Happens to the best of us, at least until we get those fancy robot bodies.
I like his thinking here, but I don’t think the current li-ion tech cuts the mustard. Too volatile, charge rate not fast enoigh without trickery, useful lifetime not long enough etc. As always, battery tech is the biggest drag on innovation.
New innovations in battery technology materials, cathodes, anodes and chemicals used will make the systems last longer, maybe even permanent, such that you may never need to replace the battery at all.
Mr. Musk is getting the ‘other stuff’ ready to accept the new technology. So, all he has to do is get it into peoples’ homes and eventually be the sole seller. Say a new battery comes along in a couple of years, all he has to do is replace th old one with the new one and everything else remains the same.............
