Ev’s definitely hit the wall of consumer resistance.
But I think the new solid state batteries could change that, if they live up to their promise.
Besides, I want to see Elon succeed.
Yeah, the problem with the NDB solid state batteries is that they may out last the car.
They are not so much batteries are solid state DC generators.
But they still a ways to go to get the power levels up far enough for larger applications.
Elon’s success does not stand or fall with Tesla.
The real matter is the interference of governments in the private sector, and only for the purpose of increasing their power and wiping out the rights of the people.
Perhaps you should familiarize yourself with the technology of so-called solid state batteries before pinning hopes on them. Lithium is in very limited abundance in the planet’s crust, and its price keeps increasing. Furthermore, a solid-state electrolyte such as lithium aluminum germanium phosphate (LAGP) costs about $7,500 per kilogram ($16,500/lb).
Do you think maybe this time they will work the bugs out of this technology first before they completely destroy an automotive industry that has been pumping out reliable vehicles powered by internal combustion engines for over a century? I don’t.
“Besides, I want to see Elon succeed.”
Maybe he’ll remember you in his will. /s
Almost half the existing homes in this country still have a 60A service.
Nobody ever talks about that little problem, do they...
I’m 70. I’ve been reading articles about huge advancements in fusion for decades. Same with batteries that will “change everything.” Oh, let’s not forget about room temperature super conductors. Science is wonderful. Science reporting is less so.
Thing is we have technology that is mature and inexpensive, ICE engines. The only problem with ICE technology is it has become the target of lunatic Climate Marxists who want us all wearing fig leaves and eating beans, which they will discover is causing global warming gases. Incidentally, they’ll be in their air-conditioned ivory towers chowing down on Kobe beef.
