It's hard enough to keep up with evolving revelations of a medical nature these days. It's even harder to stay abreast of Elon Musk's scattergun boasts.
Today it's the "million-mile battery."
Come on now. Did anyone think the "All Day Sucker" would actually last all day?
Or that the "coldest beer in town," was actually colder than that of the next liquor store down the block?
What Musk is touting, of course, is a battery that will retain its recharging capability for a million miles. Right now we're at around 1,000 charges or 150,000 miles.
China claims a been-there-done-that victory in the million mile battery field, with one "ready to go," at their Amperex Technology LTD company.
(Didn't they used to make dog food with the miracle ingredient of antifreeze?)
I wonder if this will turn out to be another of those headlines that should end with a question mark rather than an exclamation point:
Elvis Alive in Bermuda Triangle?
Kardashians more intelligent than concrete blocks?
Bicycle pump rivals Viagra?
Octo-Mom births another litter?
