Fremont, California-based Amprius technologies is the manufacturer of some of the highest energy density lithium-ion battery cells in the world. This was accomplished using their proprietary silicone nanowire anode technology that enables a step change improvement over the traditionally graphite-based lithium-ion cell chemistries. Higher energy density and volumetric density matters … [continued]
LYT is a cloud-based software platform using vehicle and machine learning technologies to solve the problem of traffic flow. You may remember my recent article on Elon Musk’s thoughts regarding the use of artificial intelligence to make traffic lights smarter. The problem is that massive amounts of time are wasted … [continued]

In March 2019, the Fremont Police Department began testing a Tesla Model S 85 that was customized for patrol operations. Testing ended one year later, and yesterday, the Fremont Police Department released the test results and emailed them over to CleanTechnica (and surely other media outlets).
It’s a dark and stormy night — well, here in Louisiana — and adventures abound! Well, the adventure I am talking about is one experienced by WholeMarsBlog’s Omar Qazi as he finds himself at Tesla’s 4860 cell production site at Kato and Page.
Tesla fans have zeroed in on a battery startup called Amprius. A number of clues indicate that it may be acquired by Tesla in the future, or that it at least plays a role in Tesla’s battery innovation and coming announcements at Tesla Battery Day. I’ll come back to the Tesla–Amprius connections in a minute. First, once I saw the name popping up, I recognized it and decided to check the CleanTechnica archives for it. Let’s start there.
As you may have read, Tesla reopened its Fremont factory yesterday. You may have even read that this was controversial.
Following that, Elon Musk sent an email to Tesla employees thanking them for their hard work in making Tesla successful.
Following the news from Elon Musk that Tesla will be filing a lawsuit against Alameda County’s unelected Interim Health Officer, who, seemingly against the wishes of the governor and president, believes that Tesla shouldn’t reopen until June first, Tesla owners and shareholders are speaking out against what they see as unfair treatment of Tesla by Alameda County.
For Tesla it’s all about vertical integration. Anything that doesn’t meet Tesla’s stringent quality standards, they bring in house.
