Evidence for an Extreme Cooling Event Prior to the Laschamp Geomagnetic Excursion in Eifel Maar Sediments
Phases of increased and supra-local flood activity coincide with Heinrich stadials in marine sediment records,
Flood frequency remained high throughout all Heinrich stadials,
Flood deposition was caused by a decline in stabilizing vegetation cover due to detrimental climate conditions and increased water supply from heavy rains or seasonal snowmelt,
Periods of high slumping activity occurred during the early MIS 3 warm phase, at 43,500 yr b2k and subsequent to GI3,
The slumping event at 43,500 b2k (ACE) led to the formation of a prominent fractured, breccia-like sediment texture with a preservation of lamination within individual rotated blocks, indicating that the sediment was solidified due to deep frost conditions during GS12,
The timing of the ACE coincides with the initial onset of the Laschamp geomagnetic excursion [32,33,34].
Although a definite connection between the ACE and the Laschamp event cannot be proven, their simultaneous timing seems intriguing. Nonetheless, the severely cold climate conditions during GS12, as well as the environmental impacts of the Laschamp and the Campanian Ignimbrite events, must have presented major challenges for European populations [66,67,68,69] and are quite likely responsible for the demise of the Neanderthals and the subsequent domination of anatomically modern humans.
A 2021 study connects the Laschamps excursion to climate upheaval, extinction events, and even changes to human behavior. The scientists hypothesized that during a time when Earth’s magnetic field was weaker than normal, increased solar and cosmic radiation was able to penetrate Earth’s atmosphere, altering ozone levels and driving global climate shifts and extinctions.
But Schmidt says this study is speculative at best. “Where is the evidence for any changes in climate 42,000 years ago that are associated with extinctions? There are no shifts in the ice cores. We know that there was a lot of climate variability over the last ice age, and we have it pretty well-timed, none of it lines up with this magnetic excursion.”

Bad news for Mars-bound astronauts – cosmic rays damage your GI tract
In more bad news for future voyagers to Mars, a team of scientists at the Georgetown University Medical Center (GUMC) has found the kind of Galactic Cosmic Radiation (GCR) that astronauts will encounter on long space voyages can cause heavy damage to their gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Using animal tissue bombarded by artificial cosmic ray particles, the researchers found that the radiation produces both immediate and long term health problems.
Decades of investigation into the field of space medicine has revealed that space is much more hostile to the human body than once thought. This is especially true of the hazards posed by prolonged exposure to cosmic radiation during long deep-space missions, such as to the planet Mars.
These hazards include increased risks of cancers such as leukemia, damage to the brain and nervous tissue, as well as general radiation sickness. But now it appears that even the GI tract can be affected, with immediate damage to the digestive system and long term danger of increased cancer risks.

The Adams Event and the Origins of Cave Art
Thursday Feb 18, 2021
How do the geomagnetic changes during the Adams Event, 42,000 years ago, spur the start of figurative Cave Art?
I talk to Dr Leslie Van Gelder, an expert in cave art about early human behaviour, caves, and red ochre sunscreen!
What does carbon do to warm the earth? It holds in radiation. Thus radiation is the problem not necessarily CO2. This is why Bill Gates is/was pushing for chemtrailing the skies to help block that incoming radiation. The problem with the whole CO2 is causing warming concept is that this assumes that incoming energy levels are consistent and this more CO2 would hold more of the radiation. However this is not the case as more solar and cosmic radiation is being allowed into the atmosphere as the earths magnetic field weakens.
Besides Carbon Dioxide is good for the plants.
As the magnetic field weakens over a 500-600 year period that started 300 years ago, more solar maximum, galactic-cosmic radiation flux (GCRF) reaches the planet and produces global warming, on top of anthropocentric global warming contributions, creating a greenhouse earth without ice at the poles, Greenland, or glaciers. • The warming exponentially increases atmospheric moisture and decreases polar and glacier ice; sea level rises and climate change is magnified.
Please do not listen to that advice that you're giving to others. This stock seems to tell that its price is getting ready for lower level yet unknown before at this time.
The last low was at $101.81 We are in uncharted territory as to how low it settles at... given the current unfavorable times.
We shall see. A lot may depend on long term shareholders financial ability and how tenuous their financial involvements and conditions may be.
I would avoid dispensing advice to those involved in any stock. What do you know about their unique circumstances and situations?
PS: 2 years ago almost 50% of shares in my Port was Tesla. Had I not diversified it with top ranking Mag Seven stock shares, last year, I would be in big trouble because of Tesla. Long term holding of shares in one or few stocks is high risk. It makes little or no sense. A balanced portfolio of several dozens of higher ranking stocks a better choice. GLTA
Just on April 15th I told you I was seeing $152 for Tesla share price. You have it already at the $150 level.
Still seeing everything in green?

