A million miles? Okay, NOW Musk has my attention. If he can pull that off, the world’s going to be an interesting place.
But can he get the electric motor to last over 100,000 miles?
Battery tech is exciting. So are leds.
As someone who grew up thinking flashlights were a corroded chrome tube holding leaking dead ray-o-vacs...
But is Musk actually designing the battery technology? Does Tesla have the patent on these designs? I don’t follow too closely but last I remember he was making batteries in concert with some major industrial players alongside him; using their tech to fit his specs.
What I do know is that Tesla stock price closed at an all time high today. On news that it sold 11,000 cars to China last month. I dunno what to say. Doesn’t Ford sell that many cars in a day?
He is not saying the battery is good for a million miles on one charge.
