Toothy has for real destroyed despacito by an even wider margin than he imagined he destroyed politics posters.

did you learn english from an eminem album?

we are discussing the future, which hasn't happened yet, and when it does the outcome will be just one manifestation of many probability streams

There have been many discussions you've been involved in just in the last couple of hundred posts about the present and the past, and the tooth pantsed you and spanked you like a child.

And I ****ing hate that guy with a passion.

So maybe stop and ponder that before continuing to embarrass yourself.

Is descapito TS's sockpuppet account? I can't imagine anything more satisfying for TS than giving a week-long public pounding to someone demonstrably dumber than himself, and then here comes along desperado...

Disagreeing with a consensus pov does not make someone dumb and mocking someone for doing that is mean and shallow.

Why don't you contribute to the topic rather than fueling immature rivalries?

Speaking of public poundings: Tesla vs legacy car manufacturers.

Tesla has opened a massive next-generation electric vehicle charging station in Las Vegas that combines the company’s core products into one sustainable energy ecosystem, fulfilling a vision CEO Elon Musk laid out nearly three years ago.

The new V3 Supercharger, which supports a peak rate of up to 250 kilowatts, is designed to dramatically cut charging times for its electric vehicles. Tesla unveiled its first V3 Supercharger in March at its Fremont, Calif. factory. A second V3 Supercharger is located in Hawthorne, Calif., near the Tesla Design Studio. Both of these locations, which were initially used as test sites, lack two key Tesla products.

This new location in Las Vegas is considered the first V3 Supercharger. It’s notable, and not just because of the size — there are 39 total chargers in all. This V3 Supercharger also uses Tesla solar panels and its Powerpack batteries to generate and store the power needed to operate the chargers. The result is a complete system that generates its own energy and passes it along to thousands of Tesla vehicles.

Gazpacho,


I did read the article. It failed to mention how this charging station operates with no sun.

I see. It has batteries (power walls) which store electricity. I'd guess they are grid connected too but idk.

Also, on average, there are 294 sunny days per year in Las Vegas.

Viva Las Vegas. And viva solar power. Yippee.

Do you believe that charging station is self contained and powered entirely by solar?

Tech Crunch basically says that, but TC is not 100% reliable, so IDK (as I said in my last post).

Regardless, a step in the right direction.

Putting solar panels and batteries on top of that charging station is pure gimmick. Those solar panels couldn't possibly begin to produce enough power to charge 1500 cars per day.

lol

Nice backpedaling with your ninja edits, but you still don't get it.

True, but it's your arguments that make you look dumb.

Is suggesting that somebody learned their English from Eminem also mean and shallow?

arguably yes but in context you were calling me stupid whilst butchering the english language. it bothers me that you're smoking too much weed and doing nothing with your life. get it together man.

You might want to learn grammar and punctuation before casting more stones, clown.

I'll stop now since this is just deflecting and giving you cover to hide from your lies and misrepresentations.

Here's their lol promo video. Take note at the 0:07 mark. It has two solar arrays and one of them is completely shaded in the mid day sun. It's built under the Linq, the ferris wheel, and between tall buildings.

Definitely a step in the right direction!

LOL, can you please stop throwing me these hilarious softballs? My batting will get weak. You didn't take the physics lesson to heart it seems. Let me quote it for you:

Learn some basic physics before holding forth on stuff you're embarrassingly ignorant about. Musk relies on credulous cretins like you to get away with his lies.

Tesla superchargers pull 150 kW per car. Solar panels give you about 150W per square meter under optimal conditions (full overhead sun in the middle of the day in summer). For a typical five car supercharger, you need 5000 m^2 of panels to power the station. That's the area of an entire football field. And that's only for the middle of a day. You would need a massive expensive battery pack and probably triple that amount of panels (15,000 sq meters) to power a single normally busy supercharger overnight. The cost would be insane. And the inefficiency of installing all of that, adding a high voltage high amperage inverter, etc, would make it an environmental mess and far less desirable than simply using coal.
At a 20% capacity factor (which is the max of what this solar can do, less here because of the horrible siting), you'd need 8 football fields worth of solar panels sited in good conditions (full sun all day with rotating to catch the sun) to power this 39 car charger station at 20% capacity, plus a large expensive battery system. Where are the 8 football fields bro? I see about 1/4 of a football field covered in panels that are shaded, or 30x less than required (60x times less than required with the shading/lack of movement) to run this station at 20% capacity.

In short, you've been conned again. This things pulls its power from the grid and has a few worthless solar panels on the roof for show, to fool idiots. Why do you make it so easy for me?

P.S. If Musk really cared about the environment, he'd be putting up solar thermal plants in NV (which are the most efficient way to get solar), not wasting large sums of money adding some poorly sited panels and batteries for pure show.

P.P.S. Do you see why Musk wastes money and harms the environment to do net harmful stuff like put a few badly sited panels on the roof of his superchargers? So he can lie about it through his PR mouthpieces and morons think he's green/that Tesla cars use solar. It's well worth it for the PR, particularly when people can't do basic math, but it's worthless/net harmful for the environment.

Oh and it's not "impossible" to power superchargers with solar, it's just absurdly expensive and wasteful and pointless. You need to cover a football field of space for every 5 car spots at your charger (more if you account for cloudy days or god forbid snow), and given that chargers are usually sited near or in urban areas, this is a very stupid waste of desirable land and toxic solar panel materials to run them at half efficiency in poor siting. That's without adding the batteries. It's just dumb and environmentally harmful.

Musk either

a) Knows this and is lying about superchargers switching to site solar + battery and going off grid over time.
b) Is a very very stupid person.

There's not really a third option.

Just lol:



What a waste of perfectly good solar panels. All for a PR exercise.
