A million miles? Okay, NOW Musk has my attention. If he can pull that off, the world’s going to be an interesting place.
Squirrel!
Wait and see...that is a big tech leap....
Every month we get another miracle battery story.
How are they for thermal runaway, higher energy density tends to increase that risk. If Musk can pull this off with a battery pack that is as safe as that in a Toyota hybrid, I’ll be very impressed and it will change the world.
Will be he id a work in electric razor, electric toothbrushes, lawn mowers, weedwhackers, adult sex toys?
Does this mean no more flaming Teslas? Even if it is still a long charge time, how many miles until a recharge is needed and will it do better in cold weather areas?
everyone knows that secret batteries are the BEST!
Note he is giving this new battery technology to China first?
Low cost, long lasting batteries from China.
What could possibly go wrong?
Who needs a battery when you can put the hydrocarbons that would charge the battery over the grid directly into the car. Eliminating the middle man has always been the best economic model.
a full 300-mile charge takes less than 9.5 hours.
how exciting i love waiting
aaand winter
t was -25C to -35C here all week in Alberta and I get only 25% to 50% of the posted range,
maybe someday a battery miracle will happen, let us pray
If everyone had an electric car and charged from home you would blow every local transformer in the country.
The grid isn’t designed for it. ICE vehicles aren’t going away any time soon.
If Elon Musk & Company can pull that off along with his success with SpaceX
I don’t like technology pushed & forced on me.
Take light bulbs, we were forced to go with CFC bulbs when they forced the halt of incandescent bulbs. If they would have just waited three years, LED bulbs were right around the corner.
For a Electric Vehicle, range and ability to refuel/recharge is its Achilles heel. They are getting the range farther and farther, and Musk has Tesla charging stations in many places. If he is able to double the range from 300 to 600 miles per charge and keep the price of the vehicle attainable he might have a bonifide winner.
Build and test a working prototype, then get back to me.
Great if true. Not holding my breath.
More Musk BS gotta get that stock up.
p
Oooooo, another stock manipulating miracle announcement from Elon!
Still to be rendered obsolete the moment “Slow discharge capacitors” are perfected.
Another tech with breathless announcements at fairly regular intervals.
SDC are also “Making steady progress” at several research labs and universities.
And they become more like potential bombs as well...
