Main Paineframe posted:A Falcon 9 launch to LEO costs $70 million There's so much more to this than assumed, like we'd have to build 160 more launch pads, and somehow build thousands of new Raptor engines for starship, all while the industrial base for all the superalloys and aerospace-grade is strained to the breaking point right now with the "new space race" on. We'd need to build hundreds of new foundries, machine shops etc. Also the existing pool of aerospace qualified technicians (most of whom were trained by the military) is already pretty much dry, with anyone with the necessary experience can walk from big aerospace firm to big aerospace firm with impunity. We'd need to build dozens of tech schools. Also we don't have enough mech/aerospace/chem-e's willing to work under the horrible conditions SpaceX demands, so you need to induce thousands of kids to get engineering degrees to go into this sector. Not to even mention the infrastructure to produce enough LOx and fuel to fuel those rockets, the effect that much fuel would have on gas prices worldwide. We'd need to mine more nickel, more cobalt, more copper etc. It would take a national effort far exceeding that of the Apollo program, there is absolutely no way for weird penis Musk to achieve it alone, world's richest man or not. We could probably do it with the full will and backing of the American public, but that's not fuckin' happening.

SuddenCactus posted:Doesn't Russia also have the rare earth minerals needed for teslas? Not really no? Cobalt is mostly from the DRC, Lithium mostly from Bolivia (this has its own issues). The only mineral that can only really be found in Russia, to my knowledge, is Titanium, which Teslas don't use any significant amount of. You may be thinking of Neon, which is crucial to the fabrication of chips used to make just about every car, Ukraine basically has a global monopoly on that, and the war has hurt supply.

QuarkJets posted:The concept itself is pretty dystopian when you look past the beautiful investor-ready graphic renderings. Certain elements of it are not, but at the end of the day you have this huge vertical structure where the rich live in the fun upper levels and a servant class lives and toils in the sunless lower levels. This is dystopian cyberpunk 101 tier stuff. It's great that it's designed for public transport but it seems like it'd be a nightmare actually living there as someone who's not already mega-rich They're also displacing a ton of folks (20,000) indigenous to the region, which of course that part's well underway. There's also this, lol. Wikipedia posted:Also, the scope of the projects based on the crown prince's vision incorporates some technologies that do not even exist, like flying cars, robot maids, dinosaur robots, and a giant artificial moon.[65] Kind of a shame there's some really cool, and actually achievable stuff in there, but that'll get overshadowed by the financial disaster and humans rights violations.

I like comparing 'ol Musky with Bezos, they're both evil incarnate billionaires, but Bezos just chills out at his giant ranch, working out with his personal trainer, and watching his cock rocket launches. He's on the BoD for his companies but is essentially retired. His social media team takes care of all his socials. But baby boy Musk can't put his goddamn phone down, and is furiously replying to no name dupshits on the internet and flying to Qatar because he lost literally all his liquid money, instead of living a life of luxury few could imagine.

CommieGIR posted:I know a few Tesla and SpaceX ex-employees and yeah, confirmed that while there was some brilliant work going on, it chewed you to ribbons and burned people out, and if Musk was ever going to be around you were directly told to stay away from him as far away as possible and let your manager deal with him. From way back but whatever, this sort of personnel management is dumb as gently caress, not only do you have constant brain-drain from high turnover, but working people insane hours is counter-productive. My company just learned that lesson when we went from 12-14 hour surge shifts back to the normal 10, basically every hour we gained off labor, we lost an hour to exhausted people loving up and having to do rework to fix it. SpaceX is eventually going to earn a well deserved reputation for being a toxic shithole to work at, and they're going to stop getting tons of brilliant young engineers willing to work themselves to death for penis on the dollar of what they're worth.

FirstnameLastname posted:afaik the reason the battery lifespan dropped in lotta EVs was to improve recycleability and make cheaper batteries since people don't keep cars long when they've got nice car money (must b nice, nice car...) You're probably thinking of low cobalt batteries. Either way EV batteries last a lot longer than 3 years, modern ones have a lifespan of around 200,000-300,000 miles, and not a lot of people keep ICE cars around for that long either.

waffle iron posted:Lots of folks think Tesla's battery pack assembly factory is a lithium battery factory. And Tesla and Elon make sure to coast on that misconception. What? Gigafactory's battery manufacturing line is a joint venture between Panasonic and Tesla, they developed and build a brand-new form factor of cell for the packs that are now used, and GF produces all the cells for Tesla's built outside of China as far as I've heard from everyone ever but you.

Tiny Timbs posted:like did he make the tunnel in a cool and really fast way No. Data Graham posted:using the cut-and-cover method, the Manhattan subway system was built in 4 years and completed in 1904 The NYC 2nd Ave subway extension was built recently using a tunnel boring machine, and was made at almost exactly the same average speed. Because Boring company just uses commercially available boring machines and doesn't have any new technology whatsoever. They did make the LV tunnel for super-ultra-cheap, but that's probably more to do with lighting capital on fire for a "proof of concept" than actual cost of the project.

hazardousmouse posted:this just raises a question for me: are there geofenced areas teslas aren't allowed to autodrive in? Like military bases? Just sort of internally comparing it to hobby drones. I doubt it, there's no restrictions on letting your Tesla drive itself on any military base I've been on, the real secure stuff you can't drive your own car around on anyways. It's inserting though, pretty soon the government's going to have to start ordering cars specifically without driver assist cameras or cell connectivity to drive around that sort of place.

I dug this up from another thread, but here's some old-school Elon dipshittery from 2018.Wikipedia posted:In June 2018, Elon Musk revealed a potential feature called "SpaceX option package" for the Roadster.[26] This would add around ten cold gas thrusters to the car to improve maneuverability; it would comprise an electric pump to recharge an air tank used to provide compressed air flowing through propelling nozzles to generate a cold jet thrust. The air tanks, based on "composite overwrapped pressure vessel" (COPV) also used in the Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy rockets, would replace the back seats. The thrusters would be used to improve cornering, acceleration, top speed, and braking.[27][28][29] Working pressure would be 10,000 psi (700 bar).[30]
