The biggest challenge faced by social media professionals entering an organization who is at the onset of social media integration will be confronting the popular misconception that "likes" on Facebook & followers on Twitter is the measure of social media success.
When social media first started to gain attention as a new business opportunity, it stands to reason that in absence of true measurement tools, the only number a business or organization could understand easily, and "measure" would be the number of followers, or fans.
Many organizations, due to lack of familiarity or understanding of social, are convinced that there is success in the numbers; that "likes" or followers equal reach, and that if they attain high subscription – whether it be on Twitter, Google Plus, or Facebook – that this will equal success.
Social business is still in the early stages, as new technology and strategy intertwine to find stronger measures of success on various levels – depending on the needs or focus of a campaign or brand – organizations have to either hire social media professionals that they will trust to use their expertise to guide a strategy beyond flat figures like "numbers of likes" OR invest in learning about social media themselves. To measure or judge success based on "likes" is simply indulging in ignorance at the cost of your organization.
The idea is about as sound as corralling 500 or 1000 people into a warehouse full of sealed boxes with your logo on them and thinking all of a sudden your sales are going to soar. Yes, you have 1000 people in a warehouse, but none of them know what they are doing there, none of them know why they are there, and they certainly aren't going to become your greatest supporters if you just leave them there with nothing to do. They've seen your logo, but they can't even understand the product or what you are selling.
What will they do? They will walk in (read: click like) poke around a little, wait to see if anything else is happening (read: "what's in it for me") and if they don't get some interaction, stimulation or feedback, well, they will then say goodbye.
What's left behind is the trace of a lost prospect. In the social media world, that's a "Like" or a "Follow" with nothing else connected to it. If you hire someone whose success is measured by the number of fans they can "corral" onto your fan page and nothing else, what you will essentially be doing is throwing your money out the window. I can not begin to tell you how many senior management people at well established reputable organizations have told me the story of how well they are doing in social media. When I ask them about it, they always cite the number of fans or followers they have. They are glowing with pride. Their limited knowledge on the subject has led them to believe that this is the measure of success. It's time for an awakening: This number means nothing. Unless you find a way to marry it with some engagement.
How many pages do you "like"? If I asked you right now to share with me the last page in your "Likes" that you actually visited, would you even be able to tell me? A "Like" on its own is useless – you need to keep that "fan" to coming back. In fact, if you know whats good for your organization you want to make things so interesting that your "fan" is going to come back again and again because you've given them something they value. Not only will they come back, but they will want to share, thereby growing your number of followers or fans for the right reasons.
At the #140 Conference Montreal, Stephanie Baron of Jezam Interactive, formerly of Leucan (An organization for children with cancer) shares two excellent examples that really demonstrate just how insignificant the number of likes becomes when you need action. In the video below, Stephanie covers two cases, one of which is the French Presidential Election of 2012, the other from The Aviva Community Fund Competition when she tried to move 15,000 fans into action to help children with cancer. What do you think were the results?
The French Election. In the 2012 presidential election, Nicolas Sarkozy had approx. 40,000 Likes going into the election. Francois Hollande had approx. 7,000. Did the number of "Likes" on Facebook indicate the true popularity of the candidates? It is clear that if the number of likes on Facebook indicated popularity, acceptance, or true fans, the French election would have surely turned out differently.
The Aviva Community Fund Competition – Leucan's Participation based on 15,000 Fans. With 15,000 Fans, the organization chose to focus on increasing likes rather than engagement. When the opportunity presented itself to participate in the Aviva Community Fund Competition, which awards help to community organizations based on the support generated via social media, Leucan was not able to move the 15000 fans to come up with the votes necessary to have a chance at the award. All they needed was a click a day from just a few hundred of their fans over two weeks, yet it was impossible for them to attain. The organizations that won the money from the competition had significantly less likes, but had fans who were willing to take action, rather than just "Like" and run. The cost of focusing on numbers of likes, vs. quality of engagement was high in this case, they lost a chance to provide children with Cancer a summer camp.
It is not in the numbers that you find success, but rather in the quality of the fans or followers and their level of engagement. Mindless fans – the Zombies – are good for show, but they aren't going to "show you the money". The cases above give simple but pretty clear examples. The honeymoon is over and it's time to stop swooning over how many people "Like" you, and start thinking about what that means and how active they are with your organization. If you want numbers to track, look into some real ROI metrics. There is no easy way to measure Social Media, but in the cases above – it really came down to something simple: Were the people moved to take action beyond the "Like"?
Are you still running around trying to get every one of your friends and their mother to "like" your organization's fan page?
It's time to have a reality check – if you're only chasing numbers, you're running in circles.


*Warm up adequately for this by rowing 1 or 2 easy 500's prior. Give me your 'flat out' best effort for 500 meters and record your times. No pacing for this. I want you to see how hard you can go and how much of a drop off in pace there is (if any). Make it hurt…it will be over quickly!
Rest 1 min between each cycle. For each cycle restart the AMRAP right where you left of in the last cycle.
*Start with an easy weight and build over the course of the sets.
*No need to extend the hips or clap at the top of the burpee, just get to the other side as fast as possible and drop into the next burpee. This is a short hard tester to see how much you are willing to push yourself into the pain cave. Scale weight to try to do all 3 rounds unbroken.
* If you have no idea what your 1RM is then find it!
**This is a benchmark workout so record your time and if you scaled the workout record how you scaled it. We will be doing this workout every month.
*** REMINDER: GYM CLOSED SATURDAY – SEE YOU AT THE HAMMONTON LAKE PARK FOR THE 'BRITTANY'S RUN 5K & 1 MILE FUN RUN/WALK' REPRESENT!!
*Do the max rep pull up sets immediately following your 3rd 4th and 5th sets of presses, then rest as needed before beginning your next set (2-3 minutes).
*Work as hard as possible for the first 30 seconds and rest the remaining 30 seconds for each round.
*Record times for your first 2 runs. The third one will be a handicapped run based on your best time.
Don't forget this Saturday's 'Brittany's Run' at the Hammonton Lake Park. Registration begins at 7AM and the 5K Run begins at 8:30AM. Gym will be closed and we will be looking to PR some 5K times at this event! You all have put in enough time at the gym to be able to easily complete this run so come out and prove your fitness and have some fun with us on Saturday!
*The ascending ladder is for the power clean, front squat and toes to bar only. Start each round with a 100 meter run and increase the rest of the exercises by 1 rep each round for a total of 10 rounds.
*Squat cleans are not allowed for any reps of this workout. Keep the power clean and the front squats as separate movements and complete all power clean reps before starting the front squat reps.

