Actually: 1. None of the gasoline distribution and storage infrastructure is usable for hydrogen distribution and storage (hydrogen is either stored at super-low temperatures or under incredibly high pressure + it easily leaks from most storage containers and degrade many common materials) 2...

1. As if buying more batteries from suppliers (just like everyone else) was impossible... 2. Electric motors are already very efficient.

Teslas have a backup mechanical door release - so even if all electronics fail its possible to open cars front doors (unless cars structure is so compromised that jaws-of-life are needed).

This might get Epic into serious trouble in the EU since we have strict data protection regulations - taking data without users consent can result in an extremely high penalty (up to €50M or 4% of worldwide revenue - whichever is higher).

While we are at it, how about updating gas tax (accounting for about 20 years of inflation since the last update)? Oh, and extra tax to pay for negative effects of car emissions in cities on human health.

Well, Tesla will stop buying around 90 000 Nvidia Drive PX 2s in Q2 2019 when they switch to their own chips for Autopilot and since Nvidia Drive PX 2 is not exactly cheap, this will further hurt Nvidia revenue.

In early 2019 (likely end of Q1) Nvidia will also lose +-80K sales (per Q) of Nvidia Drive PX 2 when Tesla switches to its own ASIC for Autopilot. This will mean a loss of revenue of around $200M per Q.

Features are being added gradually (after all their cars are not self-driving yet) - Elon said that recognizing emergency vehicles (and appropriately reacting to them) will happen in a few months.

FYI: 1. After the recent update, Tesla cars are able to exit highway (at which point it will stop at the end of offramp and beep at the driver) 2. If he used cars navigation it would exit the highway either near its destination and stop at the end of the offramp or it would do the same near...

Only the police car that was behind him was driving in S pattern - and that was to make sure that other traffic won't complicate stopping his car.

I look forward to such idiotic companies being bankrupted by fines thanks to GDPR... If you cant keep personal info safe, you shouldn't store it...

This method is actually just an automated password guess machine - so its useless for phones with a limited number of attempts before data is erased. To unlock updated iPhone with a limited number of attempts before data is erased, you either need to find the code or pay $$$$$$$ for some...

Those loopholes are usually created by changes to laws that corporate lobbyists help put there - after making necessary campaign contributions...

That's what they get for constantly cheating on income taxes - if they paid income tax properly, nobody would be coming with these ideas...

In that case, they would have to also abandon their customers here in the EU and it's much much cheaper to pay a tax in the EU than to give up profits from EU customers. Getting a free pass for tax avoidance that borders on tax cheating is not a constitutional right here...

It's quite likely that she didn't receive those stamps from the government but bought them for actual recipients for something like 70-80 cents per dollar.

Photo of the perpetrator...

Amazon shouldn't be surprised when they get another fine from EU because this is a classic case of dominant position abuse.

I hope my next GPU will be cooled by tears of bankrupt crypto miners...

I was told the same during the tour last year and when others went to look at equipment around VAB I asked about that claim because it seemed incorrect and that guy admitted to exaggerating that claim.

1. for a first year it is more than most people expected 2. those items were included in that "less than 50%" - and only physical difference between Flacon 9 reusable and expendable configurations are grid fins and landing legs (both pretty minor items from cost perspective) 1st stage never...

Fisker made so many promises over past few years (which later turned out to be BS) that I would ignore him until he delivers something real.

How did you manage to fit all that crap is a single post? 1. They reused 3 stages already, with 2-4 more to be reused before the end of the year. 7 would represent 1/3 of 1st stages launched by SpaceX in 2017 2. Preparing 1st reused stage (on which they deliberately did much more work and...

Enforcement is super easy - cameras reading license place and connected to DMV database. After that just send everyone who was caught a letter informing them about their €500 fee for entering no ICE zone.

Wouldnt suprise me if this ended with $$$$$$$ settlement due to violation of his constitutional rights.

Its almost like you (and quite a few others who also commended here) didnt bother reading even text in OP, let alone linked article... "Perry said Tesla’s efforts are centered on an electric big-rig known as a “day cab” with no sleeper berth" - so this is for regional use, not for shipping...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opinion_polling_for_the_French_presidential_election,_2017#Macron.E2.80.93Le_Pen Polls for 2nd round (2 candidates with most votes advance to 2nd round - this year most likely Le Pen vs. Macron) are 60:40 for Macron. Italian government shows absolutely no interest...

In that case you are not paying any attention - european companies often pay hundreds of millions € for breaking competition laws/regulations. But unless US companies are involved US press almost never pay any atteantion to those cases. So, I would welcome a better research from you, next time...

Nonsense - lithium isnt very toxic (its actually used for some drugs) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithium_(medication) Cobalt just like any other heavy metal is quite toxic, but that doesnt stop us from safely using those metals in many industries - as long as you process/use/recycle it...

Which doesnt happen except for Nissan Leaf which used idiotic design. Everyone now cover their EV batteries with 8+ year warranty and and based on data from EVs that have travelled a significant distance (100+K miles) we can determine that degradation isnt a big problem in properly designed...

Ever heard of recycling? Thats what is being done even with current 10v lead acid car batteries and those are a hell of a lot less valuable to recycly than EV batteries. And you have clearly never seen a modern battery factory - they are pretty clean.

1. hit on profitibility? - I dont think so - by having a highly automated recyclyng facility that is optimized to recycle a specific product + by avoiding shipping thing across the world a few times + not having to pay for middleman (and their profit) Tesla is likely to save money by recycling -...

1. China isnt the cheapest - price for buyers is the same (global market etc.) 2. Musk and his allies have 50+% (IIRC Musk alone has over 30%) of shares, so they can do whatever they like + recycling can be done in accordance with western environmental standards without big extra cost, if you...

Wrong (again) - https://www.statista.com/statistics/268790/countries-with-the-largest-lithium-reserves-worldwide/ Reserves in metric tons Chile 7,500,000 China 3,200,000 Argentina 2,000,000 Australia 1,500,000 As for shipping, same is true about 99% of everything you can buy. Only low value...

Except for you being full of crap - Tesla/Panasonic are not making those EV batteries in China - they are made in Japan with pretty small environmental impact, which will be even lower once production moves to Gigafactory1 in USA. There is also no indication that Tesla would need to replace...

Couldnt happen - its not a Mustang ;)

"pedal was pressed 100% as shown by the two redundant sensors located on the accelerator pedal that monitor the pedal’s physical position." https://electrek.co/2017/01/02/tesla-model-x-sudden-acceleration-smear-campaign/

just a detail - Panasonic batteries supplied to Tesla are made in Japan.
