Good morning, East Coast! I went to Elon Musk's big Neuralink presentation last night, and it was completely bananas. Read the startup's white paper (https://t.co/nfNUfinLfm) and my story:https://t.co/wMbRvNqHda— Rebecca Robbins (@RebeccaDRobbins) July 17, 2019

In Australia we had a spate of residential PV fires caused by poor quality and poorly installed DC isolators. Water would get in they would short, heat up and catch fire. I’d put a small amount of money on this being the installation contractors fault not the fault of Tesla.

if their business proposition is anything like solarcity’s residential one, they *are* the installers or coordinate the installation work

My impression is that having as much of the global economy's energy needs supplied by electricity as possible is the most viable path to weaning us off fossil fuels. Personal vehicles as a method of transportation are terrible at efficiency, but getting people to stop loving their cars is going to be massively difficult. By comparison, getting them to adopt EVs will be child's play.
― A is for (Aimless), Monday, 9 September 2019 19:44 (four years ago) link
getting them to adopt EVs will be child's play.
this is going to happen v fast, with any luck. Given that the average lifespan of a car is 10 years, it's conceivable we see a massive shift within a decade.

Interesting they mention Sl_lSI partners in that. I’ve met them and they know a lot about finance and a a lot about wishful thinking but stuff all about battery chemistry. Basically they will invest in battery projects that meet their IRR requirements, preferably where someone else is holding the risk.
There are 20 year lithium batteries today. Toshiba Lithium Titanate cells should get you there at a (very high) price. It all comes down to whether the Tesla team can scale that chemistry and electrode structure in a cost effective way. This is probably a when, not if, but when is a long time where battery tech is concerned.

let it be clear that "pedo guy" is a known insult among south african youth and not meant to be taken literally
also, Elon hired some scammer out of the UK who randomly offered to dig up dirt on pedo guy for $50K. he will, unfortunately, not be continuing the investigation as our prospective detective is currently in prison

Here's a great idea! Instead of thoroughly testing this feature, which would probably delay its release for months, if not a year or two, let's just release it and let our customers play around with it using their own vehicles. They'll tell us where are the problems are, then we can fix them!