Karmic Koala to run Android applications?
The Ubuntu Developer Summit, currently running in Barcelona, is reported to have three sessions dealing with Google's Android operating system, fuelling speculation over what Karmic Koala, Ubuntu 9.10, will offer in the way of Android compatibility. A specification page on the Unbuntu Wiki for the Android Execution Environment, suggest that the plan is to allow Android applications to execute in their own chroot'ed environment with the non-X11 graphics of the mobile operating system being modified to display either via the X server, or through some other display mechanism. To a user, this would probably appear as a desktop window which contains an Android desktop.
Other parts of the plan suggest there would be tools to allow APK files, Android Package Files, to be installed from the Ubuntu host operating system. According to the specification, open source Android implementation cannot access the Google Application Marketplace, so the host operating system would have to manage that.
The plan also notes that Wi-Fi, network and USB management applications within Android would be removed to prevent conflicts. Without seamless integration with the existing desktop, the utility of a mobile operating system in a window is questionable, though it would be possible to integrate it as a "layer" over the desktop in a style similar to Apple's Mac OS X Dashboard. It may be possible to use the technology in a notebook/netbook remix, but the question would then be why use Ubuntu when the Android OS is already open sourced.
What the long term plan for this technology, and when, or if, it will be integrated with mainstream Ubuntu, will probably be decided at the Developer Summit. Officially, Canonical has said nothing about Android, saying just that it expects the developer summit to focus on key projects for Karmic Koala.


I still cannot get over the fact that is it already April! I feel like we were just ringing in the new year. This week has been a fun, crazy, exciting and overwhelming week in so many ways, but I am so thankful for the weekend and spending time with my family.
So, I know its not in a mason jar, but it still delicious. It has been so long since I made one of these and I forgot just how good they are! They are perfect make ahead breakfasts for your gals on the go. I used plain greek yogurt, Udi's simple original granola and some fresh blueberries! YUM! I also love to mix in strawberries and dark chocolate chips! It tastes like a chocolate covered strawberry!
This month, I got dishwasher packs, bathroom cleaner, all purpose cleaner, organic shave oil, and fabric and room spray (it smells amazing!). And last month I chose, toilet cleaner, dryer sheets, stain remover, deodorant, and the fruit and veggie wash. It so easy to customize it and choose what you need. You can select from home cleaning products, bath and body products and some diapering products.
I ordered this beauty mist during the Anthro Day sale, and I am over the moon in love with it! It is a perfect pick me up whenever you need it. You just spray some in your hair, face or body and it is like a instant refresh! The smell is to die for! The light rose smell is sure to put a smile on your face.
The smell is very similar to the Dr. Bronner's Hemp Rose Magic Soap.
Well, I moved out of the room I used to use as my office, and into my husbands old office so that we could use my old office for something else. My new office is a completely different layout, size and shape so I have been having fun rearranging it all.
Here is a little peak at what its looking like so far. I am loving getting to rearrange and change up my office.
The only downside, is that I am trying to make sure its not too girly since KJ will still use this office occasionally too. So, Blue and white it is. I mean how can you not love blue and white?
Spring time is one of my favorite seasons next to fall. I am so glad that I am staring to see hydrangeas in bloom! The reason I love spring so much is probably because all my favorite flowers being to bloom. (Hydrangeas, Tulips and Magnolias).
Have a fabulous weekend! I hope you get out and enjoy the warm sunshine!
I love your home! You have great taste. Do you work from home?

ModCell are helping to build, what is believed to be, the worlds first commercially available straw Eco-homes. Working closely with Bristol based developer Connolly-Callaghan we are building seven new homes using the recently BM Trada Q Mark certified ModCell Core prefabricated straw bale panel system. As part of the planning requirement the panels are being clad with red brick.
The traditional red brick and tiled roof of St Bernards Road complements the look and feel of exisiting neighbouring Shirehampton homes . This handsome row of housing comprises 5 three storey properties with room in the roof layouts and two hipped roof, two storey properties that bookend the development.
Behind the traditional brick elevation of the St Bernards Road development is a state of the art, super insulated, low carbon straw bale construction system by ModCell. The excellent insulating properties of straw encapsulated in the walls of the project can reduce your heating and cooling bills by up to 90% compared to the average for Bristol.
The latest thinking in Mechanical Ventilation Heat Recovery (MVHR) means that warm stale air inside the house is exchanged with fresh air from outside. The system cleverly swaps the heat from the outgoing air into the incoming fresh air to ensure stable temperatures, better air quality and drastically reduces you heating bills and carbon footprint. The combination of straw bale construction and MVHR means your home stays warm in winter, cool in summer and looks after your health and wellbeing.
The super insulated straw bale walls reduces energy use year on year.
The Mechanical Ventilation Heat Recovery system reduces energy, saves you money and looks after the health and well being of you family.
The Photovoltaic solar panels provides you with free electricity and a quarterly cheque from the feed in tariff.
The ModCell System is certified by Q Mark, one of the most demanding quality control systems in construction.
The ModCell System is an award winning construction system used across the UK.
The ModCell System has been rigorously tested. Not even the big bad wolf could blow your house down!

