The Ledger
Every statement that passed quotation and attribution checks. Mix any filter with any other: certainty 1/5, debate potential 5/5, or both at once.
why aren't all 5 resolved? a statement only gets an assessment when the public record can support or contradict it. opinions and what-ifs never can, and 0 checkable ones are still open, waiting for their date. predictions held up or didn't; assertions are supported or contradicted. on every card: ▮▮▮▮▮ certainty · ▮▮▮▮▮ debate potential. speakers are clickable
Baglino: Tesla excluded nuclear and geothermal from Master Plan due to costs
“It was a little bit of a complexity, and also the, if you took the best known cost of all those technologies and just stuck them into the optimizer wouldn't pick them, is, is really what it comes down to.”
Baglino: Heron Link eliminates transformers and capacitors from solar diagrams
“What we remove from the single line diagram is we remove the legacy transformer. We remove that six, 90 volt, you know, breaker or fuses protection there. And we also, because we don't have that medium voltage transformer anymore with the inductance of that me…”
Baglino: Silicon carbide doubled the power density of Tesla onboard chargers
“And so we really wanted to make the onboard charger smaller, so we used these early silicon carbide devices to make the onboard charger. Yeah, I think we reduced, increased its power density by, like, a factor of two. We dramatically reduced its cost.”
Tesla Excluded Long-Duration Energy Storage From Master Plan Due to Data Gaps
“We didn't really include long duration energy storage in this paper at all, because we don't have access to any third party costs, numbers that we can, you know, really depend on, or performance.”
Baglino: Tesla Master Plan Soaks Up Curtailed Power With Hydrogen and EV Charging
“We're doing hydrogen and storing hydrogen in the summer and then using that hydrogen to produce clean fuels on a, on an annualized basis and also using that hydrogen for Ammonia production and steel and other things. And so we are trying to do some things to l…”
