The Future of Transportation
Economy | Information | History | Online | Facts | World | Global | Money
Presented at the 2015 Vail Global Energy Forum by JB Straubel, Chief Technology Officer, Tesla Motors Inc. Panel Discussion Moderated By: Stefan Heck. Panelists Include: Ned Curic, Sunil Paul, JB Straubel and Pete Trelenberg. See more presentations at http://bit.ly/1ibqqHy. The Vail Global Energy Forum (VGEF) is dedicated to the search for solutions to one of the most pressing issues of our time – how to produce enough clean, cost-efficient energy from reliable sources to power our global economy which will also develop breakthrough energy solutions of the future. VGEF continues to examine the challenges of energy supply, energy security and the impact of energy usage, which will shape transitions now underway and in the decades to come.

So much for the "free energy" promise. Tesla will be limiting owners to 400 kWh per YEAR of free SuperCharging starting Apr 2017, or ~800.000 cars ahead of schedule

I could see Tesla making a lot of money from their Superchargers. I think Model 3 drivers will pay for Supercharger. I hope so, as I want to see Tesla flourish.

Toyata's hydrogen cell will NOT work, not because the technologies dont work, but because hydrogen is SUPER HARD as fuck to make, store and use safely. It takes WAY too much effort, resources and money to make it work, which is counter productive and by the time they make most cars hydrogen powered, the fossil fuel used would drown us in sea water. LMAO.

I can't believe what the exxon guy said about a 5% max electric fleet by 2040...

I think that all the panel members contributed well to the discussion. Different perspectives, tactics, and goals. My own perspective aligns more closely to JB Straubel's, of course.
-
wish Elon was on the panel, he would have told Toyota straight that hydrogen is super stupid.

Not a fan of not owning your own car.

The question asked to all of them basically was what are new things you doing in the future. JB answered this, no doubt. The Exxon guy said nothing, he just gave oil/gas consumption forecasts. Toyota guy was comatose. Tesla is the only one that gave all sorts of new things and ideas of combining photovoltaic and battery tech on individual houses and EV cars completely removing the need for using oil/gas for household transport.

Good talk but the video only shows the "talking head". It was frustrating to not be able to see any of his slides.

TESLA's are great cars.... safe, clean, fast, fun and beautiful........ electric cars are the future.......
We can deal with the cause of Climate Change (fossil fuels) or we will deal with the impact.........

Electric vehicles are the future....... safe, clean, fast, fun.....

TIL: Toyota's powertrain strategy was last updated in 1992 and has not been reevaluated since then.
-
I was somewhat surprised at how forward looking the guy from Exxon Mobile was. I think he underestimates the amount of market penetration by fully electric cars, and as a result, his estimates for oil demand are too high, but other than that I think he's just about spot on.
Also, those numbers about cost per mile of different types of cars are absolutely mind blowing. $0.09/mile for a shared, electric, autonomous vehicle? This is going to completely change the urban landscape. Surface parking will be gone, roads will be narrower, and traffic will be non-existent. Imagine what the city of the future is going to look like. -
Toyota guy sounds like he is asleep compared to the energy in JB's presentation
-
Hydrogen is more dangerous than gas, what are they thinking at Toyota?
-
Tesla is the only company here building the future of transportation not Uber, sidecar. After JB's talk it all sounds like a bunch of monkeys blabbering
-
Toyota seems to be mainly betting on hydrogen and abandoning electric cars. The CEO recently said that electric cars cant satisfy consumer wants.