PPC or development? Kevin Leto has an interesting viewpoint.
Morning folks!!
I never had a 'Guest' blog post until now. But today I woke up and read something posted by Kevin Leto and asked his permission to reprint this. This should put some things in perspective to what lays ahead for domain owners and PPC companies. Change the numbers. Experiment. But there is a lot of truth in the way Kevin looks at things and it rings true with what I know as well. Kevin is the man that led the team behind acquisition of my Men.com domain in 2003/2004.
Parking vs. Development
'When looking at the debate of Parking vs. Development, much depends on
the objectives a domainer has for his portfolio and the types and
quality of his domains.
A high quality type-in domain will obviously have a higher CTR on a PPC
page, usually 30% to 40%, sometimes even higher. Whereas on a web site
you'll see CTR's of 5% to 10%. So you will see a drop in revenues
initially.
The down side to PPC is it doesn't create traffic growth, nor build a
user base, nor offer any other revenue or site feature options. Bottom
line you are limited completely. The upside is simplicity, especially
if you need a monetization solution for tens of thousands of domains.
The down side to web sites are initial drop in revenues (for type-in
domains), initial development costs, and then management of them. The
upside is you now have the ability to grow traffic, grow a user base,
and have total flexibility for implementation of all sorts of features
and revenue generators.
It kills me when domainers say PPC is better. It is ultimately not, and
if you sit down and deeply think about how much money you have been
leaving on the table you'd fall off your chair when the realization
sinks in.
If PPC was indeed better than we wouldn't have any problems selling our
fabulous sounding one word domain names to major corporations all day
long. They'd be falling all over themselves to pay any price we ask.
It's not happening and it's not going to happen, with rare exceptions
Major corporations don't want to acquire just type-in traffic for 20
years multiples, on an undeveloped domain. They do want to acquire
USERS and a branded domain with a site that provides those users with a
positive experience that they gain information, products, services,
interaction or entertainment from.
Business.com is a fantastic domain as an example. It went from a
$150,000 domain acquisition to a $7.5 Million acquisition for
development as a search engine with companies paying annual fees of
$199 to be included and paying for ad clicks to their directory
listing, and just recently to a $345 Million acquisition by the R.H.
Donnelly company. Most domainers would have that on a PPC landing page
and would be making a ton of money surely. But would they be making
$345 Million with that strategy? The answer is no. What surely turned
Donnelly on was not just the traffic, but that established advertiser
goldmine in Business.com's databases. Those advertisers could then be
further developed as advertisers across their entire ad network.
Web surfers come and either click and go on or just move on instantly
when they hit a ppc landing page. There is no customer aquisition for
the domain owner. Zippo. The most cherished and valued prize on the Net
walks into your store and in seconds is out the back door to someone
else's site. It that smart business? I don't think anyone could argue
Let's look at a big domain that has 30,000+ type-ins per day. Let's say
it's been owned for 10 years. That's 12 Million visitors a year. 120
Million since registration. Think about that number. 120 MILLION people
have come to your store in the past decade. How many are 'YOUR
CUSTOMERS'? Not a single one. How many of their e-mail addresses do you
have in a database? Not a single one. What kinds of stuff are they
looking to buy? You don't know a single drop of info about them.
They've come and they've gone.
Now lets analyze the valuations. Under the PPC model, let's assume a
high 60% CTR paying 15 cents a click ove the life of the domain so far.
The math works out to $10.8 Million you've earned over the past 10
years. That is great wealth and no one could deny a totally successful
Now lets say the site had been developed. After 10 years not only would
you have those same 120 Million visitors, you would have captured a
percentage of them in some way as repeat visitors, maybe a
subscription, maybe just registered, maybe sold them something
directly, any number of ways. But the main point is you would have tons
of repeat visitors, and they would have provided free word of mouth,
which would have brought in even more traffic and users. The revenues
could be anything here since there are so many ways to generate cash
flow when you have a web site. Surely in that time at a bare minimum
you could have earned equal to the PPC and probably many multiples
more. But the key point is you have not only an incredibly valuable
domain asset at this point, but an even more valuable customer base
asset. My guess is after 10 years you'd have at least 10 to 20 million
users, probably way more. Now you own an asset worth a fortune, and in
the hundreds of millions, and probably even close to a Billion or more.
So both ways make money, but the developed domain model is the true
ultimate long term goldmine. And yes, not every developed site works,
we've seen the dotcom bubble prove that, but the good thing about the
Net now is the economies of scale are so efficient you can take down
one concept and do another without much investment compared to the
early days, and you always have your base type-in traffic. That is not
going anywhere. If one building doesn't work, knock it down and put up
another until you get it right. It's that simple.
Now to the points about mini sites. I personally have found mini sites
work especially great for no-traffic domains bought at reg fee. They
grow traffic, no if's ands or buts. You do the math and even doing 1,
2, or 3 figs of revs a month, the numbers get amazing very very fast.
For most domainers I've polled, the majority of domains in their
portfolio get litle or no traffic. Why did we buy them and why do we
continue to then? It's the expectation we all say that one day they'll
be good for development. What happens is domainers end up having
thousands of these no traffic domains and basically get overwhelmed in
their minds when they reach the point of saying 'ok now how do I get
these all developed?'. 99% of domainers aren't developers. Nor do they
want to be. It takes a lot of multitasking type skills and loads of
energy to be a developer and even more to then manage it all
You also don't want to put simple sites on exceptional domains. Great
domains deserve and need great sites. And that doesn't mean you need to
spend an arm and a leg to get that. It certainly costs more to build a
more robust site, but Internet technoloy has dramatically reduced the
costs to an insignificant number compared to the early days. Over the
past couple months I've evolved my mini site concept and system
structure about 5 times over into something more robust, scaleable, and
integrated with lots more features and capabilities than the original
mini sites. I've now got a system designed to accomodate simple sites
for no traffic domains reg fee domains, enhanced sites for moderate
traffic domains and full scale sites for the premium type-in domains
and have figured a way to still keep the costs in check even on the
larger enterprise style sites. So its not just a strategy of instantly
doing a zillion mini sites. You have to evaluate each domain and how
much potential it has and then deploy a precision developed and custom
tailored site on it. Once you do a few, then keep on going and build
out more and more and more of them and you'll soon have an enterprise
sized ad network in your portfolio. Since a small number of domainers
have the really huge traffic type-in domains, this is a way for the
less fortunate domainers to get to that level too by having hundreds
and thousands of small sites doing hundreds of visitors each a day and
adding up to a big number of visitors network wide. It's not easy to
get small sites into thousands of visitors per day, but it is easy to
get double and triple digits of traffic per day on them. You build with
the end user in mind and they will come back and they will do word of
mouth for you and traffic grows.
I've researched all the stuff you hear about SEO inside out, and there
are some valid and genuine ways to optimize sites using SEO techniques.
There are also many 'black hat' ways that SEO wizards do to get high
page rankings for clients. Many of these don't last very long in the
SERPS. My position is look at Google's basic algorithm mantra. It's as
simple as their home page is. Sites that provide users with the best
experience go to the top of the SERPS for the long term. You don't need
all sorts of fancy SEO stuff to accomplish that, nor be an SEO rocket
scientist. You just need to do basic SEO optimizing and provide the
highest quality site experience you can. Not only will you get good
rankings, but users will tell other users, users will bookmark and come
back again and again.
As I've indicated above when you place a high traffic domain on a site
you'll see an initial rev drop, but you will begin the process of solid
traffic and user growth that will take you to the real treasure of
And here is where you have to really open your eyes wide and see
exactly where the trove of money is. It is not doing thousands of bulk
basic sites with Google AdSense on them. There is nothing wrong with
AdSense. It works. It makes money. But it is NOT the treasure trove
when you begin developing. It's just the first step of the advertising
monetization process. The gold rush comes when you enter Phase 2 of
development and have traffic built across many sites with well targeted
niches and users and can then sell impression based long term
advertising deals directly to major corporate advertisers. This is
where major major money can be made from advertising on developed
sites. Plus at this point you now have the ability to implement premium
subscription based type services and products to users to create
additional revenue flows, do lead generators, and all sorts of exciting
moneymakers.
Let's go back to the 10 year domain example above. Let's say after 10
years and your several hundred million visitors you had developed a
site and out of all those surfers you grabbed 1/2 of 1% for a
subscription of some kind. Not even taking into consideration the
millions of extra visitors that would have been grown by a site on the
domain, and just using the native type-in volume during that decade for
the base factoring, you'd have roughly 500,000 subscribers paying you a
fee every month. Or maybe just 500,000 subscribers with no fee but who
you could then sell premium rate advertising on, such as in a
newsletter. What's 500,000 subscribers paying you $9.95 /month? That's
$5 Million per month, over 10 years thats $600 Million. So what's
better? $10 Million or 10 to 20x that number by having a web site asset
to sell one day along with a great domain.
And think how much you could sell that asset for with 500,000 and up
subscribers, with major corporate advertisers, and a huge income
stream. Now you own a domain really worth the hundreds of millions of
dollars we all say our domains are worth.
Cha-ching $$$. Once you look at domains with this understanding and
vision, I think most domainers will quickly see the light, sit down
with a calculator and know the future much more clearly and without
hesitation, determine the wealth building strategy to aim for in the
years ahead.'

