Its Tesla day! Whether you think Elon Musk is a technological savior or the next Lex Luthor, theres bound to be some interesting news at todays much-anticipated Battery Day from Tesla. And you can start streaming this event around 1:30 p.m. PT today, but youll probably be safe tuning in a bit later.
I didnt make the name, nor am I making assumptions about the excitement surrounding whatevers cooking up. In fact, Im pretty sure that Teslas stock price has been a see-saw recently, between those who think Battery Day is going to be some monumental disclosure and those who arent nearly as caught up in whatever were calling Teslas reality distortion field.
Will I be tuning in? I cant afford a Tesla, but Im curious what kind of battery technology the company might be cooking up. Thats because I refuse to buy an electric car until it can go at least as far as my hybrid with a full tank of gas. Lease? Sure. Buy? Never; or, at least, I wont buy an electric vehicle until battery tech improves quite a bit. I dont want said car to plummet in value or annoy me every day I drive it, when everyone else with a newer vehicle can go 1,000+ miles on a single charge.
Yes, were not there yet. Someday, though, we will be, and Im willing to wait it out a bit longer. But enough about me. To see what Elon plans to announce today, you need merely hit up Teslas website starting at 1:30 p.m. PT. Youll have to suffer through the companys 2020 stockholder meeting first (ugh), but the Battery Day festivities should kick off right after that. I dont have an expected time for the latter, so youll probably want to start tuning in around 2:30 p.m. PT or so just to be safe.
Tesla doesnt seem to have a YouTube stream for the event, so youll have to set your own reminder to make sure you dont miss out today. And dont expect any more hints from Elon about what Tesla will unveil beyond what he shared on Twitter yesterday (which wasnt much):
Hey, maybe well get to see the machine that makes the batteries, though. Thats exciting, right?read more
