Harvey needs to learn to read for comprehension:
"Tesla said that the major factor affecting Q2 deliveries was a severe production shortfall of 100 kWh battery packs, which are made using new technologies on new production lines. Until early June, production averaged about 40% below demand. Once this was resolved, June orders and deliveries were strong, ranking as one of the best in its history, Tesla said."
The key word, Harvery, is "resolved". Now be a good boy and stay quiet to be thought a fool rather than removing all doubt.
Tesla blames production shortfall of 100 kWh battery packs for lagging Q2 deliveries; says problem fixed; first Model 3s to be delivered 28 July
Tesla reported delivering just over 22,000 vehicles in Q2, of which just over 12,000 were Model S and just over 10,000 were Model X. While the Q2 2017 deliveries represent a 53% increase over Q2 2016, the figure is at the low-end of Tesla’s earlier guidance, and down about 12% from Q1 2017 deliv...

Hello Change,
The war is between evidentiary reality and Republicans with Trump leading the charge against science.
The clock is rapidly advancing toward midnight because of AGW denial on the right. We all need to make monetary decisions to ditch oil use starting now. My wife and I have been doing so since the 1980s.

This could have been titled drivers save 80% out of 100% of energy savings. So more efficient cars do work and we just need to keep moving down that path.
UK study finds fifth of car fuel-efficiency savings eroded by increased driving; long-term rebound effect
Around a fifth of the energy-saving benefits of fuel-efficient cars are eroded because people end up driving them more, according to a study into British motoring habits over the last 40 years. Using data from 1970 to 2011, energy experts at the University of Sussex found a long-term rebound ...
And here I thought that ten TRILLION dollars was a "massive" price in itself.
Silly me.
$10-Trillion Investment Needed To Avoid Massive Oil Price Spike Says OPEC
by Nick Cunningham of Oilprice.com OPEC says that $10 trillion worth of investment will need to flow into oil and gas through 2040 in order to meet the world’s energy needs. The OPEC published its World Oil Outlook 2015 (WOO) in late December, which struck a much more pessimistic note on the sta...
Hello ai vin,
What is their interest? To sell fossil fuels.
Report finds road transportation sector in Canada likely to fall far short of 2050 GHG emissions reduction target
A new Conference Board of Canada report finds that Canada is unlikely to achieve an 80% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions from 1990 levels by 2050. Even when taking into account reduced distances traveled per vehicle, improvements in fuel efficiency, and greater market penetration of altern...
"The report was funded by the Canadian Fuels Association and is publicly available from The Conference Board of Canada’s e-Library."
I will take this study with a huge grain of salt.

Contrary to this uninformed anonymous posters comment the models have been very good. It is only if you are a fan of conservative propaganda sources that you could make such assertions.

Controlling costs just sucks money out of the overall economy unless you think government goes into a black hole and is never spent in local businesses.

kit P,
Prove you do "calculations" (whatever THOSE are) for "nuke" plants. Your prior posts are barely literate and hardly what a professional would write. I think you are lying and not to be taken seriously. Prove me wrong.

Working paper argues new US energy efficiency regulations are ineffective at GHG reduction and incorrectly override consumer preference

Kit P,
Why would you trust the calculations of a commercial for profit website? What externality costs have they left out of their simple payback calculations?

Brookings is a propaganda arm of the Republican party. Designed to give the impression of academic integrity without having it. Shame on ANY university for whoring themselves out to lend credibility to Brookings.