So yeah, the stock went from $300.00 to $150.00. The two main pumpers and dumpers (Elon and Cathy Wood) must be dating again. 30% of the institutional investors are gone. He just yesterday announced a new motor to revolutionize the industry. He is building $25,000 RV's. His $25,000 mini houses turned out to really cost close to $100,000 without the land, permits and utilities needed to be piped in. He is about to build service areas consisting of charging stations, restaurants, Childrens playgrounds and he doesn't even have the land, required permitting and all the utilities needed. Cybertrucks doubled in price with half the range and failing as they are driven off the factory lot. Yes Elon is effecting climate change with all his hot air.

Tesla Semi has been pushed ‘well beyond expectations’ by a new customer
https://electrek.co/2024/04/17/tesla-semi-pushed-well-beyond-expectations-new-customer/
Good luck and GOD bless,
LOL
Carbon in the atmosphere is without a doubt one of if not the most important cause of global warming and Tesla is one of if not the most important companies working to reduce global warming by reducing carbon in the atmosphere.
GOD bless,
Carbon is not what is causing climate change. Its not even close to the main greenhouse gas. Whats causing warming is the weakening of the earths magnetic field which allows more radiation (solar and cosmic) into the atmosphere and to the surface (this increase in radiation is causing the melting at the poles). This increases earths energy budget more than anything else. Also that increased radiation causes increased evaporation which causes increased moisture in the atmosphere and is why the ground is drying faster. Increased evaporation causes increased moisture in the lower atmosphere. Creating a thermal blanket. The study, published by emissions data firm Emission Analytics, was released in 2022 but has attracted a wave of attention this week after being cited in a Wall Street Journal op-ed Sunday. Electric vehicles are often heavier than regular gas-powered cars due to the weight of their engines, which can reach 1,850 pounds. The heavier engines place extra weight on the tires and cause them to wear out faster, according to the study. A 1,100-pound engine can cause more than 400 times the emissions as direct exhaust emissions. “But you have this downside of EVs that increases particle pollution. Air pollution is about what we breathe and the health effects,” Molden said, assuring that the toxins in tires have much less impact on climate change than they do on “what we eat and are ingesting.” But after less than 5,000 miles of driving around his Boca Raton neighborhood, Semel was shocked to find some essential — and very expensive — parts were already wearing out. The tires. “If somebody looked at me and said, Mr. Semel, you are going to love this car but in about 7,000 miles you will have to pay 1,400 or 1,500 dollars to replace the tires, I wouldn’t have bought the car,” Semel said. For many drivers of EVs in Florida — the nation’s second largest market for electrical vehicles — premature tire wear has become an unexpected black mark on vehicles promoted as a green climate-friendly option to gas-gulping cars. At EV Garage Miami, a Sweetwater repair shop that services 90 percent electric vehicles, lead technician Jonathan Sanchez said tires are the most frequent thing customers come in about — no matter what model or make of EV they’re driving. Tire mileage can vary widely of course, but he said he frequently changes EV tires at just 8,000 to 10,000 miles — a fourth or even fifth of typical tire wear on a gas-burning car.
Unfortunately, while the lower atmosphere has been warming the upper atmosphere is cooling because the chaotic magnetic field shoots out into space bringing with it plasma from the upper atmosphere. The plasma goes out into space and loses energy. When the magnetic field reconnects the plasma comes back into the upper atmosphere its cooler causing the cooling being observed. Dr Solis' paper covers all this.
Tesla cannot stop this. Nothing can. Meanwhile Teslas cause more pollution to be released into the environment because of how quickly they go through tires. Tires being a bigger cause of pollution compared to tailpipe emissions.
The Upper Atmosphere Is Cooling, Prompting New Climate Concerns
https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=172052469
Meanwhile, EVs pollute more and cost more due to excessive tire wear. Consider having to replace your tires 1-2 times a year instead once every 5 years or so.
========================================
Electric vehicles release more toxic emissions, are worse for the environment than gas-powered cars: study
Electric vehicles release more toxic particles into the atmosphere and are worse for the environment than their gas-powered counterparts, according to a resurfaced study.
It found that brakes and tires on EVs release 1,850 times more particle pollution compared to modern tailpipes, which have “efficient” exhaust filters, bringing gas-powered vehicles’ emissions to new lows.
Today, most vehicle-related pollution comes from tire wear.
Particle pollution from tires is the biggest contributor to vehicle-related emissions.
I have a hard time believing its simply weight that causes EVs to go through tires at, sometimes, an excessive pace. They are not that much heavier to cause the vehicles to go through tires in as little as 5k miles. My guess is it has something to do with the EM radiation that comes off EVs coupled with the metal wire mesh in the tires that also created EM fields.
Increased exposure to these toxins “can increase the risk of health problems like heart disease, asthma, and low birth weight,” according to the New York Department of Health, which noted that pollution from sources including vehicle exhaust can travel long distances from its source and still cause health issues at unhealthy levels.
“A lot of it [chemicals] goes into the soil and water, affecting animals and fish. And we then go and eat the animals and fish, so we are ingesting tire pollution,” Molden added.
New tires every 7,000 miles? Electric cars save gas but tire wear shocks some Florida drivers
Not even better for the environment. The level of the con game associated with Tesla is crazy.

