First, Tesla is the industry leader in batteries, electric traction motors and power electronics (the "big three"). Since its establishment, Tesla has always regarded independent battery, motor and electronic control technology R&D as its foundation. It has made continuous breakthroughs in energy sto...
They are very proactive about battery thermal management. Tesla’s systems will cool or heat the battery to a safe and healthy temperature regardless of whether the vehicle is plugged in. In terms of battery cooling, Tesla has a passive and an active system. The passive cooling system works ...
In a Democratic win scenario, UBS would expect the status quo in regard to EPA powers and standards, which would continue to benefit the EV automakers like Rivian and Tesla and negatively weigh on legacy automakers. U.S. STEEL DEAL: The White House is delaying any...
Let’s just take the example of getting enough energy from batteries.The world’s largest battery factory is the Tesla Giga factory. The annual total output from this factory would produce 3 minutes of the annual US electricity demand. Even with 1,000 years of battery production, the batteries...
Fixed batteries are getting better, so why change? De Souza offered a number of inherent limitations which he thinks EVs with fixed batteries will always have, and that Ample’s system avoids. “A Tesla spends a third of its energy just taking this huge battery around,” de Souza said, re...
but they can only deliver limited Level 1 charging, often on an intermittent basis. They offer little help for charging EVs. A Tesla EV draws about 300 watts at -5 C just to keep the batteries from freezing. At -30 C, a block heater plug-in may be required just to break even, neve...
That means Tesla's multiple is 10-fold that of Apple at the time and 3.5-fold that of Amazon. The S&P 500 price-to-earnings multiple is also about 75% higher than when Apple hit its $600 billion milestone, and about 21% higher than when Amazon hit that treshold. ...
Following the dizzying spike in gasoline prices, the question arises when demand destruction will set in, where people start driving less, start taking it easier to conserve gas when they do drive, or start prioritizing the most economical vehicle in their garage. I...
Don’t get me wrong here. I like Tesla. I am a big fan of Elon Musk and what he has accomplished. Tesla’s claims on their site are forusing the PowerWall on the grid. However, others, like Solar City, appear to be suggesting using that system off-the-grid. AndTesla fans are go...
The science here gives you Mk3 Quality Modules and most personal defense items, like Mech Armor, Mk2 Personal Roboports +Mk3 Batteries. The question is, does quality matter? It only matters when you are restricted in build space. If you have an infinite field, then adding 50% more things ...
