Project Lithium is at it again with new batteries. With LFP tech being considered by Tesla, it is no wonder more people are going lithium to solve their battery problems.
Tesla no longer needs any EV tax credits to pass for a discount on EVs (electric vehicles). The demand is so high, that it doesn't matter if the bill passes. Elon Musk was right - kill the bill completely.
Recently, numerous news sites talked about how Tesla had a recall of over 50,000 vehicles. It makes it sound like there was a big problem with those vehicles and customers had to take their Tesla's for maintenance somewhere and get parts replaced. The word recall is misleading. Here's why:
Here’s a demo video of what you can do maintenance-wise on a used Toyota Rav4 that are cheap DIY options you can try before having to take it to a mechanic.
The race to find the perfect match in battery chemistry has led university teams and private companies around the world – including Tesla, obviously - to research multiple possible pathways. One of those companies, "C4V", just introduced an interesting alternative to Lithium-Iron batteries, with LFP properties but way more efficient.
With the global semiconductor shortage showing no signs of easing Lucid appears to be setting up shop right at the source. Taiwan is the undisputed biggest player in the semiconductor industry, with a single Taiwanese manufacturer producing more than half of the planet's supply of the precious chips.