Les relations entre la Côte d'Ivoire et l'Inde sont les relations bilatérales de la république de Côte d'Ivoire et de la république de l'Inde. Les relations bilatérales entre les deux pays se sont considérablement développées ces dernières années, l'Inde cherchant à développer un vaste partenariat commercial et stratégique dans la région de l'Afrique de l'Ouest. La mission diplomatique indienne à Abidjan a été ouverte en 1979. La Côte d'Ivoire a ouvert sa mission résidente à New Delhi en . Les deux nations encouragent actuellement les efforts visant à accroître le commerce, les investissements et la coopération économique.

Relations économiques
Selon l'ambassadeur indien en Côte d'Ivoire, l'Inde prévoit d'investir un milliard de dollars dans le développement de projets pétroliers et miniers. Au cours des dix dernières années, le montant total des IDE indiens à l'étranger annoncés s'est élevé à plus de dix milliards de dollars. Du point de vue de la sécurité énergétique de l'Inde, la Côte d'Ivoire est devenue une destination importante pour les opportunités d'investissement dans l'exploration des hydrocarbures et des diamants. De récents reportages de la BBC ont attiré l'attention sur l'importance émergente de l'Afrique dans la politique économique étrangère de l'Inde et sur le rôle particulier qu'occupe désormais l'Afrique de l'Ouest. L'Inde espère exploiter les vastes richesses pétrolières de la région en accédant au littoral du golfe de Guinée.

La production de pétrole en Côte d'Ivoire s'élève à plus de . L'ONGC indienne a déjà investi  de dollars pour explorer un bloc offshore dans la région, qu'elle est en train de forer.

L'Inde facilite également le développement d'un parc technologique à Abidjan, nommé d'après le Mahatma Gandhi. Le ministre indien du commerce, Jairam Ramesh, a déclaré que les deux pays coopèrent également dans de nouveaux domaines tels que les produits pharmaceutiques, les transports, l'approvisionnement en eau et les télécommunications. S'adressant à la deuxième commission commerciale mixte Indo-Côte d'Ivoire, le ministre indien du commerce a déclaré que l'Inde voulait établir un partenariat stratégique avec la Côte d'Ivoire pour développer l'extraction, la taille et le polissage des diamants, ce qui offrirait des emplois à la population locale.

La société indienne Tata Steel et la SODEMI (société publique ivoirienne de développement minier) ont conclu un accord de coentreprise pour le développement des gisements de minerai de fer du Mont Nimba en Côte d'Ivoire. Le gisement du Mont Nimba, réparti sur trois pays - Liberia, Guinée et Côte d'Ivoire, est l'un des plus importants d'Afrique. La Côte d'Ivoire conservant toujours son statut de puissance économique de l'Afrique-Occidentale française, l'Inde cherche à ouvrir de nouvelles usines dans le pays.

Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt...

I get the impression that this must be the motto of The Wall Street Journal. They have posted yet another article quoting even more experts who all say that the odds are against Tesla Motors efforts with a proposed Gigafactory. Their comments are listed under the cheery and hopeful headings 'We Haven't Invented It Yet', 'A Roll of the Dice', and 'Better to Go Slow', among others.
To take a long, hard, skeptical look at the Bears' Perspective, just click this link:
Are Tesla's Plans for a Giant Battery Factory Realistic?
Dramsey | 18 maggio 2014
It didn't really strike me as FUD; note the comments from people with vast experience in the field from the likes of Toyota and the failed A123.
They're basically all saying the gigafactory is a big risk. Do you disagree with that? Tesla's business model has always been a big risk.
If it weren't, someone else would have done it long since. Nobody ever won big by playing it safe; we're just fortunate Elon's got enough money so that he can afford to take risks like this.

"And to get there, it has no special plans to do anything exotic. Instead, it's using old-school techniques like managing its supply chain better and lowering logistics costs. Musk talked of working directly with raw materials suppliers on Tesla's recent earnings call, saying they were surprised to hear from the company and pleased to explore ways to lower costs on metals like nickel. In addition, the Gigafactory is designed to be a soup-to-nuts operation where on-site renewable power will drive an integrated manufacturing facility that will produce everything from battery cells to finished packs, minimizing transportation expenses."
Old school manufacturing principles... no magic needed.

