Is it a Canadian patent or do the banks that funded the R&D get a peek so they can build then at home without all the 'mess'? I'm not even saying that is bad, what I am saying is they could have gotten the results faster and even more perfected than they are at the moment if the 'end game' had been part of the initial 'pitch'. You have to trust me when I say two honest entities are much stronger than when one or both are liars, . . or worse.

I wonder what kind of spring could be wound tight enough to take me 20KM on a bike? Make the spring motor part of the wheel and an impact wrench would rewind it. Lifetime, 100 years or so, . . Go.

Long live the Arrow! oops


The 'new Sprinfield Engine' with 100,000lbs torque would have that available at all speeds as they all share gears after the one on the spring second hand is highway cruise and the slower ones a slower but climb steep hills kind of thing. Yes or No?

Tesla's battery science has been largely due to a Canadian scientist.
Which of course the white nattys do not know about, because you know - science.

^see above for info on Tesla's new million mile battery. White nattys not about to address that.

You don't read what you post do you flossy?

It doesn't exist beyond a concept on paper and I already posted a link to the Canadian whose battery break throughs are currently in use by Panasonic and thus Tesla.

Did you click the link?


Click it this time.

You can also Google his name to see his patents.

What is "Panasonic battery tech"?

Is that the thing that every car maker on the planet has been trying to develop in order to catch up to Tesla?

You would think Panasonic would just sell to everyone...

Panasonic lithium ion laptop batteries. That is what comprises the battery banks that drives Teslas.

Why is this new to you?

Bullshit.

Gigafactory 1 produces Model 3 electric motors and battery packs, in addition to Tesla's energy storage products, Powerwall and Powerpack. Panasonic makes the cells, which Tesla then uses to make battery packs for its electric vehicles. The factory is being built in phases and is currently about 30 percent complete.Apr 11, 2019

Tesla’s battery monogamy with Panasonic is about to end
By Echo HuangJanuary 22, 2019
The first made-in-China Teslas could be in production by the end of this year. And they could be equipped with batteries from domestic manufacturers, ending Japanese electronics maker Panasonic’s position as the sole battery cell supplier to Tesla.
In November, Elon Musk, CEO of the California-based carmaker said in a tweet that Tesla would consider several battery cell suppliers for its first overseas factory. A Reuters report Tuesday suggests Tesla is moving along with those plans.

Telsa's New 'Smart Summon' Feature Already Causing Hilarious and Awkward Scenes in Public - Videos

Tesla announced their new Version 10 software update last week, which included new features such as the ability to play games and watch Netflix while parking, as well as their new Smart Summon ability which allows owners to summon their car to them.

Tesla’s new “Smart Summon” mode is already causing awkwardness and confusion among the public as the company appears to attempt to test the new feature on consumers.
An array of hilarious videos have emerged of customers testing out the new "smart summon" feature on Tesla cars, which allows an owner to call the car to meet you instead of having to walk to it while parked.
The videos show owners close to collision with other vehicles, almost hitting members of the public, and even cars refusing to respond.

You're f-cking crazy. Is this the results of the LRT lobotomy?

Can you Google still?

If I searched "Panasonic gigafactory 1" I would not find anything?

Is that your claim?

You should read Dr Qiming Zhong's papers. You could lean why lithium ion batteries are currently limited to the 18650 cell.
