Proof, if any is needed, that Freddy is either disengenous or else hasn't got a clue. He claims the Kansas battery factory is not ramping due to lack of demand, when it will in fact be supporting the Tesla Semi which will be ramping next year. electrek.co/2025/07/11/pan…
About Me I’m writing this after receiving a particularly nasty DM from an X user who made some mean, ridiculous, and incorrect assumptions about me— especially regarding my positive posts on Tesla. I don’t know what motivated him, but I do know what motivates me. 1. I’m a Tesla…
Those were produced at very low volume on the pilot production line. When ramped up on the high-volume line at 50k units per year the price will come down. The cost to society is cleaner air and less respiratory disease.
Logistics are the canary in the coal mine.
US trucking volumes are down 14% YoY. The diversion in the direction freight market started in earnest around early February, around the start of some of the chaotic messaging around tariffs began.
Only 6 months ago I was paying $12.99 for this same product. If people want to know how tariffs are generating tax money, here's how.
It's bizarre, there's no hate for anything other than an unnecessary label, we don't hate people, we hate when people force things on people, like the word Cis which sounds like sissy, a slur on effeminate men. It may mean, 'same side' in Latin but it's also a slur in English
Austin, Texas. (MAY.25.2025) All the passengers can do is laugh as they are stranded by a lost Waymo that can’t figure out a construction zone. Nothing to see here. 🙈 @RealDanODowd @GerberKawasaki @ValueAnalyst1 @fredlambert @BradMunchen @PolitiReality @ShortingIsFun
NEWS: Neoen is proposing to build the largest battery energy storage facility in the world, a MASSIVE 3.2GWh battery facility next to a 1.2 gigawatt wind farm in Australia with 149 wind turbines. @Tesla is a strong contender to win this battery contract as Neoen has used the…
This is what is driving exponential growth in Tesla’s Powerwall and Megapack prosuction.
People have the wrong impression about virtual power plants (VPPs). VPPs don't just aggregate small resources to virtually recreate a power plant or make something that's "virtually" as good as a power plant. VPPs are way cooler than that. Centralized power plants rely on…
🇺🇸 STARLINK'S TESTING ON US MILITARY AIRCRAFT, DEVELOPMENT OF STARSHIELD As soon as the first Starlink satellites went into orbit in May 2019, SpaceX received a $28 million contract from the United States Air Force (USAF). Under its terms, the company was to test stable…

A sobering message from a history teacher: I’ve spent years teaching both American and international government. We study the full spectrum of systems: from well-established democracies like the UK, to hybrid regimes like Mexico and Nigeria, to authoritarian states like russia,…
1/ Russian Railways is facing a worsening crisis. 300,000 disused railway wagons are congesting the network, entire freight trains have been abandoned for months, there are critical shortages of locomotives and workers, and a major drop in loading across the network. ⬇️
I admit, this wasn't on my Bingo card. This factory will likely support the Lathrop Megapack factory.
Nearing completion of our first LFP cell manufacturing factory in North America
Tesla Giga Semi Breaking News! For real! A watershed event! At-least 20 GROB Systems large crates were staged down the street from Giga Semi and I saw this one heading towards the Tesla semi high-volume factory. Fitting-out of the assembly lines has begun! Per GROK, Grob…
I’ll post this again as I threw it into the wild at ridiculous o’clock last night. In relation to the bunny drama, I’ve edited & re-subtitled the first couple of mins of this animated short, just for fun, now known as: Terf Bunny One. If people want the rest, I’ll finish it 🙂
