It’s been a while since InnerSpace has revisited the topic of Tesla, which though not directly space related is still very significant for multiple reasons. Yesterday, Tesla released a new 100 KWH battery pack for the Model S and Model X, which among other things takes the range of the Model S over 300 miles, […]
In an interview in The Verge, the world’s most famous astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson threw some serious shade on SpaceX’s Red Planet ambitions. ” The delusion that relates to private spaceflight isn’t really what you’re describing. They’re big dreams, and I don’t have any problems with people dreaming. Mars One, let them dream. That’s not […]
Image Credit: Tesla Motors Last week, Tesla Motors unveiled its new “non automotive” product line, and as anyone who has been following the company already knew, it was a home battery pack, named Powerwall. If you have not yet seen the 18 minute event, there are far less productive ways to start your week. Innerspace […]
The Motley Fool seemingly issues a story about Tesla Motors every six hours, and who can blame them. Tesla is one of the most fascinating corporate stories ever, even without the tie to SpaceX. Nevertheless, the two have been linked heavily this week in the disputed story regarding SpaceX financing. As Tesla’s stock continues to […]
Last week, what many think of as Elon Musk’d third company, Solar City, announced that it was purchasing Silevo, a comparatively small manufacturer of solar panels. For Solar City, whose business is built on installing and often leasing solar power systems, not manufacturing them, the decision marks a change in strategy. The reason […]
In a media driven culture, major shifts in national policy can sometimes be traced to the point at which key opinion makers change their minds on a given subject. For example, it is often said that Walter Cronkite’s coverage of the Tet Offensive in the Vietnam War was the deciding factor in shaping how the […]
Tesla continues to do to the rest of the automotive world what SpaceX is doing to the aerospace industry; make us all wonder if everyone has just been dialing it in for far too long now. Adding to its growing list of accomplishments, the Tesla Model S has been named the Consumer Reports Best Overall […]
Innerspace.net regularly reports on the phenomenon of Tesla Motors for two reasons. The first, and most obvious is the connection between Tesla and SpaceX in Elon Musk. Given the SpaceX founder’s role in both companies, it is impossible for the fortunes of one not to influence the fate of another. With Tesla already a publicly […]
Following a frustrating fall in which failed Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney repeatedly and inaccurately lumped Tesla Motors in with bankrupt solar panel manufacturer Solyndra, Elon Musk’s groundbreaking Model S has been given one of the most coveted awards in the automotive industry, Motor Trends’s Car of the Year Award. This marks the first time the […]
It hardly comes as a surprise that the issue of space exploration was not mentioned in the first U.S. Presidential debate on Wednesday evening, and after the dismissive treatment it was given in a prior Republican debate, that might not be a bad thing. The closest approach was probably Mitt Romney’s mention of Tesla Motors, incorrectly lumped in with Solyndra and Fisker as “loser” examples of […]
