The judge didn't say Martin is not a founder. He didn't say Elon is not a founder. He just didn't address it. Nor is it clear that the law cares one way or the other. Alternating Current was an idea Nikola Tesla brought to both Thomas Edison and George Westinghouse. Edison screwed him, and...

Tesla Legal Fight: It's On No trial date has been set Updated 3:45 PM PDT, Wed, Jul 29, 2009 A judge is refusing to toss out a lawsuit by a founder of Tesla Motors that accuses the electric car maker and its chief executive of libel, slander and several other allegations. Martin...

What happened in court today?

Two Tesla crashes already out of a handful delivered. This will no doubt do a number on future insurance quotes for the vehicle. Just wait until these silent darts start hitting people.

What's weird is that in the latest blog Ze'ev made a big point about promoting Darryl (the two defendants in this lawsuit). This is becoming the twilight zone. So, David wasn't given any bad performance reviews, but Darryl and Ze'ez said it was about performance after the fact. My guess is that...

Martin has been on the NBC Today Show before. The CBS Early Show is the worst rated, so I doubt there will be a major reveal (unless that's all he could book).

"Tesla's Model S will be a fully electric, five passenger, multi-use sport sedan with a driving range of approximately 225 miles on one charge. The projected cost of the Model S is $60,000." They suggested the new plant would be in an Enterprise Zone. The zones are Siskiyou County, San Joaquin...

Delusions of grandeur.

So Darryl deleted Martin's links to the other sites, because he was worried about the "negative stuff" on them, then went ahead and posted the links again himself. Righto.

MDR, can you post it here perchance? Hi Darryl, I see you online. Welcome back. I feared that on May 7 you were signing out for good from here (per your vow). Can you maybe give us an update on the situation? What happened, and why was it going southbound in San Jose on the day it was...

Wow. Weird when X-CEOsWife made a sarcastic (?) remark on May 6 about Darryl making calls to ensure the car would be delivered "without a scratch." Maybe someone will make a movie out of this one day. Pirates of Silicon Valley 2. ps -- try this, Martin: https://www.sjpd.org/555app/

I guess the soup nazi strikes again. No soup for you! Can you clarify the date your car was crashed?

So, Martin. You're actually saying Musk would be narcissistic enough to get rid of the resident rock stars at Tesla so he could gain the spotlight? Siry said the firings were merely "about accountability... if you don't get the job done, there are consequences." That would suggest you, Wally...

I'm sorry if I offended anyone, especially the people who run this board. I'm a big fan of theonion.com, and it rubs off on me. Having said that, I'm not first person who expressed a point through satire on the internet and am pretty mild in comparison Call me jaded. :)

This was not intended to apply to anyone involved in this thread, but is food for thought when examining the big picture. By the way, please make use of the sarcastic smiley faces, insipid as the are.

Narcissistic Personality Disorder: A pervasive pattern of grandiosity (in fantasy or behavior), need for admiration, and lack of empathy, beginning by early adulthood and present in a variety of contexts, as indicated by five (or more) of the following: * Has a grandiose sense of...

They assumed coal as the source to represent a conservative, worst-case scenario.

My study calculated these values in detail: http://ohmexcited.googlepages.com/CO2.htm Using an average US coal plant, the Tesla would produce 54 pounds per 100 miles. A 2007 Corollo getting 36 mpg produces 67 pounds per 100 miles. A Prius produces 44. Fortunately, the US grid is not...

The Tesla website has the full audio of the town hall. Interesting "joke" from Elon at the beginning, expressing his dedication to completing a quality car: "I don't care what I have to do, who I have to kill...." You had to be there.

Give its ability to seamlessly use gasoline, diesel, vegetable oil, kerosene, jet fuel, etc, and the great efficiency at constant speed, a turbine would be great for a series hybrid, were it not for the fact that it sounds like a loud vacuum cleaner and might scorch the paint of the car behind it.

Michael, I'm not sure I understand your point correctly, but the calculations do take into account the production of the fuel. For example, only 80% of carbon emissions associated with burning gasoline comes from the tailpipe. The remaining 20% is accounted for considering extraction...
