Electric vehicles are awesome. Instant torque, no asphyxiating tailpipe pollution, and overall far lower emissions than combustion vehicles — even if you charge them up with electricity from a coal-fired power plant. However, this doesn’t mean they are beacons of sustainability. The...

Tesla’s ambition is to manufacture 1 million cars in Germany. The current production capacity of the Tesla Gigafactory near Berlin stands at 500,000 electric vehicles annually. The factory began series production approximately 16 months ago, starting with the delivery of the first Model Y in E...

Lukasz Krupski has had a hell of a year, all thanks to Tesla. Krupski initially loved Tesla; he even sustained severe burns to his hands when, as an employee of Tesla, he single-handedly stopped a fire at a Tesla delivery centre in Oslo, Norway. This heroism didn’t go unnoticed, as Elon tweete...

Henrik Fisker is a complex man to pin down. His career as an automotive designer is among the most impressive. He penned the Aston Martin DB9 and Vantage, BMW Z8, and the Tesla Model S. All of these were seminal designs that pushed the boundaries of the industry. His designs were regarded as a beaut...

Toyota was once the face of sustainable transport. Back in 2008, Leonardo DiCaprio used a hybrid Toyota Prius to arrive at the Oscars, shocking the entertainment world and making environmentalism just a bit cooler. But since then, they have massively lagged behind. They avoided the EV revo...

If you live in the US, you might not have heard of Citroën, let alone ever seen one. This wonderfully quirky French company has been at the forefront of the automotive world since its inception, thanks to its unique, unorthodox, and out-of-the-box mass-market designs like the brilliant 2CV. How...

EVs are an integral part of our transition to net-zero. But, for them to truly dominate the market, we need affordable EVs that charge fast, have long ranges and are attractive to buyers. Elon Musk’s Tesla has been spearheading this affordability push for well over a decade, and to many, they ...

What would Nikola Tesla say about Elon Musk? Would he, as one of the most genius scientists that ever walked on this planet, view Mr. Musk’s incredible business achievements in the same light as stock markets are viewing them? Would he be proud of the fact that Mr. Musk runs his family name fo...

My wife and I try to make smart financial decisions. We’ve been fortunate enough to invest in stock, and thus far have seen good results overall. We looked at Tesla for a while, but when the stock was over $2,000 a share it was out of our range. We had other things to worry about like IVF and ...

Central to the advancement in V12 is Tesla’s enhanced reliance on machine learning, particularly with the deployment of their advanced neural networks which are trained on expansive datasets of real-world driving scenarios. This shift from a more deterministic approach to one that is predomina...

They developed a system named Occupancy Tracker using C++. This system stitched up the curb detections from the images, that across camera scenes, camera boundaries, and over time. But this design has two problems: Problem1: The across-camera fusion and the tracker are very difficult to...

It’s been long since Tesla announced that it would start producing this class 8 semi-truck and time went by but the company has been very busy with its other products. Why a company that is so focused on ramping up its car business, that is so battery constrained, would spend so much effort...

I think Jason’s video is quite nice, but I wasn’t completely happy with his analysis. That means I’m just going to have to do it myself. For fun. Let’s start with a video analysis of the race from the Tesla video. Just as Jason does, I’m going to find the 1/8th mile ...

Online, people have been discussing the safety of the cybertruck. Of course it’s big and has a large mass. But some are also saying that the stainless steel body prevents it from having adequate crumple zones. Well, you know what that means — right? I need to build a rough model for a...
