Tesla revealed in early May that it had begun collecting short video clips from the cameras found on Model S and Model X vehicles that are equipped with the Autopilot 2.0 hardware suite. The announcement was made through an over-the-air software update, and ahead of the recent ‘smooth as silk’ Autopilot update, that prompted drivers with a new Data Sharing policy. “We are working hard to improve autonomous safety features and make self-driving a reality for you as soon as possible.” read the firmware notes. “In order to do so, we need to collect short video clips using the car’s external cameras to learn how to recognize things like lane lines, street signs and traff…

Graphic artist Jan Peisert of Peisert Design dreamed up his own interpretation of the Model Y, after Tesla CEO Elon Musk revealed the first teaser image of the electric compact SUV at the company’s recent 2017 Annual Shareholder meeting. Peisert built upon Tesla’s shadowy Model Y rendering using Photoshop. Referencing a photo of a silver Model 3, the digital artist seemingly invokes magic through a sequence of Photoshop tweaks and tricks that merged a Model X’s flared stance and Model 3’s front fascia before arriving at a beautiful rendition of a Model Y. And it was all captured in a time-lapse video we embedded below. Peisert was not willing to evolve along wit…

This story was originally published on EVANNEX. Renowned mutual fund manager and investment icon Ron Baron of Baron Capital is well-known for his conservative, long-term approach to stock picking. He’s been compared to Warren Buffett (both for his investing style and outstanding track record) and has said that Tesla “may be the most interesting” company he’s ever invested in over his 46 year career. Yesterday, CNBC interviewed Baron for his views on Tesla [NASDAQ: TSLA]. What is his forecast for the stock? “I think it is going to be about $500 to $600 next year, and I think it is going to be $1,000 in 2020.” At that time, Baron said, he expects the company to ha…

As the Harvard Women’s Health Watch reported, “Dozens of studies have shown that people who have satisfying relationships with family, friends and their community are happier, have fewer health problems, and live longer.” In a study of 7,000 men and women in Alameda County, Calif., begun in 1965, Lisa F. Berkman and S. Leonard Syme found that “people who were disconnected from others were roughly three times more likely to die during the nine-year study than people with strong social ties,” John Robbins recounted in his marvelous book on health and longevity, “Healthy at 100.” This major difference in survival occurred regardless of people’s age, gender, health …

HBO’s Vice News unpacked details behind Tesla Energy’s recent installation of a huge solar energy plant on the Hawaiian island of Kauai. Similar to the Tesla-SolarCity microgrid built on the island of Ta’u, the sustainable energy system at Kauai’s combines the use a 52 megawatt-hour commercial Tesla Powerpack 2 battery system with a 13 megawatt solar farm. Hawaii was an early adopter in clean technology due to the unfavorable energy costs at the island state. It currently relies on fossil fuels to produce 90% of its energy, while importing 100% of that energy. This means the state imports $5-6 billion per year in energy, driving the cost of household island living up sev…

A new set of Tesla Model 3 images made its way into Imgur today via the Tesla subreddit, this time giving us a glimpse at Model 3’s folding rear seats. Photos of the gorgeous blue Model 3 were reportedly taken from Tesla’s Fremont Warehouse located off of Kato Road and 1.5 mi (2.5 km) from the company’s main factory in Fremont, California. Looking at the photos, one can make out what appears to be a 60/40 split fold-down rear seat configuration similar to what’s found in the Model S and Model X. Two latches can be identified on the vehicle’s rear deck which is presumably used for the rear seats. Photo credit: almosttan Tesla recently revealed through a side-by-s…

Germany-based Berenberg has upgraded Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) to a ‘Buy’ rating from ‘Hold’, citing the Elon Musk-led electric car maker has a ‘near-monopolistic opportunity’ and won’t face mass-market EV competition from traditional manufacturers. The firm also raised Tesla’s price forecast from $193 to $464, representing a near 30% rally from Monday’s close. Berenberg’s Alexander Haissl explains in a note to clients sent Monday that big automakers looking to enter the electric vehicle space have ‘no clear pathway to high-volume EV production’, as they face a steep uphill battle against Silicon Valley-based Tesla. First deliveries of Tesla’s mass market Model 3 that’s seen a…
