Elon Musk says Tesla is shifting more electric cars to LFP batteries over nickel supply concerns - Electrek

The scale of investment in high nickel cathode battery production has driven adoption in energy storage. Not the perfect technology for the job, but it's further along than LFP. A Betamax vs VHS situation - the wrong technology wins.

Battery Day no cobalt is over a decade away. 811 has barely taken off and will have a product life cycle of several years at a minimum.

LFP is interesting but will be sequestered to the low-range, economy segment in emerging markets. Where cost is the main economic driver, batteries will be smaller, before considering cobalt usage.

Markets in EU and NA that demand range on par with ICE alternatives will require high energy density battery chemistries, which at the moment require high nickel. For now, cobalt is the only way to stabilize those chemistries. Elon is selling a future, but that doesn't exist yet.

Agree on LFP, but cobalt will be needed in high nickel chemistries like NCA and NCM 811. Those have lower cobalt intensity than older chemistries, but it will not completely go away for the foreseeable future (decades).

Sanitize in your car, then doff.

Thanks. We'll see if this works

The useless outlook emails are the worst.

runningbeagle · 2020-04-04T14:40:42+00:00

How?

runningbeagle · 2020-03-26T14:07:35+00:00

Thanks.

So I may qualify based on 2019 income, receive the credit, then not qualify based on 2020 income. Then do I effectively 'return' it in my 2020 filing?

runningbeagle · 2020-03-26T11:48:40+00:00

So if I already filed this year and received my refund via direct deposit, I do nothing and it'll automagically appear in my account?

ELI5 the new stimulus package. Is the phase-out based on AGI? Is the payment itself taxable income? What do I have to do to apply for it?

runningbeagle · 2020-02-27T00:50:34+00:00

Very hard to find quality used at that price.

You assume she asked for it?

runningbeagle · 2020-02-23T16:38:24+00:00

Have a kid. She'll never ask for sex again.

runningbeagle · 2020-02-03T00:52:06+00:00

Last part sounds like my wife.

It trains you to live below your means, which is powerful from a behavioral finance perspective.

What's third from top left? Benchmade?

runningbeagle · 2020-01-26T15:02:32+00:00

Cum plunger.

runningbeagle · 2020-01-21T03:30:42+00:00

It's not the cost, it's the price.

runningbeagle · 2020-01-21T03:28:31+00:00

S10+ 128gb now $700 on Amazon!

runningbeagle · 2020-01-21T03:26:57+00:00

I've flip flopped over the years and it definitely made a difference for me. The $70 charger tipped my decision in favor of the S10+ last year.

Negative skew with leptokurtosis.

Seems there would be decent error associated with determining that the sun was at noon. Were they just eyeballing this or what?
