Jacek Fior, Tomek Gać, and I got together for another Titillating Tesla Tidbits chat. Check out the video or read the summary in text below the video to see if you really truly want to hit play. Head on over to Facebook if you’d rather watch and share there.
There has been intense focus in the media this year on Tesla’s financials and Tesla’s debt. The media coverage would make you think Tesla is one of the only companies in the world that takes on a large amount of debt. Not only is that obviously not true, but a certain James Stephenson took to Twitter yesterday to highlight in bubble chart format how dramatically unbalanced that narrative is when you compare Tesla’s debt to GM’s debt.
We’ve been covering this story in various ways, but it’s so shocking that we keep stumbling across new angles that scream for their own headlines.
I recently dropped into a Tesla store to test drive a Tesla Model 3 for the second time. I thought I’d just write about the car, but I talked with staff there for a while and a few extra points popped out that seemed to deserve their own article.
The New York Times has decided that, with Elon Musk and Tesla, yellow journalism is not below its standards. I have a few thoughts on that.
The most popular CleanTechnica stories of the past week are an interesting mix that cover “free” Supercharging for the Tesla Model 3 Performance, Tesla Semi nuances, the Tesla Model Y reservation process, the 2019 Nissan LEAF & 2018 Nissan LEAF, and much more.
The 2019 Nissan LEAF is one of the most interesting and mysterious vehicles coming to market in the next year. In many respects, it’s not mysterious — it’s simply going to be another iteration of the steady, solid, fairly popular electric car. But the car mysterious for a couple of reasons that skirt below the surface:
We’ve got three solid signs of Tesla Model 3 production growth — maybe 4 — so we figured it was a good time for another Tesla Model 3 sales update.
There have been rumors for years that the 2019 Nissan LEAF would be a step up in terms of range and in terms of the entire battery package management system. Now we have our first quote from a Nissan spokesperson indicating this.
If you’re Canadian or you follow EV policy closely, you’ve probably seen that a not-so-cool new Ontario government has kneecapped a popular electric vehicle incentive program. Well, Tesla says that’s super not cool and is now taking the Ontario government to court. Like a boss.
