She can make the round trip and have 25% range left over. Tesla LR range is 325 miles. Gas car owners have never left home every day with a full tank of gas. They have not stayed away from gas stations for weeks at a time. The "tank empty" light comes up often at very inconvenient moments.
Elections are on in India. Being flooded with WhatsApp videos. One set of cousins send videos making your blood boil about BJP and NarendraModi. Another set of cousins about Congress party and Rahul Gandhi.
Hey, hey, cool it down both sides, messages provoke angry replies from both groups.... Welcome respite.
And if you can not drive all the way to M87 without stopping for refueling, the battery cars are no good. All that talk about carbon emissions, and Elon is still using chemical burning rockets! If he is so smart why didn't he design an electric rocket, eh? He sneaked an electric car into orbit riding on the same old fossil fuel powered rocket, and all his fans are going ga-ga over it fooled into thinking that spaceman roadster got up there on its own electric charge. geez.
Is it possible some copyright is expiring and something is going into the public domain? So all action must be taken to preserve and perpetuate the income stream of the rent seekers?
The airline schedule is self reported by the air line. It is simply a truth-in-advertising, truth-in-labeling compliance.
Electric car mileage is not a self reported thing by the company. It is tested and certified by a government agency. Heard YMMV? Why is that? Everyone knows YMMV. It is basically a comparison tool. If you want to compare the fuel costs of two vehicles, you compare their reported MPG rating. To compare electric car with a gasoline car you compare the MPGe with MPG. It is still an imperfect tool. Gas prices and electricity prices vary a lot all over the country.
To compare two electric cars you compare the EPA tested miles. Again, there is no guarantee you will actually achieve the reported range, but under similar circumstances, EPA rated 300 mile car will go double the distance of a EPA rated 150 miles car. That is all it is useful for.
When people are booking tickets, they also consider the time taken, convenience of departure time, arrival time etc. So the airlines can not blindly pad it up, they will lose market share. That is why they are still 15 min late on average despite the padding.
... The National Association of Buggy Whip Manufacturers completely removed membership fees, and has announced a brand new apprentice ship program to train new workers who just have pay the tuition fees.
Batteries could beat ICE cars in F segment, ultra high luxury back in 2012.
It took E segment in 2014-2015 time frame. Just luxury level
It is cost effective in TCO metric already for the D segment, 40K - 50 K.
It is on the verge of taking over C segment 25K to 35K. You can expect the bottom to fall out of the ICE car market. Leading to all sorts of non linear effects.
Long before sea levels rise 20 m, annual weeds would have become perennial. Bugs and vermin killed by annual frost will thrive year around. Pesticide and weedkiller usage will skyrocket, and all the farm hands will die of cancer or leave the fields. When the North American break basket is lost, the global famine will wipe out most of the infrastructure and civilization. The surviving Homo sapiens postapocalipsia will simply pitch their thatched huts on higher and higher ground from the seashore.
Because Tesla uses purely optical cameras, these hacks are visible to human eye, once it has been pointed out, or during accident investigation. Lidar based navigation, if hacked using similar techniques, would not be visible. You would need special lidar forensic equipment to even know the lidar has been fooled.
Human drivers too would be affected if someone adds fake lane marking. I remember a prankster was arrested for rearranging the traffic cones in a construction zone to create two colliding lanes. There is so much more mayhem that can happen, people might remove stop signs, drop stuff from overpasses, or scatter nails or tacks on the high way....
The well orchestrated campaign stretching back for 11 years now. From day 1. If you have negative opinion of Tesla, check to see how your trusted news sources have been misleading you for a decade.
Success of Tesla threatens the stealership network (6% margin on 300 billion sales) , the gasoline car makers (300 billion annual sales in USA alone), the oil industry (450 billion/pa in USA alone). Tesla does not advertise so media makes it the whipping boy to burnish their fearless journalistic credentials.
There is a path to independence from fossil fuels with the EVs. Solar and wind can produce enough energy for the world. Battery tech is improving for short term (days) storage. Pumped hydro and compressed air in abandoned mines for long term (months/seasonal). We are not there yet. But at least the movement is in the right direction.
With gasoline cars, there is never an end. We have to get rid of diesel trucks and gasoline cars.
Beating the pants off the Germans and the Japanese. So how do we reward it?
Even/. that is tolerant of pot and porn is hostile and call the CEO a pot smoking fraud. Well orchestrated campaign is on to oust the star CEO to hobble its ability to raise capital.
Structure the tax break to punish the ones that take early lead and risk. Tax break for Tesla and GM EVs are being phased out while the imports enjoy full benefit.
Tesla is not arguing production numbers are immaterial. It is just arguing, the same number and the range has already been published. The no new material info in that tweet. It is arguing the clarification "it is 500 K/yr rate not 500K for 2019' is just due to some abundance of caution and clarification. Issued well before markets opened.
Anyway Elon seems to be finding new ways to communicate material info without running afoul with SEC. Rapping about a dead gorilla means good news coming, Tweeting about bankwuptcy means "staring at death in single digit number of weeks". How can any staid slow moving agency deal with this sort of thing?
By law of large numbers and actuarial stats, the profits and revenues of the platform is more predictable. But for each individual gig worker, the gigs are sporadic, and they obey the law of small number, one. Their jobs, income etc so unpredictable, it can not be relied up on.
The power is with the platform not with the gig workers.
Some of the anti-discriminatory laws and equal access laws can be more easily flouted in gig economy along with laws regarding safety, insurance etc. So a few bad apples can cut a large swath of the market to swear off such platforms.
Due to the existing settlement, Tesla had an obligation to police Musk's communications, regardless of the effect of the communication on the stock price and regardless of who else might have said the same thing.
That is the stand of SEC, and it looked like an open and shut case. He tweeted. There is no policing. Case closed.
But the agreement had an out for Elon. Only material tweets need to be policed. And SEC argued how will you know it is material or not, so you need policing. But that means all his tweets must be policed. Specifically that point was removed from the agreement. So SEC had agreed Elon has some discretion to decide whether or not a tweet is material. He need not ask for clearance if he believed, and there was reason to believe, the tweet is not material. The number 500K as well as 500 k/year numbers were already in the 2018Q4 quarterly report and guidance. So he had the reason to believe it was not material. It is not an easy case SEC thought it would be. The judge dismissed its motion for a judgement without trial.
SEC moved for a ruling without a hearing. And lost. It is not some open and shut case the press has been reporting. Tesla's sur-reply was super good. SEC was expanding and was introducing elements not mentioned in the first round.
The free market disagrees with you. It caused absolutely no movement in the stock, either in the after market fueled by rumors alone, or the next day. Anyway, these numbers were hinted in many statements before. The dispute is 500K in 2019 or 500 K/yr rate in 2019. The tweet went through and a clarification was also issued. It is not material.

BEVs are superior.
BEV have several million outlets that cam charge it. Any electric dryer outlet is level 2!
Leaving home everyday with a full tank, priceless !!

Hydrogen is a scam run by the oil companies. It's their ace in the hole. Most hydrogen is derived from fossil fuels, natural gas reforming.

Dibs on rice paddies and wheat farming in Patagonia. Easy access to Asia, Europe, NA without Panama canal. yay!
Norway might be small area wise, but length wise (south to north) .. think San Diego to Vancouver.
But definitely very wise country.

Look at the documented predictions of death of Tesla stretching back 11 years.