Crudeoil24,
Crude oil and coal contribute hugely to the amount of carbon in the atmosphere. That is one of the most important causes of global warming caused by the greenhouse effect.
We (humans) must convert to green renewable energy resources and uses.
Tesla is one the main leaders in this effort to curb and reverse global warming to to carbon in the atmosphere.

Canada's massive forest fires are huge source of global pollution. Not the fuel powered vehicles.
To curb global rising temperatures, Canada mandated last December that all light-duty vehicles sold by 2035 cannot produce tailpipe pollution.
Heres an example of it being claimed in the media that electromagnetic interference is causing Teslas to drive on their own without driver input. Case study of where this has been observed in other EVs posted below. Video of the Tesla driving itself is here. Incidentally i think that this happened to Ms Chaos Tesla. According to reports the Tesla was seen lurching forward several times before suddenly going into to reverse like seen in this incident. The difference being that this Tesla was already in motion when it glitched.
Video Footage:
For an expert opinion, KXAN took the case to Dragan Djurdjanovic. A professor in mechanical engineering, Djurdjanovic looked into similar allegations against Tesla around 2008. The expert said it's very possible that electromagnetic interference between wires caused the accident.
Not only can low-frequency magnetic fields pose health hazards to human beings, but they can also affect some electric control units (ECUs) in a vehicle. An ECU that consists of Hall-effect sensors located near the battery pack or powertrain modules could be affected by the low-frequency magnetic field if no sufficient shielding is provided.
The electromagnetic interference affects the automobile electronic control system mainly in two ways: one is to affect the input signal of the sensor of the electronic control system, causing distortion and resulting in electric control signal where the ECU output does not match the driver's intention, which leads to the wrong operation of the actuator; the other is to interfere the ECU output signal to result in its deviation, misleading the operation of the actuator.

Toyotas SUA problem wasnt actually floormats...at least most of the time. Seems the Cybertruck has the same EMI issues its other vehicles do. I had hoped its EM shielding exoskeleton would prevent this.
RECREATING THE “STUCK THROTTLE” PROBLEM ON A TOYOTA
While most passenger vehicles older than about 15-20 years controlled the throttle with a cable connected directly from the throttle body to the accelerator pedal, most manufacturers have switched to a fly-by-wire system which takes sensor input from the accelerator pedal and sends that position information to the vehicle’s computer which in turn adjusts the throttle position. This might be slightly cheaper to manufacture, but introduces a much larger number of failure modes to a critical system.
[Colin] is recreating one of those failure modes by introducing an electromagnetic pulse at a specific point on the vehicle’s computer. In the real world, this could be caused by certain forms of EMF potentially including cosmic rays. This introduces a memory fault which the computer doesn’t seem capable of recognizing or clearing. With the right set of circumstances that [Colin] can reliably produce, the computer eventually will drive the throttle fully open, and the condition can only be corrected by power-cycling the vehicle’s computer.
$152 in sight, George!