Yeah. Dudes who basically said, "If we couldn't do it, no one can!" The guy at Toyota who pushed their early FCEVs for years -- interesting that he is gone just before they are going to actually release them. A guy from a battery company that failed, because they were either "too early" or "ahead of the times", dependent on the point of view. Another guy who just doesn't see the economics working out, who probably said the same thing in 1995 about the internet. All saying, "We're uncertain, and we doubt it can happen, so you should be fearful of Tesla's plans!", between the lines.
Oh, and a total lack of editorial comment beyond the introductory, "Tesla's plan follows a largely failed effort by the Obama administration to create a large battery-manufacturing base in the U.S. Several manufacturers that built battery plants as part of that initiative went into bankruptcy after being caught with too much capacity when projected demand for electric cars failed to materialize." I really hate this brand of 'journalism'. It asks leading, open-ended, rhetorical questions intended to steer a conversation in a particular direction, no matter facts to the contrary.
Are these valid concerns? They were, until they were all answered. Is this a risky proposition? Sure, for everyone that has pushed all their chips into the ICE and Oil pile.
Remnant | 19 maggio 2014
My inkling is that Elon has a much better picture of the odds for the gigafactory. He is an entrepreneur, not an adventurer. His risk-taking, at least from his own point of view, is bound to be reasonable. The fact that Rogowski cannot see it is not a surprise.
A more specific thing Rogowski is blind about is the likely role of the Ryden battery. That battery is packed with innovations, each one of which is bound to have a positive impact on battery development, even if the Ryden package will not fully penetrate the market in its current implementation.
I see we're having a communications problem.
There is no technical risk to building the Gigafactory. We know how to build lithium-ion batteries in industrial quantities.
There is a substantial business risk. Look at it from an investor's point of view:
• Tesla has yet to turn a profit on its product, and yet wants to spend $5 billion to create this factory.
• Similar factories have failed-- several of them in fact. What's different this time around? (And why didn't Tesla buy batteries from A123?)
• What are the numbers-- how long will it take to recoup the immense capital expenditure required to build the factory? How many batteries does Tesla project they will sell, and in what time frame?
Elon thinks he can do it. Good for him. Given his track record, I'd tend to bet on him. But pointing out the record of failure of similar ventures (many similar ventures) is more prudence than yellow journalism.
It kinda reminds me of the various perpetual motion guys: sure, every other previous perpetual motion scheme has failed, but this one is different. (OK, that was a nasty comparison. But still...)
Rocky_H | 19 maggio 2014
@Dramsey, I take the "yet to turn a profit" with a grain of salt. They make a good profit margin on the cars, and if they wanted to, they could have easily turned a profit overall if they would slow down the expansion in Europe, China, Superchargers, etc. So I think they are plenty financially stable.
My take on it is that they know they have a huge amount of demand, even with their prices and profit margins as extremely high as they are right now. They know that lack of battery supply is THE thing that will be holding them back over the next few years, so it's something they have to do something about.
Brian H | 19 maggio 2014
Internal demand will soak up the output as soon as Model E is in production. "Selling" batteries is not the issue.
@RockyH: I agree with your comments on Tesla's profitability, and that they're plowing all their income into expansion, Superchargers, and new model development.
In other words, they're growing really fast. And that's the part to watch out for.
History is littered with the corpses of initially-successful companies that couldn't handle fast rates of growth.
SamO | 20 maggio 2014
I think the big risk is if they DON'T have a big battery factory. The front pages of many papers are likely to second guess NOT having more factories when the GENIII begins to go on sale.
What happens if MS/MX sales go above 100,000 by the end of 2015. Their contract with Panasonic won't be able to keep up with demand.
Seems a much more likely problem than they can't make a commodity lithium ion battery in volume.
Tesla Motors is handling its growth just fine. It is the rest of the automotive industry, competing energy industries, and Wall Street that can't handle their growth.
Tesla has been given a lot of very good, reasonable, even-handed, wise, free advice. Much of it should be considered, weighed, balanced, weighed, and subsequently discarded. Not because it isn't good advice, but because it doesn't apply to them.
Dramsey inquired:
"What's different this time around? (And why didn't Tesla buy batteries from A123?)" - The difference is that Tesla has the demand internally with their current and upcoming product lines. - They have it externally with residential, commercial, and industrial level storage systems for SolarCity. - They also hope to have demand as a supplier to other auto manufacturers, should they ever wake up, and smell the ozone. - They didn't buy from A123 because, quite simply, they didn't trust them.
"What are the numbers-- how long will it take to recoup the immense capital expenditure required to build the factory?"I would guess they have chosen to mark that at about twenty-five years. They will be perfectly happy if it turns out to pay for itself within five-to-ten.
"How many batteries does Tesla project they will sell, and in what time frame?" - As Brian H pointed out above, "Internal demand will soak up the output as soon as Model E [nee, Generation III] is in production. 'Selling' batteries is not the issue." Tesla will be building and selling cars -- lots of them.
Rock_H wrote, "They know that lack of battery supply is THE thing that will be holding them back over the next few years, so it's something they have to do something about."
Precisely how I feel about the situation. Imagine if General Motors had a single supplier for gas tanks for all the vehicles they sell in the world. Would Wall Street be up in arms if General Motors, after being turned down by that supplier upon asking for an increase in production, thought it would be a good idea to build their own gas tank factory, to match their own projected needs, just in case? Probably not. It would probably be seen as a good business decision. So why isn't it a good idea for Tesla? Simple. It is too good an idea for Bears and Shorters to accept.
Dramsey wrote, "History is littered with the corpses of initially-successful companies that couldn't handle fast rates of growth."
And history shows that the grand majority of them couldn't handle the growth because they didn't prepare for it. Issues can arise because of legal inquiries and journalistic sleights, among others.
History also shows that people who start car companies may well be the targets of unwarranted legal attacks to ruin their reputations. Tucker was held up by false allegations of impropriety just long enough to make sure they couldn't get off the ground. DeLorean was arrested on trumped up drug charges that were later dropped. Tesla has been accosted by The Lemon King.
I checked out documentary videos on YouTube that covered Preston Tucker and John DeLorean. It is truly amazing that the Olde Guard still uses the same tired, old tactics to attack a newcomer to the automotive market. They can't seem to understand that in today's world, they just don't work. Elon Musk is smart enough, and determined enough, and informed enough, to know full well what was done to besmirch and ruin the reputations of those men and the car companies they founded. So he has succinctly prepared for such eventualities at every turn.
The accusations fly, like:
In It for the Money -- Nope. He was already rich enough, and squandered it all for a dream -- two of them -- in fact.
Only for the Rich -- Nope. Raising funds to release affordable cars for everyone.
It CAN'T be Done -- Nope. Lookit. Ten years and already caught up with everyone else.
Just a Toy -- Nope. Not just a go-cart. Best car ever.
Unsafe, Untested, Unreliable -- Nope. Safest car ever. Confirmed by everyone that matters. Minimal maintenance.
False Advertising -- Nope. No advertising at all.
Huckster, Charlatan, Jive Turkey -- Nope. Programmer, Engineer, and Physicist.
Bull Dog -- Nope. Don't attack him, then act as if you were all innocent and $#!+.
Market Disrupter -- Meh. Just doing his thing.
Hot Wife -- Well, a man has to have a reason to go home eventually.
Meanwhile publications such as the Wall Street Journal, Forbes magazine, and The New York Times all seem to have it in for Tesla Motors. Similarly almost every mention of Tesla on television is accompanied by video of a car fire and the slightest hint that the cars just might spontaneously explode. Writers in many an automotive magazine put Tesla in the same category as VECTOR, at best -- until they drove the Tesla Model S. At least that shut them up.
BMW touts their cars as 'The Ultimate Driving Machine'. Acura once used the tagline 'Precision Crafted Performance'. Tesla Motors strives for much the same, which Elon generally calls, 'The Best Car in the World'. Tesla can borrow my motto if they like:
'Artistic Expression by Technical Expertise'
@Red Sage,
Fastest (thanks HOV lane)
Cheapest (to Fuel and Maintain)
Safest (5.4* and no serious injuries or deaths - yet)
Quickest (step on the peddle and feel it go)
Best Car in the World?
Best I've driven.
blue adept | 20 maggio 2014
Tesla Motors and in particular, Elon Musk, has always been up for a challenge, just as they've/he's always been known for doing what others have profusely claimed couldn't be done.
I have no worries, none. No fear, uncertainty, or doubt, whatsoever.
@Dramsey: "History is littered with the corpses of initially-successful companies that couldn't handle fast rates of growth."
Red Sage covered most of it about being prepared for growth, but I'll add this. I think most of those companies were putting the cart before the horse. They usually tried to grow things big, thinking that enough customers would come. With Tesla, it's huge amounts of customers driving them forward with a whip (only in this case, the whip is fistfuls of money). And still, Tesla is only touching the premium market (a small portion of the total auto market), and they have a lot of demand. There are many more people who want one, but can't afford it yet. So when there is already huge customer demand driving the growth, I think a company will do OK with growing in that scenario.

