1/ “During WWII, Navy tried to determine where they needed armor in planes. They ran an analysis of where planes had been shot up, and came up with this. The places that needed to be up-armored are wingtips, central body, and elevators. That’s where the planes were getting shot

1/ New chemistry breakthrough just published by Jeff Dahn. @Tesla lead battery researcher. 1M vehicle miles, 795Wh/L, with fast charge and subsequent 20yr durability projected in grid. The data is amazing. jes.ecsdl.org/content/166/13…

3/ The Navy thought it was analyzing where aircraft were suffering most. What they did was analyze where aircraft could suffer the most damage without catastrophic failure. All of the places that weren’t hit? They weren’t looking at the whole sample set, only the survivors”

Request For Startup: a Netflix like subscription startup that gives people $12/no access to all scientific papers out there. Most scientists, doctors, entrepreneurs would pay for it and it would open up knowledge everywhere! I bet publishers would make more $ this way

2/ Wald (statistician) disagreed. He thought they should armor nose, engines, mid-body, which was crazy, of course. That’s not where the planes were getting shot. Except Mr. Wald realized what the others didn’t. The planes were getting shot there too, but weren’t making it home.

5/ I am shocked they are open sourcing it as a model chemistry! It means they probably have an improved version and even if they don't it gives @tesla a MASSIVE battery price performance edge over all EV competitors. I am not BS'ing when I say this ❤️

The way metal parts will look in the 2020’s. Achieved through metal 3DP and generative design.30-50% lighter, greener and using less parts and materials. Mass customized to ea local market and built without tooling and inventory of 1. This is the 4th industrial revolution 🕶🚀

4/ This chemistry eliminates most of the cobalt, improves energy, charge rate and more importantly allows a larger SOC swing (much lower cost & weight) and does this with a 5X life improvement!

3/ Second life of these packs will change the nature of the grid in the future. As a former battery exec this data is very, very impressive. Thanks @BrianTHeligman for pointing me to the paper! And huge kudos to Jeff and the Dallhausie team for pulling this off.

2/ This means @tesla will be able to expand the SOC swing of the battery to go to 400 miles or reduce its cost!
