Tesla Motors Bumps Up Electric Mileage On Its Vehicles Again!

Tesla made a huge update on its Design Studio adding options for a 100D version of both the Model S and the Model X that utilize a 100 kWh battery pack to boost the range further

Tesla Motors Inc is aggressively attacking the problem that experts say have so far capped electric vehicle sales for the overall industry to shoot: electric drive range. Electric car fans have shown anxiety over the possibility of their vehicles running out of electric charge before the vehicle hits a charging point, leaving the market for plug-in vehicles still mostly to hybrid vehicles in the past.

Tesla’s advent though, and its two performance vehicles; the Model S and the Model X have changed perceptions drastically with unprecedented electric drive range, enough to ease the ‘range anxiety’ among electric car enthusiasts.

As if the range of Tesla’s cars was still not enough, the company recently made a massive update on its Design Studio adding options for a 100D version of the both the Model S and the Model X that utilize a 100 kWh battery pack to boost the range even further.

For a standard non-performance version of the Model S, the 100D version takes the range to a staggering 335 miles on a single charge. For the Model X, the same option bumps the range to just under 300 miles. For a vehicle weighing over 2.5 tons – that feat is truly commendable - and hard to beat.

Notably, Tesla’s CEO Elon Musk has said the company would likely stop at the 100 kWh battery pack as there apparently restrictions to how large the battery pack can be to fit inside a vehicle.

But in comes Tesla’s new ‘2170’ cell technology that packs a higher energy density and carried more electric charge per unit of space compared to the older cylindrical 18650 cell technology. The newer batteries – already in production at the Gigafactory – are solely to credit for, for the upgraded Powerwall energy storage device that carries almost twice the storage capacity as its original predecessor.

With time, there are expectations Tesla might dump the 18650 cell technology altogether, even for its electric cars which open the possibility for even a 400 mile plus Tesla electric car!

Report: World’s 1st remote brain surgery via 5G network performed in China

World’s 1st remote brain surgery via 5G network performed in China Published time: 17 Mar, 2019 13:12 ·           A Chinese surgeon has performed the world’s first remote brain surgery using 5G technology, with the patient 3,000km away from the operating doctor. Dr. Ling Zhipei remotely implanted a neurostimulator into his patient’s brain on Saturday, Chinese state-run media  reports . The surgeon manipulated the instruments in the Beijing-based PLAGH hospital from a clinic subsidiary on the southern Hainan island, located 3,000km away. The surgery is said to have lasted three hours and ended successfully. The patient, suffering from Parkinson’s disease, is said to be feeling well after the pioneering operation. The doctor used a computer connected to the next-generation 5G network developed by Chinese tech giant Huawei. The new device enabled a near real-time connection, according to Dr. Ling.  “You barely feel that the patient is 3,000 kilometers away,”  he said.

Visualizing The Power Of The World's Supercomputers

Visualizing The Power Of The World's Supercomputers   BY TYLER DURDEN FRIDAY, JAN 21, 2022 - 04:15 AM   A supercomputer is a machine that is built to handle billions, if not trillions of calculations at once. Each supercomputer is actually made up of many individual computers (known as nodes) that work together in parallel. A common metric for measuring the performance of these machines is  flops , or  floating point operations per second . In this visualization,  Visual Capitalist's Marcus Lu uses  November 2021 data from  TOP500  to visualize the computing power of the world’s top five supercomputers. For added context, a number of modern consumer devices were included in the comparison. Ranking by Teraflops Because supercomputers can achieve over one quadrillion flops, and consumer devices are much less powerful, we’ve used  teraflops  as our comparison metric. 1 teraflop = 1,000,000,000,000 (1 trillion) flops. Supercomputer Fugaku  was completed in March 202

BMW traps alleged thief by remotely locking him in car

BMW traps alleged thief by remotely locking him in car Stealer's Wheel? Seattle police department quotes "Watchmen" movie in a recap of the recent arrest. Tech Culture by Gael Fashingbauer Cooper December 4, 2016 5:00 PM PST It's maybe the most satisfying arrest we can imagine. Seattle police caught an alleged car thief by enlisting the help of car maker BMW to both track and then remotely lock the luckless criminal in the very car he was trying to steal. Jonah Spangenthal-Lee, deputy director of communications for the Seattle Police Department, posted a witty summary of the event on the SPD's blog on Wednesday. Turns out if you're inside a stolen car, it's perhaps not the best time to take a nap. "A car thief awoke from a sound slumber Sunday morning (Nov. 27) to find he had been remotely locked inside a stolen BMW, just as Seattle police officers were bearing down on him," Spangenthal-Lee wrote. The suspect found a ke
