Tesla Battery Day

 Tesla Battery Day

I have been saying for some time now that Tesla has the entire automotive industry in check-mate, and after having watched Tesla's Battery Day I am even more certain of this fact.

Tesla Graphene Battery?

Tesla Graphene Battery?
There has been much guesswork and speculation about what Elon Musk will be showcasing at the Tesla Battery Investor Day coming up in early April. Many people believe that Graphene may play a significant role in the next generation of Tesla batteries and this video offers a great technical overview of the technology and its history.

Sean Mitchell: Tesla Solid State Batteries...

Sean Mitchell
Do You Want To Know A Secret?
Sean Mitchell gives a great presentation, and at the end almost spills the beans about the upcoming Tesla Battery Day. But what is the secret? I believe Tesla there is very high likelyhood Tesla will be announcing in early April that they have successfully developed and figured out how to mass produce solid state batteries. There are so many signs and clues that point to this fact, like the fact Dyson invested hundreds of millions of Pounds to develop solid state batteries, then suddenly abandoned the project for no apparent reason. I think it's because James Dyson learned that Tesla already had the dry battery technology locked down. 

John B. Goodenough: Inventor of the Lithium Battery Wins Nobel Price in Chemistry 2019 At Age 97

Inventor of the Lithium Battery

Wins Nobel Price in Chemistry 2019

At Age 97

John B. Goodenough is the inventor of RAM as well as the Lithium-ion Battery, and he recently was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry. There is evidence to suggest that he and some of his team members have come up with a new generation of battery, which might involve a brand new solid-state battery that could charge a Tesla faster than the time it would take to fill up an internal combustion engine with gasoline. It has also been put forth that this new battery architecture would not suffer from charging degradation.


When recently notified he was the winner of the 2019 Nobel Prize John said: 
"We are working on how to develop a polymer which has an immobilized liquid in it so it conducts lithium or sodium as fast as in the liquid, and the liquid is immobilized so it is like a solid state material."
You can read John Goodenough's white paper on glass batteries named "Alternative Strategy for a Safe Rechargeable Battery".  

"Climate change is coming from the burning of fossil fuels—of course. That is known, and we also know that is not a sustainable option. I think the lithium-ion battery people are trying very hard with the lithium-ion battery to do electric cars. It always was a problem because you cannot charge them too fast or you plate lithium on the carbon and then you have all the problems with dendrites and fires. But, we need electric cars. We need to find a way to emancipate ourselves from our dependence upon the burning of fossil fuels. Our people are working in that direction and they'll get there. —John B. Goodenough

New Aluminum Battery Technology Could Give Tesla Model S 500 Mile Range

Stanford University New Aluminum Battery Technology Could Give Tesla Model S 500 Mile Range + Fully Charge Batteries In 5 Minutes
Stanford University has developed an Aluminum/Carbon battery technology that essentially doubles the capacity of standard lithium-ion batteries in the same space, while allowing a Model S to be fully charged in less than 5 minutes!!!!!

What does this mean for Tesla and the automotive world? First and foremost, range anxiety would become a thing of the past by offering 500 miles between charges, and it also means a Supercharger could charge up a Model S in less than 5 minutes. So basically, gas stations could also offer electricity, with the exception that instead of costing $70 to fill a car tank, it would cost around $5!!!
Also, these aluminum batteries can be charged up to 7,500 times without any loss in capacity, which is 750% longer than a lithium-ion battery!
This technology is still in its nascent stages, but shows great promise, and is probably the technology that will force the auto industry to move much more quickly to electric. Also, the Tesla Gigafactory could likely convert from manufacturing lithium batteries to aluminum/carbon batteries.
Also, imagine what this could do for laptops!?! I would give a laptop 24 hours of charge time, and could be charged to full in 5 minutes!!!! I could also give an iPhone a 3-4 day charge!!!
