Tesla Model Y (Page 27)

Elon Musk reiterates his belief that Tesla could overtake Apple as the world’s most valuable company. Musk says the key to achieving this goal is Tesla’s lead in manufacturing technology.

A huge 2 GW contract was announced yesterday (September 28th), between Arevon Energy, an Arizona-based company, and Tesla. Arevon is a renewable energy leader, with more than 160 projects that provide services for solar, wind and energy storage, with $13 B of operational clean energy assets contracts for their services and with 1,250,000 average American homes powered annually.

“You should be able to press mic button & say “bug report,” Elon Musk tweeted on Sunday, in response to users reporting issues with the FSD – Full Self Driving (Auto Pilot): in some cases it was about collision warnings on hilly roads (when there was actually no car in front of the driver) and in some other cases getting a ding for hard braking against the driver, when it was actually the AP (Auto Pilot) that hit the brakes.

Electric transportation is a win-win: it meets customer needs, provides environmental benefits, and supports the world’s energy security. Around the world, by the year 2025 20% of all new cars sold globally will be electric, according to the latest forecast by the investment bank UBS. That will leap to 40% by 2030, and by 2040 virtually every new car sold globally will be electric, says UBS.

For decades, the few electric vehicles that were on the road were powered by lead-acid batteries. The latest models, with their lighter weight and longer range, use lithium-ion batteries, just like most laptops and cell phones. In either case, the batteries that power electric cars can be recycled. The idea of recycling used-up electric-car batteries makes sense because using recycled material in battery production is far cheaper and less environmentally damaging than mining new material.
