Elon Musk Beat Up Texas For Hyperloop Project Test Site

January 17, 2015 By Carol Harper

Hyperloop-Project-Test-Site

Tesla’s and SpaceX’s CEO, Elon Musk is all set for great deeds. One of his beloved pet-ventures, the tube high-speed transport system is going to be made real. Indeed, Musk declared on Thursday that the Hyperloop Project test site will probably be situated in Texas.

The tech expert accepts that the Lone Star State has approached as one of the leading contenders for his venture, which will permit organizations and students to test out different transport pod designs. At the Texas Transportation Forum, Musk declared that this forthcoming venture will involve an approx 5-mile-long testing track.

It didn’t come as a shock that Musk would consider Texas as the most likely contender, particularly since the state already houses one SpaceX rocket plant, situated close to Waco. Also, Musk is involved in the development of a rocket launch station close to Brownsville, Texas.

Approved, Hyperloop is most likely going to require a few years to become reality. However, if the task is fruitful, it may herald an age of hyper-speed transport, with travelers being able to move from San Francisco to Los Angeles (400-miles distance) in approx 30-minutes.

There are numerous supporters of such technology. Essentially, travelers would go inside tubes speeding at hundreds of miles/hour towards their destination. Also, apart from the clear time advantage that such a technology could give, feasibility is another feature that supporters of the thought point to. As per specialists, such a venture would wind up being far less expensive than any high-speed train.

Such a Hyperloop framework would function as pneumatic tubes utilized in newspapers or brokerage houses did. Fundamentally, records or essential papers would be put inside plastic tubes uniting different parts of a building. They would just be pushed from one room to another by utilization of air power. Such low-pressure tubes would permit travelers to go at speeds of up to 760 miles/hour.

Musk has more than once talked about his enthusiasm for the technology. His excitement has really sparked the thought of an annual pod racing contest, where students would contend with their designs.

As per Musk, the traveler pods and tube system linking San Francisco to Los Angeles would attain an expected cost of $6 billion.

Elon Musk’s Next Venture: ‘Hyperloop’ Test Track In Texas

January 16, 2015 By Denise Ehrlich

Elon Musk is a busy man: Tesla lately disclosed the all-wheel-drive Model S with auto pilot, SpaceX just crash-landed its Falcon 9 rocket, and the billionaire this week affirmed more plans for an excursion to Mars.

So its not astonishing that Musk’s plans for a $6 billion Hyperloop giving high speed journey between US cities has been put on the backburner.

Until Thursday, that is, when the entrepreneur tweeted about a Hyperloop test track “for organizations and student groups to test out their pods.” The course will probably be developed in Texas.

“Also, considering of having an annual student Hyperloop pod racer contest, akin to Formula SAE,” Musk said.

The Hyperloop stood out as truly newsworthy in August, when Musk depicted a framework whereby travelers would be transported at top velocities through tubes developed above or beneath the ground.

Preferably, this Hyperloop could move 840 travelers every hour and connect cities less than 900 miles apart — San Francisco to Los Angeles, maybe; or loops between Boston, New York, Philadelphia, and Washington, DC. It would most likely cost about $1.35 million every traveler capsule, or $6 billion altogether, Musk said a year ago.

While Hyperloop features are worked out, in the meantime, Musk is turning his attention to artificial intelligence.

The Tesla and SpaceX’s founder has given $10 million to the Future of Life Institute to run a worldwide AI research agenda, supported by a long rundown of driving AI examiners, including the leader of Facebook’s AI Laboratory, Google scientists, and IBM Watson Group representatives.

The program will be managed by the non-profit Future of Life Institute; research will be carried out all over the globe, with trusts of awarding funds to AI analysts and related research including economics, law, ethic, and policy.

The moves comes after Musk said in October that artificial intelligence is “calling the devil.”

“I’m progressively prone to think there must be some administrative oversight, possibly at the national and global level,” Musk said amid the MIT Aeronautics and Astronautics Department’s 2014 Centennial Symposium. “Just to verify that we don’t do something extremely stupid.”

Tesla is designing a snake like robotic charger that will automatically connect to your car

December 31, 2014 By Carol Harper

Chief executive Tesla, Elon Musk said Wednesday that Tesla is working on a charger that can connect automatically to the car like a robotic snake.

The charger is compatible with model S and the coming future models. At the moment the company had not revealed any design and details of their project.

Elon Musk tweeted “Btw, we are actually working on a charger that automatically moves out from the wall & connects like a solid metal snake. For realz.”

Musk hint at the P85D event is predicting that the company is soon be doing something along these lines. So that means we are going to see a reptilian power charger in our garage soon.

Tesla claims that it can increase its Roadster’s mileage count to 400 with a single charge

December 28, 2014 By Denise Ehrlich

tesla-claims-roadsters-mileage

Tesla has stated that it has acquired the ability to update its first and now-discontinued model of the Roadster that was introduced way back in 2008 to drive 400 miles on a single charge. This is the longest operating range for Tesla’s 100 percent electric vehicles. But there is a downside for the company as only about 2,500 vehicles were in existence that could receive the potential upgrade.

This long range feature has been made possible through combinations of innovation in battery technology along with improved aerodynamics and low friction tires. The company has stated that it will test drive a model from San Francisco to Los Angeles in order to demonstrate the new technology in the first quarter of 2015. Roadster owners would be able to make appointments so that they can receive the upgrade by spring. And the cost associated with the upgrade has not been quoted by the company as of now.

The original Roadster launched in 2008 was able to travel 245 miles on a single charge, whereas Tesla’s latest edition, the S can knock up 265 miles with a single charge. U.S drivers on average drove about 30 miles a day according to study release by the U.S Government.

Tesla has not yet revealed the actual range of their upcoming Model X which would essentially be more affordable than the current Model S, which starts at $71,070 before incentives. The company also made it clear that no updates to the Model S are planned in the near future.

This move has although limited scope in terms of application but can be hailed as a reward for the company’s earliest customers along with believing in the concept of future all electric vehicles.

Understanding the Possibility of Tesla Surpassing GM Company

September 4, 2014 By June Harris

Both Tesla and GM companies are in the same industry – the car industry. However, both are currently on different levels. As what people usually say, Tesla is not yet on par with GM. GM has a market capitalization of $55 million while Tesla only has a market capitalization of $35 million. This just clearly proves that the two companies are on different phases. However, it is not impossible for Tesla to compete or even go above GM in the future.

Understanding the Possibility of Tesla Surpassing GM CompanyTesla has all the possibility to surpass GM simply because the shares of Tesla are continuously surging while the shares of GM are currently losing. The reason for GM’s share woe is the recalls. The impact of these recalls on GM’s earnings will still continue to effect.

The only thing that might stop Tesla’s shares from advancing and surpassing GM’s shares is the tight competition of electric car in the market. Almost, if not all, big car manufacturers are at a stage of producing all-electric car. Within a few years from now, it is expected that the availability of all-electric cars, which is the forte of Tesla, will be widespread. This will definitely reduce the market share of Tesla in the industry.
