Elon Musk says Tesla's New York factory is making ventilators 'as soon as humanly possible' - Roadshow

With EV's on hold for now Musk is staying busy it seems. They are going for a more basic model with fewer parts and short to electronics to get to production faster. Initially he said it would take 8-10 weeks to ramp up but that was before any concrete plans.

Different story but I saw where ****** has sourced ventilators that are to be delivered mid May. I am starting to think the 6-18 month time window may prove to be more right than not on how long we are going to be dealing with this virus.

EV and all car sales are in the tank. One guy was telling his doctor his retirement account was down by $78K and the doctor said is that all mine is down $192K. Getting that Tesla on retirement plan may be shifting for more than a few.

Since smog seems to lead to more COVID-19 deaths I am sure EV's will be in demand in Europe and China which was the case before this flu.

Smog from coal fuel electrical generation to charge EV's. Germany is burning a record amount to coal and importing a record amount of coal generated electricity. Since shutting down nuclear and installing wind/solar.

How is musk going to increase the energy density of lithium batteries when nobody else can .

When is Henry Ford and John D. Rockefeller (founder of Standard Oil) going to increase the energy density of gasoline?

When they make them with stick shift, might get one. Wife cannot drive an automatic.

EVs are not automatic, they are 1-speed.

A big Tesla powered by North American coal-fired electricity is greenhouse gas equivalent to 30 MPG gasoline ICE. Gale's LEAF is about 45 MPG.

Germany is an excellent example of how not to do things. In a few years the official language will be Arabic, Christianity outlawed, and formally become an Islamic State.

and that has to do with irrational fear of nuclear power, not EVs.

I am very glad we have the Volt right now, super cheap to operate, will not have to go to a gas pump in the foreseeable future for it.

A ridiculous ad hominem response from GC. Liquid hydrocarbon fuels are the hands down winner in energy density, ease of transportation and a short time interval to refuel. Then again that is all academic . So what are your actual beliefs and agenda GC ?

I’ve heard these were a little over $24k.

High rate of Covid 19 deaths in Italy and Spain because the Socialized health care system refused to treat patients over 60 years of age.

Wrong.
