  • Well there's tesla. Can't wait till I get my model 3. As for the alternative energy source, scientists are already working toward a nuclear fusion reactor.

    Tesla is good but there need to be others like them. Other major car manufactures are getting into the game but not enough. I'll give capitalism one thing, competition really does drive improvements. Nuclear Fusion could pose a pretty big threat and even with it, it still requires massive infrastructure. Think about Africa. Having some Fusion reactor in the Desert somewhere in America doesn't provide them power. Better and cheaper solar panels (and batteries) can be set up so a village can run on its own infrastructure and isn't dependent on someplace else for power. I think a combination of Nuclear, Solar and Wind is the solution. Either way our power grid needs vast improvements.

  • Yeah. Tesla is also working with solar city (I believe that's the name) so maybe there will be some improvements with solar energy as well.

    I believe that they are in the process of a merger. It was a pretty critical venture considering Tesla's goal of having their Gigafactory run on renewable energy. They were both owned by Elon Musk anyway. Might as well. There are plenty of other Solar Panel manufacturers working on it. Cost has come down a lot in recent years and efficiency has gone up. All good things. I want to put solar panels on my house eventually and get some Tesla Wall Batteries but they need to be improved before I get them. A Tesla 3 will probably be my next car.

  • Yeah I have one preordered. If they can continue to increase the range of the cars and lower the price, then it will become a daily driver for many.

  • Agreed. I just bought a car 2 years ago so I'm paying it off and when it dies ill probably get a Tesla.

  • By then they'll be even better! I think tesla will be the only cars I buy brand new. Cause there's such a long waiting list for the model 3, hopefully it will last me a long time.

  • That's what I'm hoping for. And by then hopefully I'll have solar panels on my roof too. Then I'll know I'm driving on solar power. They just need to make sure they mine responsibly. Getting minerals from space would solve that but...
