TESLA AS AN AI ROBOTICS COMPANY
We've been saying this for a long time but first time I see it published online. And interestingly written too!
@DrKnowItAll16 @CathieDWood @skorusARK @TashaARK @WholeMarsBlog @28delayslater @Kristennetten @stevenmarkryan seekingalpha.com/article/443491…
"Tesla benefits from a culture and ethos of what I would call “mad scientist thinking”: from the C-level to the interns, researchers and engineers are encouraged to explore ideas that sound crazy if they can convincingly argue for them on pure scientific and engineering grounds"

A WONDERFUL NIKOLA-TESLA RELATED STORY YOU NEVER HEARD 💜⚡️

My favorite professor during my undergraduate studies in Aerospace-Engineering was an extremely old Serbian gentleman who taught us 1st year Physics (Electricity).

He seemed a million years old. From another era.
1/ Image
2/
90% of the students enrolled to another professor - a young hotshot that wrote a textbook on the topic and taught how to pass the exam.

They said the oldtimer "wasted time telling stories".

My friend and I stayed with the old professor exactly for these stories. Image
3/
Example story:
One day he came to class wearing a sweater - pretty weird during springtime.

He stood with a mischievous smile on his face and told us since topic was static electricity, he came equipped for an experiment

He then rubbed film on his tummy, happy like a child Image

Clarifying on TABLESS 16850 -
1. As I said, it;s a moonshot, not saying it happened

2. In theory very doable. Simplified: make separator narrower + change capping machine

3. In practice, w. legacy machinery even making separator narrower could require replacing entire machine
2/
(narrower separator - so foil edges would stick out to be folded with cap)

4. The devil is in the details, and so is the god. It's an out-of-the-box idea, which should be checked.
- If requires major changes, drop it.
- If moderate changes - HUGE HUGE gains there
3/
5. "HUGE HUGE gains" are lower resistance (=more range, less cooling needed), plate cooling possible, faster charge and discharge, no tab-welding so faster production and less defected batteries

6. NOT suggesting changing size or going dry electrode. These require new line

TABLESS 18650s!!!

We all wonder how Plaid can do back to back crazy-acceleration runs without overheating, while still using 18650s bc Tesla wouldn't throw away exiting line when batt constrained.

So here's a moonshot. What if exiting line was modified for tabless?
1/
2/
Mostly, you'd just need different capping and slightly narrower separator (so edges stick out for folding)

This enables utilizing legacy line while lowering resistance - greater range, less heating problem, faster discharging and charging
3/
THEORETICALLY (1st principles) it could be possible to move to plate heating (like 4680 pack) and ditch legacy cooling passages. This would enable crazy range if you want, lighter and cheaper pack. Batteries could be structural to some extent.

$TSLA INVESTORS, TIME TO BUY MORE🤔
MINDBLOWING!

@elonmusk usually understates stock ("too high") so if he tweeted that ">0% CHANCE OF TESLA BECOMING BIGGEST COMPANY", that's big.

But maybe he said it just because >0% ALWAYS true, even for Lada?

I THINK NOT!

➡read on
1/2
2/2
I think he meant it as a VIABLE possibility (not like ">0% that Lada will be biggest") because when asked on time ELON THEN TWEETED AND DELETED:

"Maybe in a few months"

Largest in world in a few months!😯
Add 1+1 to THIS, and it'll blow YOUR mind!

THIS COULD BE HUGE!
Maybe reading too much into a deleted tweet, but possibly adding 1+1 results in >$2trillion!

Interesting tidbit-
Kevin o'Leary thinks in future we'll start checking location that coins were mined, and discriminate against those mined with non-renewable. He calls China-mined as toxic.
@CathieDWood sees no inflation, only GOOD deflation.

HELP NEEDED!
I need your help for a video I'm making.

Do you recall a movie scene (or music vid, cartoon etc) where ppl
turn light on and find something huge/surprising/frightening/important
OR see one thing and then something else big hidden behind it or in plain sight?
1/..
2/
My video is on a hot topic and shows something people didn't notice, probably bc other things drew their attention, so it's either I turn the light on this topic (and show what was in dark) or i show something people didn't see bc focused on something else.

..
3/
Any help would be appreciated so there will be a shoutout to anyone that helps.

Even if you don't find something, just ask clarification questions - i'll mention you (unless you ask not to) so please think for a moment whether you recall such a scene.
Thanks guys!