Tesla Cybertruck Deliveries Halted To Fix an Accelerator Problem That Can Lead to a Crash
Earlier this month, a Cybertruck driver claimed they raised the foot off the accelerator pedal when approaching a curve. However, the truck did not slow down as expected, missing the turn and hitting a light pole. The driver also says they tried to press the brakes but didn't engage. This is weird, considering that Teslas have a brake override that would cut the power when pressing the brake pedal. However, people who use one-pedal driving are less aware that they might press the accelerator instead of the brake pedal. This is a common mistake that has caused several crashes.
It was learned that a speeding Tesla crashed into a fire hydrant at Macarthur Boulevard and Grant Lane Road in Tracy at 9.45pm on Friday night, then crashed into a tree and burst into flames.
Behind their car, their other friends were coming in another car, who tried hard to save their friends, but the car got locked and they could not do anything because of the flames.
I'm begging all of you to NEVER get in a Tesla as long as you live. It started accelerating on its own in a parking garage and my dad lost all control of the car and we ran into a wall at 40 mph. Most horrifying experience of my life.
Jain is one of tens of thousands of Tesla owners who have experienced premature failures of suspension or steering parts, according to a Reuters review of thousands of Tesla documents. The chronic failures, many in relatively new vehicles, date back at least seven years and stretch across Tesla’s model lineup and across the globe, from China to the United States to Europe, according to the records and interviews with more than 20 customers and nine former Tesla managers or service technicians.
Options Traders Target Tesla (TSLA) Stock Amid String of Updates
By: Schaeffer's Investment Research | April 15, 2024
• TSLA has attracted some of the highest options volume over the last 10 days
• The biggest news today is Tesla cutting over 10% of its workforce
Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA) is in the spotlight today, after news that the electric vehicle (EV) giant is cutting over 10% of its global workforce due to slowing demand. The memo to employees was first leaked by online publication Electrek, with chief executive Elon Musk saying "There is nothing I hate more, but it must be done. This will enable us to be lean, innovative and hungry for the next growth phase cycle."
Two top executives left amid the layoffs -- Senior V.P. Drew Baglino and V.P. of public policy and business development Rohan Patel. And according to Bloomberg, the job reductions could reach as much as 20% in some divisions.
Tesla stock is sliding after the news, down 4.8% at $162.81 at last glance. Also weighing on the shares is a price-target cut from Evercore ISI to $155 from $175. In other updates, Tesla is cutting its "Full Self Driving" subscription in half to $99 a month and renaming it “Supervised Full Self Driving," while Musk tweeted that they will soon reveal the custom robotaxi vehicle that's been in the works for years.
Though TSLA is dropping to its lowest levels in nearly a year, support at the $160 level is holding strong. Since the start of 2024, the equity is down 34.3%.
Tesla stock is a regular on Rocky White's list of stocks that have attracted the highest options volume during the last 10 days, topping the list this time around. Over the past two weeks, options bears have pulled ahead with 10,807,657 calls and 11,381,376 puts exchanged during this time. The weekly 4/12 170-strike put saw the most activity.

Bear of the Day: Tesla (TSLA)
By: Zacks Investment Research | April 16, 2024
Adding concern that there may be more downside risk in Tesla’s (TSLA) stock, the innovative automaker announced on Monday that it will be cutting 10% of its workforce as it grapples with a slowdown in EV demand.
More unnerving, is that two key deputies are heading for the door voluntarily and unassociated with the layoffs in Drew Baglino who was the company’s top engineering executive and Senior Vice President along with Rohan Patel who was vice president of pubic policy and buisness development.
Unfortunately, investors who are getting that feeling that TSLA could drop even further this year are not alone as Tesla’s stock lands a Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell) and the Bear of the Day.
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
Declining Earnings Estimates: While there is much speculation and concern as to what caused Baglino and Patel's exit, most concerning is that earnings estimate revisions have continued to decline in the last week despite Tesla’s total sales being forecasted to rise 8% this year and projected to expand another 16% in fiscal 2025 to $120.31 billion.
Still, Tesla’s top line is expanding at a much slower rate than in the past and FY24 EPS estimates have now dropped -33% over the last quarter from projections of $3.83 per share to $2.54 a share. Plus, FY25 EPS estimates have fallen -35% in the last 90 days from expectations of $5.34 per share to $3.47 a share.
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
Unfavorable Zacks ESP: More alarming is that the Zacks ESP (Expected Surprise Indication) indicates Tesla could miss its first quarter earnings expectations next Tuesday, April 23. To that point, the Most Accurate Estimate has Tesla’s Q1 EPS slated at $0.44 and -7% below the Zacks Consensus of $0.47 a share.
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
This comes as Tesla has been short of both top and bottom line expectations in its last two quarterly reports, most recently missing Q4 EPS estimates by -5% in January.
Zacks Investment Research
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
Valuation Concerns: Lastly, Tesla’s stock will not be immune to valuation concerns which may start to mount as the company’s slower growth is leaving TSLA at stretched premiums in terms of price-to-earnings and price-to-sales; without the very lofty expansion trajectories that have offered support.
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
Takeaway
At the moment, Tesla’s stock has an overall “F” VGM Zacks Style Scores grade for the combination of Value, Growth, and Momentum. Furthermore, it looks unlikely that the EV pioneer will be able to offer the upbeat guidance that can cause the market to look the other way if the company does indeed fall short of quarterly expectations again.

