If you go back through this thread you'd see that this type of comment has been made time and again. It takes 5-10 years to construct a reactor. That's after planning, environmental assessments, getting past the NIMBY's and government approval. Same goes for the transmission lines.

Those simple facts and some common sense tells me that there won't be a sufficient power supply available by 2035.

Can anyone think of a time when government has managed to do anything on time or on budget?

Yep, when they need to raise taxes, oh they are on it, every single time.

If that were strictly true, then there wouldn't be a national debt...

The national debt has nothing to do with taxes. Something tells me you knew that though.

How dangerous can you get Tesla?!

Look brother it’s obvious that Reuters just hates Tesla. I don’t think it’s anything more than that. A bunch of Teslaphobes. .

its driver error for being interested indriving and holding the steering wheel etc..
tesla has already disagreed with the nhtsa's findings before they come out...
an over the air update will be rolled out to to deploy air bag when steering detaches to maintain safety.

[M5Rick]

Tes steering wheels dropping off when driving.. a new one that didn't even have the nut fitted, so I gather they are not even test driven to see if they are roadworthy? Pays your money and go down to the delivery dock to collect it and could end up in the bay.

Objection sustained!

After many years of traditional M-cars I bought an i4 M50.
Yeah, I sometimes miss the bark of my beloved M4 and the i4 M50 is definitely not a proper M car.
But I haven't regret the move for a single day. Total running costs of the i4 M50 is about 60% of the M4. And the straight line acceleration is ridiculously fun. The car is always charged thanks to my wallbox on the driveway and I sure as hell don't miss pumping gas.
But I live in a small country, almost completely urban area driving with a dense charging infrastructure. I could't imagine owning an EV in large parts of the USA or Australia.

The synthetic fuel option having read into it may be a ray of hope
split H20 into hydrogen and oxygen
Mix hydrogen with co2 to make a cocktail
add some natural oils into it
And you have the efuel! (e-diesel or e petrol)
the energy to split H20 comes from solar power
the co2 is captured from the atmosphere
carbon neutral accounting done

But need constant sunshine for solar for H20 electrolysis so need to be somewhere else than Europe or UK!

Also the major downside is why go through all this hassle if the energy can be directly used to charge a battery!
So we need a mix of solutions hydrogen efuel battery and fossil fuel. But then the question is what are we achieving by undertaking all this effort and investment is it worth it financially of from an environment POV.. questions questions.

I think one reason to go through the hassle would be the ability to use synthetic fuel in the current distribution network (gas stations) without having to double the size of the existing infrastructure to deliver the needed electricity for charging.

Put simply to have this synthetic fuel next to normal gas pumps.

Remember when a Model 3 was delivered without brake pads?

I don't ever recall any other manufacturer having a similar incident.

Or mix it in at different percentages like ethanol or bio-diesel. I still think the costs will be prohibitive.

New housing developments, new commercial and industrial building won't overload grid capacity, but electric cars will?

Back in the 50s few people had AC. When central ac and window units starting being installed, and commercial buildings starting adding HVAV the grid kept up.

Arguing about the grid and EV impact on it seems dumb.

Bad Tesla service rearing it's ugly head, have not even got any parts available as with their belief that pads last 100k km, so shop is just full of excuses.
*This model production number can be traced back to the production line to catch the operative who was responsible for that particular assembly and I refer to my previous post that these cars are unlikely to have any road-worthiness tests after build.

I'm totally lost on what this synthetic gas would be like and I can only think of what they have in Brazil,alcohol made with extract from trees ?

I don't know about the Brazilian fuel, sounds like ethanol? Bio-fuels aren't sustainable though (rainforest=good), but sounds like synthetic cooooould be. The form of the energy inputs are the trick... how much of the US's southwestern desert will you need to cover with PV panels to do this?

We really need a Dyson sphere.
