The Tesla Model 3 total cost of ownership over 5-years is now even less than a Toyota Camry. The Tesla Semi is also reportedly getting even better range than first estimated. It will be interesting to see the total cost of ownership for that vehicle vs a traditional rig.
In other news:
Tesla Solar just relaunched. Now you can rent your solar panels? The details to the program are interesting. This week also saw information on Tesla's patents for curved and textured solar roof tiles. So rented panels for existing roofs and multiple tile-types for new solar roof installs seems to be the plan.
SpaceX's next two Falcon 9 launches will be for StarLink satellite launches. Interesting detail from the article was that 10-15% of the first 60 StarLink satellites have been decommissioned. That's a high number even if some of those decommissioned were planned "failures" to test certain procedures.
Future SpaceX launches (much further down the road) will utilize Starship to establish a base on Mars. This is the future I was promised as a kid!
And finally - Tesla Roadster with Starman completes its first orbit around the sun. Who knew but there is actually a WhereisRoadster website that allows you to track the now iconic vehicle as it travels through space. This year went by fast!
