Tesla Investor Day Recap – The Good and the Future of Electric Cars

     Image: Tesla


Investor day has come and gone, and some people see it as a letdown and other see opportunities. Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, announced a new Gigafactory will be built in Monterrey Mexico and showed an image of the current state of Tesla, vehicle wise, and a few covered items we have not seen yet.

 

Over Tesla’s existence they have sold a lot of cars and the roadmap looks amazing in our opinion. The Cyber Truck is still on its way and Tesla is making progress on the semi-truck too. The 2 vehicles we see under tarps are what people have been questioning about. What can these items be? A small car maybe a SmartCar size? Possibly a larger ATV that is similar to the forgotten Cyberquad? Regardless of it will be something new and shiny that may take years to be released to the public.

All in all, the biggest tease of the entire event is the possibility for a wireless charging option for Tesla’s. This makes sense for a new “gimmick” that Tesla could offer. The ability to pull in your garage and your just charges on its own is something out of Apple’s playbook in my opinion. Other automakers have gained interest in the wireless charging due to ease of us, but this feature is one that can have a lot of headaches. The logistics alone seem out of reach in the current state of charging large vehicles.

The final thought on the event is the next generation Gigafactory. The plant in Mexico is said to manufacture around 3 million vehicles a year. The plan for this plant is to make the “cheaper” vehicle that teased during the event. We do not have any information so far on this plant and the only date we are given is 2024. If it is like anything Elon does, the pant may take a lot longer to complete than expected.

Image
           Image Source: Steam Rocksteady Studios has been extremely business the last few years. I use the term busy lightly. They are responsible for the Batman Arkham Knight hits that were released what seems well over a decade ago, 2015 to be exact. After a long time coming, long time meaning back in 2020 after the  Twitter tease , we are finally going to get the release of Suicide Squad Kill the Justice League. The official release date is now set to be on May 26th 2023. We have some details regarding what characters will be available. A lot of publishers and game studios a like put delays on their titles due to Covid but after 3 years the game will be ready to release. The fans are ready for a gritty, anti-hero story and can't wait to get their hands on it. As we all know with CyberPunk 2077, the longer you wait, the riskier the reward. Although,  Hogwarts Legacy was delayed  a bit and the title has been nothing but a hit regardless of what the media is telling you because th

              Image : Valve Steam Deck Valve is known for its software and game delivery platform Steam. After years of trying to get the hardware right from the Steam Machine to the Steam Link , Valve has finally hit a home run with the Steam Deck. The Steam Deck is easily described as the "PC Nintendo Switch" like gaming handheld. Although people are calling it the “Switch Killer ”, this handheld is in a whole different category.       Device Specs   Processor   The Steam Deck is sporting a custom AMD/APU combo. CPU: Zen 2 4c/8t, 2.4-3.5GHz (up to 448  GFlops  FP32), GPU: 8 RDNA 2 CUs, 1.0-1.6GHz (up to 1.6  TFlops  FP32), APU power: 4-15W.    Display   Since the Steam Deck is a portal device it makes sense that it would have a small display. The screen is a 7in, 1200 x 800px (aspect ratio) with a 60Hz refresh rate. This display is only capable of 720p but it is more than enough for the form factor. The Deck has been compared to lacking in the display department consideri
