AVERE’s E-Mobility Conference (AEC2018), taking place on 17 and 18 October 2018 in Brussels, is gearing up to be THE conference to set the tone for the electrification of transport for the next decade.
I’ve been curious lately — how has Tesla coverage in the mainstream media evolved over time? Has Tesla coverage always been batshit crazy? Or is that a relatively new thing?
Last week, I wrote about dramatically negative press sentiment about Tesla that was prevalent 10 years ago. The company was sure to die any day, according to smart dudes at The Truth About Cars, the New York Times, and most outlets in between.
I did something quite irresponsible lately. I made a prediction 6½ years in the future about Tesla’s finances. The normal financial analyst horizon is a single quarter, and that is often too difficult.
I recently interviewed a major auto executive. Below is an edited transcript of our interview.
I have decided to write this short letter to you following rumours of a Tesla factory opening in Germany. As a Tesla fan, user and campaigner, I feel somehow obliged to tell you there are better places for your European presence (not saying Germany is a bad choice, but simply that there are better). The location I have in mind, naturally, is Poland. Here are just a few reasons behind it, in random order (or not).
I am proud to be on the side of working-class Americans. I’m proud to support progressive political candidates who are working to get millions more people the basic health care, livable wages, and core education that are the bedrock of a healthy, happy, successful country.
Tesla Shuttle, a city-to-city Tesla shuttle service (who would have guessed it from the name?), has expanded into the United States.
Tesla has a long history of in-sourcing production. It started with the idea of following the Apple model. That meant doing the design itself, finding factories which could make it, having no production itself — only design, marketing, and sales. That didn’t work — nobody did know how to make an electric car.
After spending three days with the Byton team in Monterey, California, at the world famous Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, I talked to the team in detail on behalf of CleanTechnica about their upcoming M-Byte, which included a ride in the 85% ready prototype. You will also hear what other people had to say about the car. I was recovering a cold … but notice that not even that stops me from talking!
The most popular CleanTechnica stories of the past week happened to be led by fake news — real fake news, not journalism that just happens to reveal Donald Trump crimes and cons. That said, the fake news is news with a purpose — it’s satire of some of the anti-Tesla hit pieces we’re seeing in higher and higher number.
