well then they better start building infrastructures, cuz we are having blackouts every other day here due to heat wave.. i cant imagine how it will be when everyone start charging home.
and the line will be miles long at the charge stations...
My 5 year estimate still stands for the EVs becoming the majority of new cars sales.
The remaining 5 years is for those who are buying ICE cars now to phase them out.
If you are having blackouts now, then you should consider buying Tesla solar panels and powerwalls. Tesla panels are already the cheapest in US now. No more monthly payments and no more blackouts.

That's where solar and wind power comes in but that's another conversation.
It's a supposed free market - all it takes is a company that's serious about solar to put out a product for the masses. Many HOAs in my area have been opening up to solar as well. If I planned on staying in my house more than 7 years I'd consider it; my roof is perfect for it.
Once our financial situation improves, I'd like to upgrade the solar on our house.
We've currently got a 1.5Kw 4-panel system that's about 7 years old.

yah tell that to our Nazi HOA who towed my own car from my own parking space....
I am gonna move once this shit storm is over.. whenever that is...
beware that telsa has a racket with roof panels for solar. A buddy with a 5 year old roof (new construction house) was told his roof was not in good enough shape for the Tesla Panels and was quoted 30K by tesla for a new roof. Total ripoff considering the roof isn't in rough shape, under warranty and a new roof should only cost about 10-12K in FL.

Was that for Tesla Solar panels on the existing roof or for the Tesla Solar roof? The pricing on both are different as you know.
Yeah there should be good competition to reduce the prices, but as I understand one of the competitor started using Tesla products.

How are you getting 1.5KW out of four 7 yr old panels? What type of panel is that?
I dont know from where he pulled these numbers. It is time that Federal Reserve only support those firms that are built with 100% (Technology, Material and labor built inside US) with only export allowed at real profit.
Alternative just need to look around bit outside to get idea where things are going
their stock was around $300 when this video was released now it’s almost $1400. Imagine how much more money you’d have if you listened to me when I was putting every dollar I could into Tesla when it was dropping down to $200.
i think there’s a good chance they post a profit for Q2 which means they would qualify for the S&P. It’s not to late to invest, and I’ve been saying for a while put all your money into Tesla, I did. I’m doing pretty pretty pretty good
If y'all had listened to me when I posted this on July 9th when Tesla closed at $1394 and put all of your savings into Tesla, you'd be up 43% right now when it's at $1990.
Y'all are just throwing an amazing, life-changing opportunity away
I'm over here screaming from the mountaintops for the past couple years to invest in Tesla, providing all sorts of reasons why, all of them are coming true. Then a decade later you'll look back and say that you should've invested, I wish I would've known. LMAO
Hit 1997 at some point today.
Don’t forget the split at 2100. .
I had my RDX 80k mile service recently which cost me around $1500. That’s still better than spending $50k on a new car. I’d rather keep that money in TSLA for now. .
I think one reason Tesla selected Austin,TX for Gigafactory is that may be they can send the cars easily to Mexico and other Central American countries whenever that market opens up and production bottlenecks have been cleared. The trade agreement works both ways right? It’ll be fun to watch.
I can imagine Giga Austin easily churning out 2-3 million cars annually.

The biggest car factory in the world, Hyundai (Ulsan), produces about 1.5M car per year. Even after its expansion, Fremont may max out at about 500K/yr. I doubt Austin will do much more than that.

I don't go by the standards set by the legacy ICE automakers. That's what is history.
Don't underestimate Tesla and Elon. They might show up with a bunch of rabbits under their hat like every time.
As @oonowindoo suggested that we are Fanboys living in Fantasy land. But if Elon didn't have the wildest fantasies we would still be looking at the ICE mpg figures and engine noise, oil changes, dealership rip offs, and insane prices for performance variants in cars, and waiting for another 50-100 years for humans to reach Mars.

from how he explained it, roofing only and then they would put the solar panels on vs doing a solar roof tile setup.

I think the only person on this forum that somehow think E cars will reach 500 miles by 2021 (In 4 months) and EV will be majority of all cars sold in 5 years is you... IF that is not fantasy, then i dont know what is...

The current state of the price of oil basically kills any chance of EVs being the majority of sales in 5 years.
Yah... that is just 1 of the many many factors that is making his 5 years plan a fantasy....
Those fundamental changes require the top dogs's cooperation and investment. Without government's support, the expansion is very limited.
With the way our government is operating now, we want more drilling, we need more coals, we want to roll back all environmental laws... Environment is not even on their priority list...
They dont even believe climate change is real...

I thought Lucid already announced that, but I get that it's not on sale now.
In any case. that's not a bad fantasy at all.
So this company Ampirus is claiming to have this revolutionary battery using silicon nanowires and acheiving 500wh/kg batteries (Tesla currently around 260wh/kg)
People were wondering what this background image for Tesla's battery day was supposed to signify
Wonder if it has anything to do with silicon nanowires...

Speaking about Tesla’s next-level powertrain, Musk says, “[It’s] mind blowing I think. Yes. Coming out later this year, end of the year probably, that’s our goal. Get powertrain up [by] end of the year and then it’s going to be like — this is like alien technology, it’s insane. … Tesla is all about hardcore engineering.”
