From Musk’s twitter comment, it’s clear that any discussions relating to Autopilot features in a Tesla are somewhat premature. However it’s nice to dream of a time when you get into your electric powered car, pull out a book and get driven to work.
While Tesla in general would probably rather forget about Henrik Fisker, the company clearly feels that those driving the engineering at Aston Martin are prime candidates for the future of the company.
And here’s the official press release as well.
They were right, so we are fixing it and, moreover, upping the ante by providing the best resale value guarantee in the automotive industry.
- Elon Musk
Rather than digging their heels in, they’ve adjusted the prospective monthly payment value to include the buy back guarantee but exclude all the more contentious items included in the previous offering (avoiding the gas station, shortening your commute and the business tax, which are still available but opt-in).
Reminiscent in many ways to the early days of Apple and the Macworld conference, the inaugural Teslive conference (being held in San Jose, starting the 12th of July) will have a keynote by Musk. The conference is small with a limited attendance of 300 participants.
Great overview interview that touches on all the various industries that Musk is involved in, electric vehicles, space travel and solar energy.
The most exciting part of the interview was the section focused on reusable space rockets. The video in the interview shows the future SpaceX are striving for.
The latest video release by SpaceX earlier this week demonstrates the first piece of that puzzle and the work that they are carrying out to achieve this goal.
Handy list of all the previous conference calls (and media events), from as far back as August 2010. Although you can’t read any transcripts of the conference calls (you can listen to them). You have to register and it’s only available as a Flash audio player or a Windows Media player (what is this, 2004?).
The next conference call is scheduled for the 8th of May to discuss Tesla’s first quarterly results of 2013.
Tesla’s first promo video for the Model S, which focuses on the 17” Inch screen. Some great features that I didn’t know about (like controlling the suspension) - however I couldn’t help but notice is the lag when scrolling.
One of the more exciting aspects of the Electric Vehicle industry at the moment, is that there are many out there trying to building something, in places you wouldn’t expect. Rimac is the latest, hailing from Croatia.