The car leads the way. Period! DO I have $102,000 to spend on a P85 plus? I could but my apartment doesn't have the extension cord to reach the street. DO I have $35,000 to spend on the next generation? Does a medium rare steak make my mouth water? I can not wait for that car to come down the pike, and with that car and a few more local charging stations, YOU BET THAT FACTORY WILL NEED ALL THE CAPACITY IT WILL GENERATE and more!

I have been concerned about the dual carbon battery news. So concerned that I wanted to call them and tell them about what I read.
If the claims are true, that would make the "gigafactory" project defunct in a way. While PJP claims that the existing systems need minimum modification to switch from Li-ion battery production to dual-carbon battery production, it still would be a cost for Tesla if dual-carbon batteries are what PJP claims they are and Tesla decides to switch to making them.
I am sure the Tesla team would have done due diligence before plunking $5bn into this project. For Tesla motors' sake, of which I am a huge fan, and for the sake of a lower-cost easy-to-run electric car - I hope the dual-carbon tech is for real AND that Tesla Motors gigafactory produces it :D
drax7 | 21 maggio 2014
I've been reading the wall st journal since 1975, cannot recall ever
Reading an article that lead me financial gains. Barron's the sister
Publication poo poohed the apples iPhone 1 . After that I stopped
Reading that publication.
In time I've realized Most business journalist are clueless, and
Mostly what they write about tesla reflects that.
DonS | 22 maggio 2014
The fact is that most businesses fail, even ones that look promising. The thing I've observed is that the experts are not any better than the average Joe at guessing which companies will prosper. The only thing for certain is that 10 years from now, we will be able to look back and see that most of the predictions were wrong.
shensierra moderately chastised, "Of course he's in it for the money."
Perhaps, but not in it for "a quick buck", which is what a lot of skeptics presumed about Elon Musk at the outset. They thought he was just building a company to frighten one of the Big Three in Detroit into buying him out, and subsequently dismantle the company. They mistakenly presumed that was his entrepreneurial mindset.
They didn't realize that Zip2.com and PayPal.com were really only sold because his partners, and angel investors, wanted to make a quick buck. Elon would have kept them forever. That is why SpaceX is not a publicly traded company -- it is Elon's baby. Period.
One dollar salary per year. None of his stock matures unless Tesla Motors makes a certain bare minimum profit for an extended period, by a certain date. His fortunes are literally tied to the company's success or failure. He has stated that his was the first money into Tesla, it will be the last money out.
Hence, NOT in it for the money.
There is no (near-term) future for dual carbon batteries. I could post thousands of links to the next "battery breakthrough" which have amounted to nothing.
Even if this battery is real, it's vaporware until it's being made in quantity.
carlgo | 22 maggio 2014
SamO is right: NOT building the battery plant is the big risk. The batteries will be needed and they need not be magical.
Tesla obviously knows how to build a compelling car. Millions of people will want an affordable Tesla if range anxiety is addressed.
If a better battery comes along, Tesla will buy the battery building machines needed and make them.
Nobody cares what the battery technology is. It could be made of dog poop but if it is affordable, gets you to where you want to go and can be charged up conveniently, it will be fine.
Don't have the perfect battery technology? Simply put in lots of fast chargers. A Brand X rival might have a better battery, but if you need an extension cord and hours of your time to charge it, it is a terrible battery in actual use. Charging facilities and the speed of battery charging is far more important than somewhat better technology.
Likely it will be awhile before a future super battery is actually much better than the expected improved and cheaper versions of the present technology.
The big risk is either doing nothing or in chasing after something unproven. And of course in being inflexible and not being ready to move on new and better technologies when it is time to do so.
"In it for the money" doesn't mean the same thing to billionaires it does to the rest of us. It's a way of keeping score, shaping the world, and tool to get things done, not just a source of personal indulgence.
Here is an excerpt from
http://www.dailyfinance.com/2014/05/19/memo-to-tesla-motors-inc-use-our-...
How marketable is the battery? Power Japan Plus says that it is cost competitive.
[It] slots directly into existing manufacturing processes, requiring no change to existing manufacturing lines. Even more, the battery allows for consolidation of the supply chain, with only one active material -- carbon. Additionally, manufacturing of the Ryden battery is under no threat of supply disruption or price spikes from rare metals, rare earth or heavy metals.
Obviously if Power Japan Plus' assertions are true, this could quickly make Tesla's planned Gigafactory obsolete [unless it was intended to use the Ryden technology from the getgo.
Would Power Japan Plus partner with Tesla Motors? Absolutely. The company's chief marketing officer, Chris Craney, provided The Motley Fool with these statements:
Power Japan Plus could certainly enter a licensing agreement with Tesla Motors or any other automotive company that is interested in moving beyond lithium ion batteries to a battery chemistry that is safe, sustainable and cost effective.
And on the Gigafactory:
Tesla is building the Gigafactory because lithium ion batteries are so expensive [incidentally, the drawings supplied by Power Japan indicate that the Ryden could well be a Lithium-ion battery as well]. The only way a mass market electric vehicle powered by a lithium ion battery pack will be feasible is to drive down the cost of the battery by reaching very large economies of scale. The dual carbon battery is cost effective from day one, without even needing to reach large economies of scale, because the only active material is carbon, which is abundant and cheap.
