RE:RE:RE:RE:Been creeping.... I can try and dig up some of the info here but there are some really good connected dots.
Tyler Evans who was the Chief Technology Officer at SiLion which looks to have been aquired by Tesla some time ago. He now works at Tesla according to LinkedIn. His research and usage was primarily on using silcon in the anode portion of the battery and making that work.
If you look back at some of his work at SilIon and what he was trying to do, he states the use of nano silcon would be ideal for faster charge rates, longer run times etc. But at the time he stated the cost of nano silicon was to expensive. Well that would no longer be a problem once HPQ is fully running.
It was this reason and a host of others that strongly supported the manuacture being Tesla. I knwo some people thought Bernards shirts were a clue, but I think thats grabbing a bit at straws to draw that conclusion. I'll see if I can find that info, its been 2-3 months since I saw a video and some research on that.
