Yeah, that is what I said in the original post, genius.

If it was five times the energy density, then that would give you five times the range. That would be a battery with around 1,250 Wh/kg. If that was announced, Tesla stock would be would have skyrocketed. No, the energy increased is because of the size increase. The energy density decreases...

Dude, are you completely unfamiliar with the Tesla Semi????? They are using a battery in the 1MWh range already. It already exists.

But then why do they say the 4680 has 5X the energy when it is 5.75 larger in volume. The energy density is slightly lower than the 2170 cells. That 54% increase is likely not from the 4680 cells, but rather their goal to reach eventually.

It is just a bigger Cell. It makes it cheaper to produce. At the pack level, there might be some increase in energy density, but it isn’t 56%.

I heard they are going to announce that Trevor Milton is coming to Tesla and is taking over as CEO. That is why he left Nikola. Trevor told me himself. ;)

A refrigerated trailer most often has a diesel ran refrigerator. But I have looked into building a tinyhouse on wheels, and I could get that under 7,000 pounds including the trailer. Composite insulated panels are very light weight and have excellent insulation qualities. I also looked into...

Maybe you should just get off My eyes can't roll enough at this.

If you are talking about an ENERGY storage, you don't need to say MWh. The h is implied.

That is the size of the battery they are already using, dude.

What??? You do need a MW if the RV is an electric vehicle. That is how you would get a range similar gas or diesel RVs.

My limit would be about $300K. But it would have to have enough solar to at least maintain the battery level so AC or heat isn't running the battery down. But that wouldn't be hard. A well insulted RV could easily get away with a 500W air conditioner. Oh, and it needs a composting toilet. I...

Anyone else in love with the idea of an electric RV based on the semi? With a 1MW battery pack, it should get over 700 miles. If the aerodynamics to the rear were improved, it could get as high as 1,000 miles. Expanding solar panels could yield 10kw which if you stored 8kw, you could recharge...

I think they will do that anyway because the new batteries won't have the power density for the cars, but will for the CT and Semi. I think the roadster will need to stay with the higher power density & energy density cells.

No tweets from Trevor in 4 days. I scrolled down his twitter feed and couldn't find a gap that big ever.

To which density are you referring?

I would think its size would suggest they are going to make larger packs with lower power density, because a larger cell would be harder to cool. If the cell volumetric energy density isn't higher, the pack energy density is going to be lower because of the increase in space between the...

Nothing illegal about recording a phone call.

Look at how many companies got on board with Theranos. Look at who comprised the board.

I was talking to Trevor about working for him, but too many things he said didn't make any sense, so I just bowed out. You know how Steve jobs said "It doesn't make sense to hire smart people and tell them what to do; we hire smart people so they can tell us what to do"? Well, Trevor is so...
