After 25 days on station, successful return and splashdown.
This interview should be mandatory viewing material for all school children ages 10 and up. I can't think of a more engaging and exciting way to push the science and especially the physics curriculum than to watch and listen to someone who has achieved great success with it. Bravo, Elon!
Great interview!
This reminds me of the first episode of Twin Peaks from 1989...or was it 1990? But in reverse...
Elon mentioned about swapping pack capacities/energies and that the battery management computer is in the pack. This is exactly how my Ford Ranger EV is. The initial lead acid battery packs and the NiMH packs were diffrent inside, but the interface the the vehicle was the same. The pack just repored back the SOC and controlled the charger etc, where the computer in the battery pack knew about the capacity and chemistry. This sounds like exacty what Tesla is doing with the Model S, in that the pack knows it is a 85KW, 60KW, 40KW etc then reports that to the car as soon as the pack is plugged in. This makes the most sense from a standards, development and manufacturing aspect and leaves maximum flexability for future service, upgrade and technology advancements.

The video is from the Tesla store. He was at the ambassador's mansion at a reception before he gave the talk at the store.

thanks for the play by play Adm and doug!
0.2%/day charge loss in sleep mode when installed later on, but before first European deliveries.
Awesome... George gave a TMC shout out!
Elon says in principle it will be possible to swap out battery packs in the Model S with a future better pack. However, Tesla has made specific statements not promising that. You could see GeorgeB getting a bit uncomfortable at that point.
A least 4 Superchargers in Norway, perhaps more.
European Model is will have 3 phase charging... The charging connector will be Mennekes Type-2, but also will have a CHAdeMO adapter. AWD Model S is not coming soon.
Lots of love for Norway. Free supercharging for life. First superchargers and Model S deliveries in Europe.
Elon Musk@elonmusk Pods 1 and 4 now online and thrusters engaged. Dragon transitioned from free drift to active control. Yes!!

Elon Musk @elonmusk Solar array deployment successful
Looks like SpaceX is making it work. elonmusk Thruster pod 3 tank pressure trending positive. Preparing to deploy solar arrays.