Power Japan Plus would not comment on whether or not it is in talks with Tesla but did say that after coming out of stealth mode on Tuesday it is already taking meetings with multiple parties interested in the technology.
I've said all along that the Tesla Gigafactory would be set up in such a way that they could move to a different battery technology in a fraction of the time anyone else could. That will be a fundamental part of its design. The ability to stop everything and change course as needed.
The biggest issue facing Tesla Motors, should they move to another technology, would be getting the software right. The system software is currently designed to manage the benefits, deficiencies, attributes, and failures that are inherent in the use of lithium ion batteries. Those same balancing, charging, measuring, and stabilizing algorithms are not guaranteed to work as well with a different configuration of battery tech. So something else would have to be designed and tested thoroughly before being released 'wide'.
One of the fun things about the Periodic Table of Elements is seeing the relationships of elements to each other. They really are in sort of 'family groups' with each other. Science Fiction often looks at Carbon (C) on the periodic table and hypothesizes that perhaps lifeforms could be built around its neighbor, Silicon (Si). In fact, if someone has figured out a way to make a battery that is solid Carbon... What's to stop someone else from using a similar technique to make a solid Silicon battery?
The Japan Plus battery is not solid carbon; the two electrodes are both carbon, but lithium and "Anode" atoms still carry the charge and current internally.
Ah. That makes more sense.
As the alternative fuel/BEV market heats up, as do its detractors, it only stands to reason that the best move that Tesla could make at this stage would be to internalize all ancillary operations towards the goal of becoming self-sufficient/dependent to insure product integrity and technological propriety.
In otherwords, the Giga-factory is a logical move in any sense.
Here is a serious concern I have also raised regarding Google's driverless EV:
In an age of hackers, worms, root-kits, Trojan horses, "cookies" and CPU backdoor access, one should wonder about the risk of digital hang-ups, crashes, imprisonment, kidnapping, and assassination.
Security in such a vehicle must include a variety of credible overrides, stoppages, reboots, and escapes for the passengers. Warranty should include a chapter on these issues.
This is one of the inquiries I would make about a Tesla, before I purchase it.
The point EM repeatedly makes, "We are production constrained" is the rock on which the company's future is built. The product is so good and the gross margin so high that TM has many more "degrees of freedom" (useful choices) than any automotive competitor. Hence the market cap.
@remnant,
You worry about a speculative fear, hacking, when in reality, driving is a more dangerous than almost any other activity.
http://www.riskcomm.com/visualaids/riskscale/datasources.php
@ SamO (May 30, 2014)
<< You worry about a speculative fear, hacking, when in reality, driving is a more dangerous than almost any other activity. >>
Interesting statistics, but we have to take into account that a driverless car is a game changer. No one knows what statistics can spring out of that.
Think about it: a mere digital prank could kill a person who has become a passenger on such a contraption. I've lost hard disks, computers and cell phones to malware and digital accidents. There is no evidence at this point that a driverless car could be immune to such accidents, not to speak about willful cyber-sabotage.
At any rate, I would have serious misgivings about getting into a cage that can be locked up from a distance and then hurled at high speed over a cliff, into a wall, or just into pedestrians and vehicles around.
Do you have statistics on that kind of occurrence? And what do you think about its possible investigation?
Guess what! No evidence of foul play. It's been safely erased.
Autopilot or driverless must be AS safe and likely order of magnitude safer. I wouldn't be surprised if you go years without fatality and no at fault collisions.
Google has at least 750,000 miles without incident.
Hacking is putting the cart before the horse. They can already be at least as secure as RSA http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSA_(cryptosystem)
Until the evolution of a global AI with a taste for Bump-Em cars and access to quantum decryption ... >:)
<< Google has at least 750,000 miles without incident. >>
Did they try to cause one though?
<< They can already be at least as secure as RSA ... >>
If this were true, they would say so.

Appraising someone or something from inside the box, when they operate so far out of it is meaningless. Let them talk that's all it is.
That one guy, Cory Johnson, simply infuriated me. I wanted to hit him with the nearest available chair. Is that wrong?
Timo | 4 giugno 2014
@Remnant:
Yes, they have tried. Surprise pedestrian turning in front of car and that sort of things. Car reacts (way) faster than human. In city speeds and traffic that thing is actually a lot safer than most human drivers would be. It can actually see multiple directions at same time which is obviously impossible to any humans.
Most of time though car just drives safely and avoids accidents simply by not getting into situations where those could happen.
Who cares if the thing has no encryption whatsoever. I want to see a person that can remotely hack a computer that has no network connection to outside world. That's what is required to crack into those things.

No, it's not wrong to "want" to hit someone with a chair, only if you actually do.
That said, I wanted to hit him with one as well, then I recalled how he lobbied to be the one to get the interview with Musk out of the other Bloomberg crew and then sharted himself when Elon took him for a spin in his Roadster (you can see it on his face in the video).
He's (Johnson) been dropping snide remarks about Tesla Motors every chance he gets since then...I'm seriously thinking about lobbying to have Jon Erlichman replace him just to get him (Johnson) out of the main San Francisco studio where he likes to indulge his narcissism by inserting himself into any conversation he can and trying to steal the lead from the show's actual main host, Emily Chang.

