The surprising thing I heard was the current episode of EVTV. Not just about the Model 3 (12¢/kWh at the Supercharger):
- How Jack Rickard predicted in 1998 you could order a car on Internet and have it delivered to your house, then did that with his Model S.
- How others see the Supercharger network as a 'cost', while people won't buy a car if they 'can't drive it to California'.
- How nobody can catch Tesla at this point on batteries, charger network or solar panels.
- How Jack has turned the corner on autonomous vehicles (better than humans on average will be good enough)
But the thing that really caught my attention is the Nvidia PX2.
The world's first Teraflop computer was built in 1996 in Beaverton, OR. It was 76 server cabinets. Every Tesla off the assembly line in the last year or two has had an Nvidia PX2 embedded in it. Those have
eight Teraflops. He compares to a 5-year-old Power Mac ($20K fully loaded). It's worth 150 of those.
Mind blown. There has to be a wrecking yard that contains more computing power than some University.