I guess THAT is why people are willing to pay tens of thousands extra…
Between the prototype and its production there are many changes, besides the long gap. So I would call it an ‘optimistic’ projection rather than a ‘lie’. If Tesla were able to sell the cyber truck at the low priced anticipated in 2014, imagine the demand! And the opportunity to make money reselling.
Watch beyond the trees, great future ahead, everything can change at any moment now ....

Nikola Tesla was born in 1856 in Smiljan, Croatia, then part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. His father was a priest in the Serbian Orthodox church
and his mother managed the family’s farm. In 1863 Tesla’s brother Daniel was killed in a riding accident.
The shock of the loss unsettled the 7-year-old Tesla, who reported seeing visions—the first signs of his lifelong mental illnesses.

$TSLA, Exclusive: Bill Ford at Mustang Mach-E unveil admits being on Tesla’s turf
Bradley Berman
- Nov. 17th 2019 10:44 pm ET
Minutes after the official unveiling of the Ford Mustang Mach-E,
we jumped into the press scrum surrounding Bill Ford. Electrek asked Ford’s chairman, and Henry Ford’s great-grandson,
if he knew the introduction was taking place one block from Tesla’s design center.
“That’s a coincidence,” he said. And then he flashed a big smile.
Tesla Motors, Inc. (Tesla), incorporated on July 1, 2003, designs, develops, manufactures and sells electric vehicles and advanced electric vehicle powertrain components. Tesla owns its sales and service centers and Supercharger stations. In addition to the Company’s own vehicles, it designs, develops, manufactures, and sells advanced electric vehicle powertrain components to other automotive manufacturers. The Company has provided development services and powertrain components to Daimler AG (Daimler) for its Smart fortwo and A-Class electric vehicles. The Company developed stationary energy storage products for use in homes, commercial sites, and utilities. The Company offers financial products through various financial institutions in the United States, Europe, and Asia.
Tesla Motors was founded in 2003 by a group of engineers in Silicon Valley who wanted to prove that electric cars could be better than gasoline-powered cars. With instant torque, incredible power, and zero emissions, Tesla’s products would be cars without compromise. Each new generation would be increasingly affordable, helping the company work towards its mission: to accelerate the world’s transition to sustainable transport.
Tesla’s engineers first designed a powertrain for a sports car built around an AC induction motor, patented in 1888 by Nikola Tesla, the inventor who inspired the company’s name. The resulting Tesla Roadster was launched in 2008. Accelerating from 0 to 60 mph in 3.7 seconds and achieving a range of 245 miles per charge of its lithium ion battery, the Roadster set a new standard for electric mobility. Tesla would sell more than 2,400 Roadsters, now on the road in more than 30 countries.
In 2012, Tesla launched Model S, the world’s first premium electric sedan. Built from the ground up to be 100 percent electric, Model S has redefined the very concept of a four-door car. With room for seven passengers and more than 64 cubic feet of storage, Model S provides the comfort and utility of a family sedan while achieving the acceleration of a sports car: 0 to 60 mph in about five seconds. Its flat battery pack is integrated into the chassis and sits below the occupant cabin, lending the car a low center of gravity that enables outstanding road holding and handling while driving 265 miles per charge. Model S was named Motor Trend’s 2013 Car of the Year and achieved a 5-star safety rating from the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
In late 2014, Tesla CEO Elon Musk unveiled two dual motor all-wheel drive configurations of Model S that further improve the vehicle’s handling and performance. The 85D features a high efficiency motor at the front and rear, giving the car unparalleled control of traction in all conditions. The P85D pairs a high efficiency front motor with a performance rear motor for supercar acceleration, achieving a 0 to 60 mph time of 3.2 seconds – the fastest four-door production car ever made.
Now with more than 50,000 vehicles on the road worldwide, Tesla is preparing to launch Model X, a crossover vehicle that enters volume production in 2015. Featuring exhilarating acceleration, falcon wing doors, and room for three rows of seating, Model X defies categorization.
