  1. @filmcritic Also, the fact that you think that #Tesla fans aren't familiar with #Eberhard... I mean, where to even start? That's like saying, "#Apple fans don't know that there was this guy named #Wozniak...."

  4. @terihannigan @dominicvfx Also always left out of this story: #Eberhard was independently wealthy. He had just sold off his company NuvoMedia to Gemstar for $187M. Yet he put very little of his own money into the company; it was #Musk who risked everything he owned to save it, having to clean up Eberhard's mess.

    Literally, Eberhard was telling the board that the cars were going to cost a little over half what his actual numbers said they were going to cost.

  8. @terihannigan @dominicvfx Tesla did not "come from the work of #Eberhard and #Tarpenning". When #Musk and Eberhard/Tarpenning joined forces, (A) Musk was already working on exactly the same project, even with the same ACP powertrain (only on a Noble chassis), and (B) Tesla was a shell company with no tech of its own and not even the legal rights to its own name. And they did not "step down"; Eberhard was fired by the board (even his own appointee) for stringing them along on a pack of lies.

  12. CW: Elon Musk

    @demiguru @davetroy @Tnicholsmd And to be explicit, #Tesla wasn't "bought out". Tesla was a shell company. It had no tech to its name - it was all ACP's. It didn't even own the trademark to its own name. No money changed hands. And - key point - ***#Eberhard was independently wealthy***. He had recently sold his compan NuvoMedia to #Gemstar for $187M.

    @timowensby @hackerfactor @alexwinter Not "prototypes". Serial production at #GF1. First deliveries to #Pepsi.

    And my apologies if me adding actual facts to the conversation about the topic that you tagged is problematic for you.

  16. @nicolascinquini @rathantara Speaking of #RussianNazis, #Putin put this #Nazi (#Rogozin), a close friend, in charge of developing nuclear missiles (Roscosmos). Not "some random guy in Russia", *literally in charge of developing #NuclearMissiles*

    Thankfully, he's no longer in charge of that.

    Unfortunately, *he's now in charge of the Russian-occupied regions of #Ukraine*.

  18. @Timmy ... roof has great potential on new construction, I question its viability on retrofits, and the long scaleup opens up the path to competitors.

    But what I think the market HEAVILY undervalues is #GridScaleStorage.

    Right now, there is a quiet revolution going on in electricity grids: large battery facilities are killing the traditional grid services market, with far better economics - limited only by the extremely tight supply of grid-scale #batteries.

    * Obviously, colour (#jasper is just "any red #chalcedony", chalcedony being semiprecious #flint/#chert - that is, cryptocrystaline #quartz)

    * Availability in large sizes

    * #Conchoidal fracture

    * Brittle

    Obviously I can't do any more tests than that from here!

  27. @ross Play #KerbalSpaceProgram for a while, you'll get a much better understanding of the (very counterintuitive) nature of #OrbitalDynamics :)

    Oh, and how did they calculate things in the #1960s? While final trajectories were analyzed with (compute-intensive) #NBodySimulations, rough trajectories were created with "#PatchedConics", which basically sort of converts a trajectory into a #geometry problem.
