> Will these “guerilla solar” units that plug into a receptacle to back-feed get approved for use? They are approved at up to 600 Watts in Germany, and that will probably get incre…

This is fantastic. Would love to be able to have logarithmic y-axis!

When you define the market as electric vehicles instead of passenger vehicles. In Europe, the electric vehicle market is growing very fast. But all these EV sales come at the expen…

I think the only thing the market has going for it, is that everything else is worse. Interest rates are negative or near zero, so bonds have the risk of losing value as interest r…

Imagine how much simpler a commercial charging station is than a gas station. You already need electricity for a gas station, but you no longer need to send tanker trucks out to fi…

> Chevy shipped a few hundred more Bolts than Teslas one month In the US only (majority of Teslas sold oversees in October, as is always the case in the first month of each quarter…

For the US only. Tesla generally ships most cars oversees on the first month of the quarter and loads up in the US in the last month of each quarter.

Yes, I would have seriously considered the new Leaf, since it is about $5k cheaper than the Model 3. It would effectively cost $18k in Colorado vs $23k for the Model 3. It would be…

Tesla actively cools its batteries and chose a long lasting battery chemistry. The Leaf, does not cool the battery, and the early Leaf model had a really bad chemistry.

I wouldn't compare the Leaf, which has no thermal management system with a Bolt, which does. The Leafs are basically designed to degrade. Tesla's and Bolts are designed to last.

Well, you said this was a dangerous plan. The biggest danger is that you have to go back to work. If you continually only withdraw 4% of your nest egg (reducing your absolute withd…

Or god forbid, you work a little bit to supplement your nest egg during those 43 years.

It is interesting also to see financially independent people who are happy to rent, keeping their assets in more lucrative and flexible investments than the real estate they live i…

If you could drive into Florida and sell bottles of water for $5, people will do it. Same with gasoline. Price signals work.

I can write sort algorithms that are nlog(n) or n^2. Both pass functional tests. I can write code that reinvents the wheel, instead of using the solid library I've never heard of. …

All patents are open. Tesla offered to share them with other auto OEMs, if they sign up to agree to Tesla's terms.

Good video. They said costs could one day get down to $50 per MWh. We already have solar plants selling at around $30 per MWh, so that doesn't seem like it will be a major source, …

I was just thinking how well this correlates with the presidential election map.

"The difference is shippability"

The way they do all stock charts. Because otherwise CNBC would be really boring. OMG The meaningless Dow Jones Index jumped 0.25% !!!

After hours trading is often very different than the market the next day. Two percent in after market just means there won't be a very big jump tomorrow.

Exactly right. Coal mining as a job has declined much more than coal as fuel. It's just easier to blame regulations and outsourcing than to admit that people can't compete with mac…

Too geography dependent, and we will probably never build another large hydro project because of the environmental impacts.

Commercial and Residential solar are excluded. Those might add up to half a percent or so. The other 9.5% is probably due to energy efficiency.

Solar panels have a warranty for 25 or 30 years. Their output slowly deteriorates over time, but there are 50 year old panels that still work fine out there.
