Electric vehicles are gaining in popularity, but not everyone is on board. One of the big perceived drawbacks is how long it takes to charge them and having access to somewhere you can plug in to get that charge. If you live in an apartment building or the city, charging
Imagine traveling inside a levitating capsule within a vacuum tube while going 200 mph faster than a 747, powered by renewable energy. Could Elon Musk and The Boring Company be digging cost efficient tunnels to lay the groundwork for a system like that? Let’s explore the Hyperloop, where things
Imagine a world where blindness and deafness can be reversed. Or never forgetting a name, face, or date. Being able to augment the brainpower we're born with to offload memories and correct human maladies. That's what Elon Musk and the team at Neuralink are setting out to do, but is it the future of
What you need to know before getting a Tesla Powerwall (first impressions and early review). There’s a few things I learned going through the installation process that might be useful if you’re thinking about getting a home battery installed. So let’s go through what you should know before getting a
Tesla made a huge splash in the solar panel world when they unveiled the latest version of the Tesla Solar Roof. But since then we haven't seen too much about it. Is it a bargain or a bust?

When Kevin Song lent me his Porsche Taycan to review, one the negatives he pointed out was the charging network. So I thought I'd take a closer look at how electric vehicle DC fast charging is stacking up against something like the ubiquitous Tesla Supercharger network. And how are things looking fo
Tesla opened a fire hose of engineering, manufacturing, and battery advancements in their Battery Day event. Not to mention the new Plaid Model S and a future $25,000 electric vehicle. But I think we can break the jam-packed event down into three big takeaways. And it's really not about batteries.
Exploring Tesla Powerwall and home batteries - worth it? I just got a Tesla Powerwall ... well, more like I've got a Tesla Powerwall ready to be installed. But with home batteries like this being so expensive, why would anyone want one? It goes beyond a simple "return on investment" discussion. In f
Let’s talk about some hints that Tesla dropped in the last quarterly call around cell production, scaling manufacturing, and EV range expectations. And how Tesla is pulling something from Apple’s playbook.
In Tesla’s Q2 earnings call Elon Musk dropped the little bombshell that Tesla's solar panels cost $1.49 per watt after incentives. I found that it can be even lower than that. This is a huge step forward for the price of solar power. Why? Let’s get into it.
Why is SpaceX making Starlink? If you’re watching this video, that means you have an internet connection, although you may live in an area with limited providers or network speeds. Still having internet accessibility can improve everything from entertainment, to work, to education, and health care.
