In practice, what Tesla is doing is installing large battery packs to eliminate peaks in the grids. People can charge them however they want.listening to a clip of Elon Musk explaining if you take 125 square miles of unused desert in Nevada and covered it in solar panels that it would power the entire USA, I've heard that several times before.
It's amazing how much research is going into making better batteries!

It's as if you think this thread has -something- to do with flashlight batteries.Depends on your point of view. My kids toy cars have had graphene ''nano'' batteries for at least 5 years now.
I'll take whatever we can get, but flashlights are still just flashlights. Not exactly breakthroughs as they evolve.

CTOL testing on this airframe and hover testing on a second airframe right now. Getting hours on both airframes before transition testing, but it’s not too far out. With the FAA guidelines being a moving target at the moment, the road to certification on an Alia in airplane mode is a lot shorter than the VTOL approach.@KC3KNM , are they using the VTOL for this craft yet? The video pretty much showed it taking off & landing like a regular plane.
Alia is a sweet looking craft! When a VTOL video is available let us know.CTOL testing on this airframe and hover testing on a second airframe right now.

Progress and breakthroughs are found by looking up and to the right.
