Sorry to yank y'alls heads out of your ostrich holes. But it was sorely overdue.

The article says "holy grail," not "holey grail."

LOL, you got me!

Dead Tesla cars pile up at Chicago Superchargers in extreme cold.

To think I was deathly afraid we wouldn't get a battery article this week.
The only thing that could make it better is if AI was responsible for the breakthrough.

but..

Microsoft itself is also quite aggressively researching new battery tech. Just this week, Microsoft published details of its own battery breakthroughs, showcasing how its artificial intelligence models discovered new methods for reducing the amount of lithium needed in today's batteries.

Perfect *chefs kiss*

Microsoft Windows co-pilot AI authors new battery tech breakthrough for Tesla motors is the only way to improve on that. *trigger warning* bahaha

battery breakthrough of the month article. meanwhile... nothing ever makes it to market.

So many things broken through. Could teleportation and living on Jupiter be far behind?

Boy we're a bunch of cynical fuckers aren't we? 😁

This thread is everything I expected from the battery techs naysayers around here.

Still not realising that a lot of those breakthroughs do make it to market in lithium batteries.

A seven fold increase in efficiency ( and still going ) since the first commercial lithium battery in that historic Sony Camcorder is all the evidence you need that some of those older past breakthroughs you read sometimes years or decades ago did have a major impact on batteries throughout the last few decades until today and hence some of the current breakthroughs will have major impacts in turn down the road.

GODDAMNIT SO MUCH!!!!!!!

Not one day! NOT ONE FUCKING DAY!

Ask and you shall receive!

If a company can't keep selling us new batteries on a regular basis then this tech will never see the light of day, outside of some ridiculously expensive military application.

Panasonic to make upgraded EV batteries for Tesla

That one got missed too

GODDAMNIT SO MUCH!!!!!!!

Not one day! NOT ONE FUCKING DAY!

Never being one to disappoint.

The bigger news is that there is no Musk news today, someone is slacking. I should've knocked on wood before I posted that though, now there's bound to be one in the nightlies

Now you have to setup the altar, perform the rite of purification, and sacrifice two chickens and a goat to stave off the oncoming tsunami of Musk "news" for weird nerds and wannabe Libertarians to masturbate to.