Tesla Motors To Construct Manufacturing Plant in Europe - "Mind our frankness, but this is just the typically unrealistic Elon Musk jibber-jabber."
Naysayers will never understand.
Surprise! The FOOLS got it wrong again:
The Motley Fool - Why Tesla Motors Inc.'s 'Open Source' Offer Is Not What You Think
⇒ "Tesla is yet again creating a positive, altruistic image of itself for consumers through the guise of 'open source' good will toward the people, business, and governments of earth."
Those guys will never get it.
Almost, but still no cigar for the FOOLS...
The Motley Fool - Why Tesla Motors' Dealer Fight Doesn't Even Matter -- Yet
⇒ While headlines regarding Tesla's battle with lobbyists and state dealership laws are generating heated debates and decisive opinions, it won't matter for years.
The main point of the article is correct. The reasoning behind it is not. They seem to believe that eventually Tesla Motors will simply have to relent to the demands of the traditional methods of selling cars.
Their cars don't have to be 'sold'. Their cars are ordered, manufactured upon request, and delivered. They will never sit en masse on a lot, hoping that someone will come by to look at them... and maybe buy them.
Even though the author admits in closing that other industries have moved online from brick & mortar, the article leaves the feeling that he doesn't believe that will happen with Tesla.
SamO | 26 giugno 2014
@RS,
Elon has said that when GEN III releases, that they "may" use the dealership model.
That being said, I'd put together a nonprofit dealership as a passthrough if Elon wanted to sell using the same model. Tesla employees, Tesla design, Tesla direction . . . Tesla profits.
Brian H | 26 giugno 2014
Outfitting and staffing enough stores to move the GenIII may be more than TM wants to take on. A conumdrum, or SLT.
Here the thing is... If they would like to 'get in the game' when Tesla Generation III launches, Dealerships would have to make a proper commitment to selling electric cars. That is, dealers would be required to order enough vehicles to ensure they intend to, and in fact must, sell them through to end users en masse. In other words, they have to prove to Elon Musk that they are not full of [BORSHT], by properly answering the question, "How many cars do you want to order?"
Think you can move two, maybe three cars per quarter?
⇒ Get out.
Think it would be cool to put in a standing order of 10,000 per year?
⇒ Tesla can move that many in under three months, in Los Angeles County alone.
Projecting a 150,000 unit minimum target over the first three years?
⇒ Now you're playing with electricity!
It isn't worth Tesla potentially losing the ability to sell direct in a state, and thereby controlling their own destiny as a result, if Dealerships aren't able to commit to buying & selling at least as many cars -- or more -- than Tesla projects they can sell on their own. Without that commitment? [SIERRA] them.

Tesla to Fortify Pennsylvanian Presence
Once it's signed by the Governor, Tesla Motors will be fine in Pennsylvania.
Interestingly, the article by Zacks Equity Research concludes with:
"Tesla currently carries a Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell).
"Some better-ranked automobile stocks worth considering are Fox Factory Holding Corp (FOXF), Gentherm Incorporated (THRM) and Meritor, Inc. (MTOR). All these stocks sport a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy)."
FOX is one of the primary sponsors of motocross and offroad racing...
⇒ Recent insider trading allegations are sure encouraging.
Gentherm Incorporated, formerly called Amerigon, created the first thermoelectrically heated and cooled seat system for the automotive industry...
⇒ Hey, look! Insider trading here too!
Meritor, Inc. is an American corporation headquartered in Troy, Michigan which manufactures automobile components for military suppliers, trucks, and trailers...
⇒ Reports of a 'Dead Cat Bounce' in its stock price are hopeful.
Why do I get the distinct impression that analysts want to scare the world away from TSLA, so they can buy it all for themselves at a steep discount to hold for the next 50-60 years?
A slanted title, gleaned from what were probably leading questions...
Tesla Motors Inc Ex-Chief Engineer: Regulations Driving EV Demand, Not Consumers
Vikas Shukla wrote, "Tesla Motors Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA)'s former Chief Engineer Robert Feldmaier, who worked on the Model S, says that electric vehicle demand is largely driven by regulations rather than consumers. During a conference call with UBS analysts Colin Langan and Philippe Houchois, Feldmaier said he wouldn't be surprised if Model S demand in the U.S. slows after initial adoption. Offering a cautious outlook on sales volume, he said that Roadster demand too fell after early adoption."
Meh. Whatever. I believe that the only 'slowing' that will occur with Tesla Model S sales will be: 1) as a result of Tesla Motors ramping up sales of Tesla Model X; and 2) due to impending production of Tesla Generation III. There will not be a decrease in demand for the Model S at all. People will still want to buy it... they'll just have to wait for it. And they will.
Tesla will purposely limit annual production on Model S to about 50,000 units. They will halt annual production on Model X at perhaps 150,000 vehicles. All the rest of their annual production will be dedicated to the rollout of Generation III cars.
In other words, all the capacity of the Fremont facility above 200,000 units will be dedicated to GIII. Don't expect an increase of worldwide sales on Model S and Model X beyond a combined 200,000 units annually until there is at least one new factory built in Asia, Europe, or the Americas -- and a Gigafactory (or two) is in full form.
Vikas Shukla wrote in conclusion, "Tesla will have to use smaller battery packs, which would reduce range, to bring down the cost."
Tesla Motors uses battery packs that are filled with 18650 form factor lithium-ion battery cells. In the four years between the launch of the Tesla Roadster and the Tesla Model S capacity of individual cells improved by 40%. So the number of battery cells that yielded only 53 kWh capacity on the Roadster allowed 85 kWh capacity in the Model S. With a similar increase in capacity prior to the release of Tesla Generation III vehicles, it would require fewer battery cells to achieve a 60 kWh capacity -- the lowest capacity used currently, in the Tesla Model S 60.
Vehicle # Cells
S 85 ~7000
GIII 85 ~4200
Combined with a projected 30% lower cost of batteries with the opening of the Gigafactory, that means that as time goes by, Tesla's margins on the GIII will go up. That will allow the cars to be affordable, while allowing Tesla to put more cars on the road per cell count.
In this example, the GIII 60 would use only 60% of the battery cells that were originally in the Model S 60, while the GIII 85 would use only 60% of the battery cells that were originally in the Model S 85. That would make for a weight savings of around 500 pounds with the 85 kWh version and over 350 pounds off the 60 kWh version.
Since the GIII 60 would also weigh substantially less than a Model S 60, it would also have a longer range -- not shorter. So instead of an EPA rated range of 208 miles, it would be closer to 250 miles instead. No Tesla Motors vehicle will ever be released with a range less than 200 miles minimum ever again.


TV, Fridge, microwave. Room 105. Had everything I needed. Coffe maker is on the desk.
sink separate from the toilet and tub.
very comfortable beds and pillows!
I posted 4 nice pictures of room 105 and for some reason attached to my photos are 4 very bad pictures of something else, definitely not room 105 I stayed in. I thought Econo Lodge was very neat and clean, and I don't want that bad stuff attached to my review!!
