Tesla to cut thousands of jobs as Elon Musk warns the ‘road ahead is very difficult’

Over the course of the trip, the Thomsens averaged a speed of 58.9 mph (94.8 km/h), and stopped 19 times to charge at Tesla Superchargers. The trip also consumed a total of 832 kWh of energy, averaging 293 Wh/mi (182 Wh/km). It should be noted that while all three members of the family took turns behind the wheel of the Model 3, Tesla’s Autopilot driver-assist system, as well as its Navigate on Autopilot feature, took care of the overwhelming majority of the driving in the trip. The Thomsens arrived at the Portofino Hotel in Redondo Beach at 08:12 pm PDT on Sunday, July 14, making the over 2,800-mile journey a 48-hour 10-minute trip.
The Swiss family’s record-setting trip beat the previous EV Cannonball Run record, which was achieved on December 2017 in a Tesla Model 3 LR RWD with 18″ Aero Wheels. The journey, which was pulled off by automotive journalist Alex Roy and the vehicle’s owner, Daniel Zorrilla, was completed in 50 hours, 16 minutes. It should be noted that Roy and Zorilla’s EV Cannonball Run run was conducted in the dead of winter, which, as the automotive journalist candidly admitted in his Twitter updates during the trip, affected the electric car and its occupants.

They are? You know that a jet relys on combustion gases to produce thrust right?
What other nonsense are you going to spew? Electric rockets?
"Hybrid E Fan" is still a pipe dream.
LNG turbines on the other hand are far more likely.
Dumber than a bag e-hammers.
E-fan yup. Jets definetly no.
Let's let NASA explain.
All jet engines, which are also called gas turbines, work on the same principle. The engine sucks air in at the front with a fan. A compressor raises the pressure of the air. The compressor is made with many blades attached to a shaft. The blades spin at high speed and compress or squeeze the air. The compressed air is then sprayed with fuel and an electric spark lights the mixture. The burning gases expand and blast out through the nozzle, at the back of the engine. As the jets of gas shoot backward, the engine and the aircraft are thrust forward. As the hot air is going to the nozzle, it passes through another group of blades called the turbine. The turbine is attached to the same shaft as the compressor. Spinning the turbine causes the compressor to spin.

Dumber than 2 bags of e-hammers.
Yeah. It's E-fans. 36 of them.
They only use jet in the name.

I have an all electric toaster, works like a hot-damn.
Beats the hell outta my diesel toaster (except when camping of course)

Can't be anywhere close to the nastiness of the obscene gas produced by the many vegans in YVR
If it's Punjabi vegan count me in otherwise forget it. I have noticed a heavy smell of deep fried though. On the brightside, GMO canola fuels the people of that city.
All jets are fans you jabbering idiotDumber than 2 bags of e-hammers.
