A bit about Elon Musk vs Nikola Tesla

Elon uses / abuses the Tesla in many ways.

Musk in an 'empty handed' pose. For some reason he makes that pose a lot.

Practically all we do with electronics is in one way or another a direct result of Tesla's work.
All musk seems to do is hire some clever monkeys who slap together existing principles for a wage.
I don't see ANY revolutionary stuff as a result from Musk's part. He just puts money on the table and his minions slave away to build horribly inefficient e-cars. The energy companies are the ones who really like this as Musk's BS have a heavy toll on the energy grid and the demand for electricity that these cars have to is all a heavy load on the grid.

First the energy is converted to charge batteries and in that conversion is a big loss to get it to the level to charge the batteries. while charging the batteries also generate heat. (yet another loss) then on a cold day the batteries are less efficient (more loss) and on a hot day, the batteries can't dissipate the heat very well, so they must be cooled (more loss) the energy itself needs to be converted to the levels to be used by the motors, (more loss, more heat), the motors also get hot (more loss). And in the car the 'entertainment section' is also a very inefficient package. with a lot of bling that makes the people who invested a big sum in this BS feel 'special' so they show off on the road (wasting even more energy)

Nikola Tesla would have done the opposite.

Musk is just a bullshit artist snake oil salesman just like that greedy Edison figure.

Tesla's name should not even be on that car. And that's the biggest abuse.

Renault's Twizy, is also Tesla-tech slapped together, but it at least is not as big of a useless waste as the Elon-tronics farce. Add to that that Elon also has his power-wall / solar panel thing that is just as inefficient as the car. The people who bought that are mainly turning the sun rays into even more heat.
So all Musk is doing is making global warming finally the problem that it never was BEFORE Elon started his circus act.

And no I'm not at all against electronic cars. I actually like them. Less noise, less particles in the air.

The Musk-Mobile however is not on my wishlist, it looks 'nice' like any other 'well designed' car, but it's the inside that counts, the stuff that goes on under the hood. And wasting energy should not be a feature in a modern car. Musk gives out the wrong signals when it comes to this.

He could have aimed his money on saving energy and still offer a car that looks awesome. But as Musk is in the energy market himself, selling solar panels. People will need to have a big roof as well to keep the Musk show on the road.

Musk however aims at the people who have the most money to spend on the least amount of goods. And that itself is another deal breaker. As the least amount of jobs are offered to build these Musk-mobiles.

And more empty hands that waste energy by the truckloads.
