  • They’re comparing it to lithium batteries for power density, but ignoring that the sodium metal in this case is a consumable, unlike batteries.

    They say it’s 1200 Wh / kg of sodium, however gasoline is a whole 3800 Wh / kg, and somehow I think the carbon dioxide is less harmful than the same amount of sodium hydroxide. Not to mention how much more complicated storing liquid sodium would be since it reacts with air.





  • Well now you’ve made me go read all their Reddit comments. It happened February 27, and they said it took 2 months for their insurance to get processed. It doesn’t seem unreasonable to me to wait until they’ve got everything sorted out before posting.

    Based on pictures of the dash cam files they posted, I don’t think they have internal video, they would have had to turn it on before hand I think? Tesla mostly talks about sentry mode internal camera, so I don’t actually know if it would record by default.
    But again, I don’t think it’s reasonable to expect them to edit a video with face blurring and everything, they don’t owe the Internet anything, and not everyone even knows how.

    I’ll be honest I don’t know for sure they’re being truthful, but I’m certainly a lot less skeptical about than you. I think enough of their story checks out that I’m not going to discount it based on lack of additional info alone. I haven’t seen them contradict themselves anywhere.
