For 300 miles between Laramie and Evanston, she would see, according to a rough estimate, no fewer than 40 gas stations where she could fuel up her car. But if she were driving an electric vehicle, she would see just four charging stations where she could recharge her battery... Read More →

Following certain topics professionally, or just obsessively, you can pick out patterns in messaging. The important thing about messaging is that it's deliberate. It's repetitive, frequent if possible, and focused on achieving a desired result that is influenced by image or perception. The target audience may be the whole population or it may be a specific subset of the population. Heck, it could even be one person (if you're simply aiming to send a message to the president through the TV)... Read More →

I recently ran a Twitter poll to decide what to write about next. The top article the voters asked me to write was an article on how the Tesla Model Standard Range (SR) competes against models from incumbent auto manufacturers. The wonderful thing is that Tesla is now price competitive, without incentives. It is very competitive on a total cost of ownership basis.
