I think we need to standardize around Tesla's design since it's already out there.  I guess different gas stations could have different connectors, but that is just going to increase the cost and uncertainty of adoption.

Isn't Elon keen on other companies making the move to electric power?  If so perhaps he'll share charging stations with Apple?

He has already offered for any car company to use the Tesla superchargers, as long as they financially contribute to the maintenance and expansion of the charging network.  So far, nobody has taken him up on his offer.  I wish Apple would.  It would speed up their ability to provide a usable electric car.

Over the last year, the pace of Google's Android deployment, already very slow, actually rolled backward by 20 percent over the previous year. Google is leading Android and Chrome toward stagnant beleaguerment. 

oooh, that's the worst kind

Selling fleets of cars to transportation service companies is a means of bypassing the need for dealerships and service departments.  GM has a big investment in Lyft, and I think they will provide electric cars to them to overcome entrenched dealership resistance to selling electric cars.  Once the cars are used for a few years, they can be auctioned to the general public at affordable prices.  This is how the transition away from fossil burning cars might happen.

Sources told Reuters that even Comey doesn't know who his agency contracted for the job. 





Yet somehow they were able to pay them a lot of money.

They don't want to reveal the foreign hackers they are paying to subvert the security built into products of an American company.
