Towards the end of his visit to Germany Tesla Founder ElonMusk also visited with the competition

He landed in his jet on Thursday evening at Braunschweig

There he met with VW Chief Herbert Diess in reception who had also brought the ID.3 and ID.4 with him
This week billionaire and Tesla founder Elon Musk caused quite a stir with his visit to Germany

Among other things, Musk met with representatives of the German government and also visited the site of the new Tesla plant in Brandenburg
These parts of the trip were reported extensively and with great media impact

However, a detour on Thursday evening shortly before the Tesla boss started his journey home remained largely unknown
Because just when everyone thought Elon Musk was on his private jet heading home, he made a stopover at Braunschweig airport

Around 21.45 hours the Tesla-Maker's jet landed on the runway

He was received by Herbert Diess and others
Volkswagen does not officially confirm the meeting, but according to reliable information from the Wolfsburger Allgemeine Zeitung, Musk and Diess spent around two hours together at the airport
During this time they had an intensive exchange of views on the topics of electric mobility and the digitalisation of the car industry
Diess had an ID.3 in his luggage and Musk took the opportunity to test drive the new Volkswagen vehicle on the airport runway

It will be delivered to customers for the first time in September
The Tesla founder was also able to take a look at the electric SUV ID.4 which will soon celebrate its world premiere

@Goldfiinger77 We had better start at the highest level

The world consumes 534,000 PetaJoules PJ of Energy every year

Let us assume this eventually converts to being all supplied by Electricity

In a waste-free world this shows we need 210,000 PJ of Energy to accomplish the required Work Image
@Goldfiinger77 Most of the existing Wasted Energy comes from using Fossil Fuels

So as we replace these sources with Renewable Energy the Waste will go down

So :

- let us assume real demand growth to 300,000 PJ

- and medium-term continued Waste of 100,000 PJ down from 290,000 PJ
@Goldfiinger77 This gives us annual Energy Usage of 400,000 PJ

400,000 PJ = 111.1 x 10^15 Wh = 111, 100 TWh per year

This averages out to 304 TWh per day

This chart shows peak production of Storage Batteries at around 3,500 GWh per year = 3.5 TWh per year Image

@mgereb @ajtourville So let me start by saying that my frame of reference is the human driver

And we need to respect three things about this human driver :
@mgereb @ajtourville 1. We see that human driver moving around in time T within a 3D physical space with fixed reference points like road, lamp posts, buildings

- so the classic visualization of this is like a time-based video game with the vehicle shown inside a 3D map of its surroundings
@mgereb @ajtourville 2. But actually the driver is in an Einstein relativistic space where he sees everything relative to his own continuously moving position

- he is the only fixed object and everything else is moving relative to him with complex vectors