Tesla owners enjoy the benefit of charging at home so they never have to visit a gas station or spend a cent on gasoline. For long distance journeys, Tesla’s Supercharger network provides convenient and free access to high speed charging, replenishing half a charge in as little as 20 minutes. Superchargers now connect popular routes in North America, Europe, and Asia Pacific.
Tesla’s vehicles are produced at its factory in Fremont, California, previously home to New United Motor Manufacturing Inc., a joint venture between Toyota and General Motors. The Tesla Factory has returned thousands of jobs to the area and is capable of producing 1,000 cars a week.
The company is expanding its manufacturing footprint into other areas, including in Tilburg, the Netherlands, where it has an assembly facility, and Lathrop, California, where it has a specialized production plant. To reduce the costs of lithium ion battery packs, Tesla and key strategic partners including Panasonic have begun construction of a gigafactory in Nevada that will facilitate the production of a mass-market affordable vehicle, Model 3. By 2020, the gigafactory will produce more lithium ion cells than all of the world’s combined output in 2013. The gigafactory will also produce battery packs intended for use in stationary storage, helping to improve robustness of the electrical grid, reduce energy costs for businesses and residences, and provide a backup supply of power.
Tesla is not just an automaker, but also a technology and design company with a focus on energy innovation.
The Tesla Roadster is an electric sports car. The Company sells and services its Tesla Roadster though its Company-owned sales and service network in the North America, Europe and Asia. It has delivered approximately 2,500 Tesla Roadsters to customers in over 30 countries. It completed the production of Tesla Roadster gliders at Lotus Cars Limited in January 2012.
Model S is a four door, five-passenger premium sedan. It has designed Model S to include a third row with two rear-facing child seats, subject to applicable safety regulations and requirements, allowing the Company to offer a seven passenger sedan.
The Company revealed an early prototype of the Model X crossover as the first vehicle that it intends to develop by leveraging the Model S platform. This vehicle has been designed to fill the niche between the roominess of a minivan and the style of an SUV, while having high performance features, such as a dual motor all-wheel drive system. Model X will seat seven adults. The Company anticipates that it would make Model X available with 60 kWh and 85 kWh battery pack options, with pricing of each version similar to those of a comparably equipped Model S.
The Company also has announced its intent to develop a third generation electric vehicle, to which it refers as Gen III, to be produced at the Tesla Factory.
In addition to the Company’s own vehicles, it designs, develops, manufactures, and sells advanced electric vehicle powertrain components to other automotive manufacturers. The Company has provided development services and full powertrain systems and components to Daimler AG for its Smart fortwo, A-Class, and B-Class electric vehicles. It has also developed an electric powertrain system for Toyota Motor Corporation for use in its RAV4 EV. As of December 31, 2013 the Company shipped approximately 1,600 units.
In 2013, the Company developed stationary energy storage products for use in homes, commercial sites, and utilities. The applications for these battery systems include backup power, peak demand reduction, demand response and wholesale electric market services. The Company intends to ramp sales of these products in 2014. In 2015, Tesla introduced the Powrball: Tesla Home Battery. Powerwall is a home battery that charges using electricity generated from solar panels, or when utility rates are low, and powers your home in the evening. It also fortifies your home against power outages by providing a backup electricity supply. Automated, compact and simple to install, Powerwall offers independence from the utility grid and the security of an emergency backup. Powerball comes in 10kWh weekly cycle and 7kWh daily cycle models. Both are guaranteed for ten years and are sufficient to power most homes during peak evening hours. Multiple batteries may be installed together for homes with greater energy need, up to 90 kWh total for the 10 kWh battery and 63 kWh total for the 7 kWh battery.
The Company offers financial products through various financial institutions in the United States, Europe, and Asia. In the United States and Canada, it offers customer loans through specified commercial banking partners. In connection with certain of these loans, the Company offers a resale value guarantee to all customers who purchased a Model S and financed their vehicle.
