Just been fined $20M and nearly kicked out of Tesla.
The truth is I bought in at $260
Hope you sold at 380
Him stepping down will help Tesla (in the long term) not hurt it and give him more time to be the dreamer that he is and come up with more cool ideas and after the time off I think he will be a better CEO, maybe stay off twitter
What you've described is how the Chevy Volt works, except it uses gas instead of diesel. The catch is that running an gas engine to turn a generator to charge a battery to power an electric motor to turn the wheels is less efficient than just having the gas engine turn the wheels directly. And so the traditional hybrids with CVTs are still more efficient.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aNi17YLnZpg

Lastly, here’s what I don’t understand about Tesla (or any of the other car manufactures), why don’t they put a small diesel engine in the car to charge the batteries? You could put a small generator, about the size of a lawnmower engine, tune it so that it runs ultra-efficient at one speed (which is all you need to do when it’s a generator) and get what would be the equivalent of 150 to 200 MPG (easily). How about a Tesla Model S that never needed to be plugged in and runs the generator so efficiently that it comes close to zero emissions?
Still federally illegal.
