Awesome, but they need to prove that they can actually produce these products. Terrible job thus far on the Model 3.

I found it pretty cool on our trip to Montana last year that we stopped in at least three gas stations that had Tesla charging stations. One was actually being used and the car ended up passing us within an hour on the highway. Electric motors have an advantage as they get up to rpm instantly thus the performance numbers. Now the battery suppliers just needs to get their shit together. |

It's going to upend the trucking industry in the future. Self driving trucks, electric....

Those are some amazing number but this one is the most mind-bottling IMO:
In convoy mode, beats rail on economics |

9 out of every 10 stories are negative. When the world's auto industry has been so scared that they have all vowed to start going all electric, you know anything negative you read is bullshit. Worst negative ad campaign I've ever seen. Worse than the bullshit they're trying to peddle against SpaceX. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk |
