Tesla’s mission is simple and includes getting other automakers to join in the party. The Chevy Bolt, quirky as it may look, technically beat Tesla to market with a 200+ mile range EV that can be had for the $35,000 ballpark. Nissan, who I humbly believe to be the only other automaker currently taking full EVs seriously, has just announced their all new 2018 Leaf. The party is undoubtedly slow, but other automakers such as Volvo have at least talked about “electrification” (clever marketing shorthand for hybrids) but we can no longer deny that electric vehicles are here and their growth will not be able to be stopped. When looking at what we know about the Model 3 h…

The House passed a bipartisan driverless car bill Wednesday, paving the way for Tesla and other manufacturers to develop autonomous vehicles without having to hurdle substantial legislative barriers. The bill opens the playing field for companies to develop and test new driverless technology without having to answer to individual state legislators. In addition to relaxing laws on the implementation of the technology, the bill also grants car manufacturers with the ability to deploy up to 100,000 self-driving vehicles per year that don’t meet standard safety regulations. The first year will be capped at 25,000 autonomous cars. For Tesla, relaxed regulation means it has m…

SpaceX has conducted their 13th successful launch of 2017 after sending Boeing’s X-37B spaceplane into orbit. While the secretive nature of the Orbital Test Vehicle missions mean that live coverage ended after the first stage landed, this resulted in amazing live coverage of the landing, as is now routine. The X-37B in its SpaceX fairing. (Boeing) Following second stage separation and main engine cutoff, Falcon 9 1040 landed smoothly at the center of SpaceXÂ’s land-based landing pad just over 5 miles away from where it lifted off. The companyÂ’s focus will likely immediately switch to preparing the companyÂ’s many Cape Canaveral Air Force Station and Kennedy Space Cen…
