In his latest video on HyperChangeTV, titled “Tesla is Winning the US/China Trade War,” Gali Russell gives us a quick summary of just how Tesla is winning in the US/China trade war. In fact, the timing of the Shanghai Gigafactory has perfect timing.
Tesla’s Sentry Mode watched a fistfight go down in DC a few days ago. In the video posted on YouTube by Adeel Chohan, two guys wearing DCG tee shirts come from around the corner at a fast pace and then break out into a bouncy fistfight that has them jumping back and forth.
Just recently we learned Volkswagen is going to sell an electric vehicle (EV) retrofit kit for its classic Beetle. Many CleanTechnica articles are about the transition of the world’s driving fleet to EVs, the expectation that sales of internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles will eventually be supplanted by EVs, and a broad forecast that fleet turnover will take approximately 15 years once ICE vehicle sales cease until the world reaches 100% electric power in this sector.
So, imagine you are driving along in your fancy high-tech car, minding your own business, with your yet-to-be-feature-complete full self-driving software activated, and suddenly the car slams the brakes to a full stop, like a donkey that had an epiphany that what it was doing just didn’t serve any purpose and therefor just refused to move any further. The silicon brain of your clever-as-a-donkey-robo-car just slammed on the brakes because it saw this through one of its cameras:
Some years ago, Volkswagen Group discovered that the only legitimate way forward in the auto world was electrification. (Who knows what triggered that realization?)

Tesla hasn’t even shipped the first production vehicle from the first phase of construction at Gigafactory 3 in Shanghai, China, but it’s already breaking ground on the second phase of construction next door, according to a new report from gigafisherman Chao Zhou.
Tesla’s road to delivering 360,000+ cars in 2019 starts in the United States, runs through Europe, and ends in China. In Part 1 of this analysis, we detailed Tesla’s production capacity and how many cars the company will be able to deliver in the United States this year. In this article, we’ll take a closer look at what Tesla must do in Europe, China, and other major markets, along with the challenges that await the electric car maker.
The most popular stories on CleanTechnica last week covered various angles of Tesla fandom and the anti-Tesla narrative. There were also some Tesla Model 3 reviews, Tesla and EV sales reports, and a few pieces on the electric non-Tesla competition. Two solar stories and one oil story also slipped into the top 20.
Warren’s climate plan is a progressive patriot’s dream plan. Unions, supply management, the moonshot and WWII are all present. And jobs. Lots of jobs.
Nico Rosberg, 2016 Formula One champion, and huge fan of electric vehicles (EVs), has offered to pilot the Tesla Model S that Tesla is sending to the Nürburgring Nordschleife. Elon Musk has accepted the offer. This is a perfect fit for EV publicity and advocacy.
