  • Tesla earnings: Stock falls more than 8% after mixed report, lack of catalysts until October

  • Catalysts? lol There's no "catalysts" coming. The dog and pony show is slowing down because his potential market is saturated. ClusterTruck is the perfect demonstration of what Tesla is today- The same shoddy quality and slapdash assembly they've had since the first roadster in 2008 was "delivered".

    The next "robotaxi day" will be the 4th one of these boondoggles they've held to try to fleece the rubes once again. 😆 It's impressive he's still got people believing his bullshit, I'll say that for sure. There really is a sucker born every day.

  • BYD-powered Toyota Corolla PHEV could get 2100km range

  • Literally no details, and this gets posted to EV blogs just to stuff ads in peoples' faces. Why does anyone read this stuff??

    Prius prime gets a maximum of 600 miles range with a full battery and tank, and that car gets a peak estimated 140 MPG in city driving. Even if you added 5% to that number instead of just the ICE MPG, that 630 miles. Less than HALF the range in this nonsense headline.

  • Being wrong hurt you that much? That's weird.

  • But you said "or even parts of Mexico". Large numbers of components in a Tesla come from outside the US, including from Asia. Not a lot of brands are mass shipping vehicles from Asia to North America, instead they build them here. And source parts from suppliers that build factories nearby.

  • Rail is heavily used for shipping vehicles from manufacturers that put out large numbers, making it pretty economical and environmentally sensible to ship from Canada, Mexico, and many US states.

  • If you're going to lie about your vehicles, you need to make it a massive lie.

  • Looks like you got it. Nice.

  • They won't make it to the US market certainly.

  • Winning: diesel demand hits 26-year low as EV, hydrogen sales boom

  • Yep, stupid dictate

  • Claiming hydrogen vehicle sales are booming is hilarious. I'm glad EVs are picking up on the last mile and short-range delivery vehicles though, which will make all kinds of environments better.

  • Sysco takes delivery of 10 Freightliner electric semi trucks, plans to buy 800

  • That's why we're still warming the planet at a damning rate, yes.

  • Rail still exists in a lot of the US, and around the world. It's also less expensive to build and maintain new rail compared to highway lanes. And that's before you include the externalities like deaths from brake dust, pollution from rubber dust, increased traffic, traffic fatalities, road delays, and so on.

  • Not a chance. Trains make infinitely more sense at that point.

  • Tesla Supercharger access for GM, Polestar delayed

    Jump

  • I'm not trying to solve for anything except a unified connector. The upshot of which would be supporting all three phases of a three phase branch which is something that NACS mentions while only using two of the phases from a 480v system. Using all three means onboard chargers and connectors could be the same globally, and when using split phase power in north america, the onboard charger would still work completely fine but at a lower voltage.

  • Huge surprise, yeah. It's funny how a little campaign contribution can go such a long way.

  • You realize SAE doesn’t need to do anything for a standard to exist?

    Thank you for demonstrating for the class you don't know what you're talking about. You couldn't even understand the tense in a blog post.

    From the SAE page: North American Charging System It's too bad you didn't even look at your own link or you might have accidentally learned something. Also from the SAE J3400 page This Standard is currently a WIP.

    Bye now.

  • Sure, but all of these companies have had Hydrogen programs. GM had hydrogen cars back in 2009 on the road. BMW's hydrogen program is still going strong. Toyota was just smart enough to capture the incentive money while they could pretend it wasn't a boondoggle. 😆

  • He successsfully got ByteDance to use US cloud providers to run their service. Specifically cloud providers whose CEOs donated to his campaign. It was smokescreen, and apparently people believed it.
