other basically scam companies? What is your bases for dismissing it? Is it videos by one youtuber (who gets reference literally by

Tesla has made profits continually (even during the pandemic) for more then 2 years. They stated clearly that putting less then 10% of their cash assets into something that was highly liquid, but had also chance at gaining value was prefera

What an idiotic thing to say. This is just pure 'I don't like this person so I'm gone shit on everything he does' syndrome. Rich people buy rich people things, yes, and it matter if its a gas car or an electric. And it m

Whenever people start talking about Big Brain 4D Chess I think, probably not it. Elon is pretty busy, before he got into space flight, he new very little about it. Some people at the time said as much. However 2 years later the same person

He bought $20M in Tesla stock that went up 8x (or something) and that 420$ thing (not a joke, that was a very serious thing) so it actually made him a lot of money.

Yes one of the other companies would could have sold credits, is now no longer in the market making there be less credits on the market. Crazy how that works.

by nickik 5y ago
People telling me not to invest in Tesla have been telling me 'credits will go away next year' since 2015. Yes, eventually it goes away, but anybody that actually reads the sheet knows that Tesla doesn't depend on these credi

That Tesla cap is VW is simply not true. VW simply doesn't include a lot of the things Tesla would be doing themselves. Like service, power production, higher vertical integration, sales and so on. And that is excluding the possibility

Elon and Tesla invested in batteries because of their opinions on hydrogen. Its not like they realize this now. 15 years ago Tesla could have bet on hydrogen, and they didn't. > They only care about $/mile Every analysis so far
471.
by nickik 5y ago
Yes, but you can make the same argument about anything. Why not methanol. Why not battery swapping. The question is how expensive is the initial investment and how expensive are the operating cost. Hydrogen trucks will be more expensive, th

Tests have shown then depending on the situation lunar regolith can go up 80MPa. And the more water is contained, the harder it gets. You get low yield from that, around 10%. So you need to mine a pretty large amount and process it. So you

But the question is why would you make it there. The materials will be clearly far cheaper sourced from earth. You can probably make high quality steel on the moon but its not easy. You need to do prospecting on the moon, find what material

Well he lost in Russian campaign. But after that there was still all of central Europe between him and Russian army. He then lost more in eastern German refusing to negotiate. Then Austria joined the war and he continued losing in Germany.

The problem is that the world 'feudal' is very overloaded. There are some historians that basically refuse to use it outside of a very limited perspective. Other historians (mostly non-medieval historians) use it for basically eve

The question is what the advantage is. If you are launch bulk materials, a railgun will be cheaper. And for human launch a SSTO reusable lander should be fine.
