Here on CleanTechnica we report on clean technology of all kinds, from electric vehicles, renewable energy, recycling, and much more. However, a topic we have never touched on, or rarely touched on is Synthetic Biology. Random chance vs. Synthetic strategy Anyone who graduated high school likely knows at least some … [continued]
First things first, congratulations to Tesla — the Model 3 just got a 5 star rating from Euro NCAP. Not only that, it got the best score in Euro NCAP history.
A month ago, Tesla revealed several secrets regarding the new chip the Silicon Valley company has designed for full self-driving capability. Nonetheless, some of the people making that presentation may have failed to take into account that not everyone is fully literate in microprocessor design and engineering. I don’t fall into that category either, but I have been a computer enthusiast for quite some time and know a few things that might help me pick out some of the highlights, point out why they are so exciting, and further communicate how Tesla really is way ahead of the competition.
Elon Musk appeared today at E3 (a video game conference) in a talk with Todd Howard and Geoff Keighley. While a lot of the conversation was about games and science topics, like faster than light travel and dark matter, some of it was about Tesla. Elon also answered some very interesting general questions.
SpaceX and Tesla are more than just companies. They are a revolution of the status quo and an inspiration for millions of people. So, when these two companies come to together for a project, the result cannot be anything other than epic. That is one way to describe the birth of Starman, who was launched into space in Elon Musk’s Tesla Roadster as the payload of the very first Falcon Heavy. That means that Starman is now exploring the solar system — or is he?
Today, we have some interesting information to share with you regarding Tesla analyst price targets for TSLA. Before we get there, however, a bit of backstory: About a month ago, we livestreamed Tesla’s quarterly investor call on YouTube, adding special features like being able to see who was asking questions and what the questions were (written out in text). We even showed a live TSLA stock ticker.
As has been mentioned in previous articles, it has been rumored Tesla is about to refresh the Model S & X. While at this point we don’t know exactly what this refresh will include, we did just find out one very specific detail. Tesla has just shipped hundreds of new drive units from Gigafactory 1 as part of “Project Raven.”
The Tesla Gigafactory is a technological marvel, is largely a mystery, and also happens to be the world’s biggest battery manufacturing facility. This article was originally going to be about the financing “freeze” and what might actually be going on, but now it will also straighten out some new Panasonic lithium waste that just hit the fan.
For many years now CleanTechnica has been looking to expand beyond articles, and now it’s finally happening. Zachary Shahan is on the verge of launching a special new podcast that is focused on interviewing top people in the cleantech world, and we are also launching CleanTechnica TV on YouTube, which I will host.
Our very first episode? How about a full-fledged exclusive tour of the Tesla Fremont factory?
We always say the media is treating the world’s only electric car mass manufacturer unfairly. This week, we have some unique opportunities to see this in action.
