Maybe this isn’t the right metaphor. Lightning and thunder are essentially the same things — just the light and sound manifestations of a certain phenomenon.
Nonetheless, in a sense, I guess you could say that the Model 3 and Model Y will be different forms of the same thing as well, right? Different vehicle forms using the same powertrain — or a very similar powertrain.
This is part two of a two-part review of the Tesla Model 3. I am a Portuguese man living in Portugal and recently visited the United States and Canada for a couple of weeks. On the trip, I spent a week with the Model 3 and am offering my honest opinions on the car in this day-by-day narrative.
Tesla has officially taken the wraps off of highly anticipated version 9.0 of its firmware. A blast of updates have been sent to drivers via email, a Tesla blog post, an official support post, and even a Twitter thread to introduce the update.
“This was a learning process for us,” Dr. Wolfgang Ziebart, Technical Design Director, Jaguar Land Rover, told CleanTechnica. “The initial idea was these cars are mainly sold to people withe a green background, but then we saw that the majority of customers were different.”
California’s small solar owners pay for the transmission of electricity they don’t use, but relief is on the way.
The judge overseeing the settlement of the SEC lawsuit against Elon Musk and Tesla has asked the parties to convince her the agreement is fair and reasonable. Could she blow up the deal?
We have heard little from German electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) startup Lilium in the past few months. Apparently, though, the company is doing well and just brought on VC Atomico Partner Yann de Vries to continue its eVTOL flight progress.
ABB is known as one of the global leaders in electrical infrastructure, so when it starts talking about the digital transformation and the grid of the future, our ears perked up. We connected with the guy steering the ABB ship when it comes to leading the digital revolution, Rob Massoudi, about the transition that’s currently underway in grids around the world and pulled back the curtain on what the future grid might look like.
We have the solutions to solve the problems facing us. It doesn’t take new tech, it takes deploying the tech we have and innovating around it, much more than inventing new gizmos. That’s the techno-optimist utopia that makes sense for the coming decades, not a laboratory experiment or insolation geoengineering pipedream. We don’t have to fix every problem, just the pressing ones without creating too many new ones.
From China to North Carolina to California, advances in EV charging are being announced almost daily, helping to drive the electric car revolution forward.
