Love the picture of the Maxwell House "coffee shop" !! LOL very funny...

"secret" yet is on a youtbe video lol

thanks for great and useful information

Thanks. Liked and subscribed.

Talks about the Maxwell battery company; shows a picture of a Maxwell House coffee company factory. Top marks on your research there, well done.

We are eagerly waiting.

we are eagerly waiting

Really nice video. Thank you!

“Tesla Truck” has a great ring to it - far more snappy than Cybertruck.

I hope that Tesla does a good job getting the future development done for transportation: Cars, trucks and other types.

We need more men like Elon Musk, to speed up the revolution in electricity

Love the way you're saying "Vehicle"

Cool ship in the picture. Can it be done next?

An excellent idea and I think achievable. 20 to 40 passengers up to 6500 miles, with hubs, recharge on descending using regenerative air break unlike jet reverse thrusters.

Excellent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

for the charge, you could have ready charged batteries waiting to insert.

It seems like a simple workaround to waiting for a recharge would be to make the battery packs replaceable. When the plane lands take out the old battery pack and put in a freshly charged one. Yes there would always have to be many more battery packs charging than planes that need them. But we also store way more gasoline in huge tanks underground than is needed in a day for motorists around the world. Just plan ahead and be ready.

It would be really nice for you to make a video dedicated to covering all electric planes that have been tested and are in concept or production now.

Yes you must dream to make it come true . It can fail or succeed but you have to keep on trying .

Another 12 minutes of my life I will never get back... Mr. Specky McSpeculation...

Before coming up with great solutions, maybe have a look at the difference between thrust and power. That would explain a lot why electricity isn't so straight-forward to replace combustion. Electricity doesn't generate thrust which is what modern airliners use to fly that high and quick.

The electric plane would have far more utility on short-distance trips - never mind long-distance trips for now. In fact, the utility would be so great, the airlines would begin to offer more short-distance trips - a prospect that, heretofore, was a bit difficult because it wasn't especially profitable.

Innovation is always good....

Ve HIc cals. Love it! Hope your hiccups get better.

there are still alot of people waiting for the tesla semi's they literally bought almost 5 years ago so... keep shit like that in mind when you see this

Question: What would the surface sealing be for an electric plane?

My grandfather was an aeronautical engineer and died in the late 40's. He designed an airplane for the "Mass's". He called it the "Everyman" or the Butane Bus. Boeing and other aircraft still use his Leading Edge Aileron design. He had invented the "Floatless Carburetor". The first fuel injection. The Army confiscated the Fuel Injection patent. The Aeronautical Industry burned his airplane in its hanger and killed him to stop Everyman from having an airplane in their garage. He also invented the first Retractable Landing Light systems and was an "Early Bird". His name is on the roster.

wow...this video is very interesting

Wow that good i so proud anyone working hard for united state thank you so much

4:53 into the video, I'm pretty sure Tesla isn't buying a coffee company lol

You can do it Elon awsome idea

We need more innovators. As long as it helps us save the earth

Now we know he plans to use his starship for point to point. Way faster than a plane, can fly above the atmosphere.

For planes, if recharge time is the biggest issue, it would make sense to have swappable batteries. So instead of a fuel truck, you have a truck traveling under the plane and swap the battery pack(s).

Nice! ☺

Thank God " that somebody has the brain to build a airplane almost zero crash, Possibilities, 👍

I heard Thunderf00t's facepalm all the way from Czechia.

How about having a fuselage covered with solar panels? The batteries can charge during crusing. Maybe they can also come up with a hybrid version of a plane. Use the the conventional engine during take offs and landings and use the electric motor during cruising and for emergencies in case the battery power runs out.

We know you can develop that kind of technology not for your own profit. Carry on, you're making every services & products on earth become cheap & affordable for poor folks like us.

Very interesting . It's the future.

Battery tech not there yet and gotta produce lots of electricity too, hopefully it'll happen but the cost of flying in energy terms is pretty high , dont underestimate air resistance and lift drag, getting the aircraft up to height and speed is the big one in terms of energy so short trips are not gonna be efficient.

Them doing a plug for Maxwell house in the battery segment, hmm, sounds like a hint at some hyped up smart home or something

Cool info

RC on point

The photo at time mark 4:53 is not Maxwell Batteries, but Maxwell House coffee plant.

Let’s hope it does more than 250 miles.

Interesting times! 👍

Thanks Elon ,may god protect you and give you help at every way.....ok...Blessing, Blessing...you are at right way

note on the editing/transitions ... the standard cut works so well for a reason!!!!!!

What about a plasma jet engine? Read about it in a popular science article, it compresses n super heats the air that flows through it with a lot less electrical power needed.

It's a secret but you know it. Bravo

Master Musk is one of my newest heroes. He doesn't take crap from idiots.

One solution to the range issue for aircraft is a boost to altitude detachable battery pack. It clips onto the plane while it is on the ground being serviced. It then provides all the power to get the plane to altitude and then returns to the airport on it own. No pilot would be needed for the battery pack. At this point, the plane is above the clouds where the solar cells on the top surfaces of the plane can also extend range. On decent, the plane can recharge it's batteries. It would be possible for the plane to reach it's destination and be fully charged.

The power of elastic bands is a much underrated source of power

This may be off topic but I think someone might find it interesting. :D Over Unity Water wheel electric generator: Top of structure has Huge slanted basin (If looking at it from the side it would be slanting down to the right). When filled with water the water naturally slides down and over edge where it starts falling straight down causing water wheels to spin. Water wheels are stacked on top of each other not touching but close. As water falls it hits them all one after the other making them all spin as it makes it's way to the bottom. At the Bottom of the structure there is a large slanted basin. This basin is slanted in the opposite direction to the one on top so the water slides down to the left, into a pool of sorts that is U shaped,(imagine right below the water wheels is the shallow end and as it slants down it gets deeper for some distance then winds around to the other side of construct and comes back up to another shallow end. Now directly behind the water wheels on a flat surface that is above the pool of water that's curving around it, there is another wheel positioned vertically but this one is not a water wheel, this one has powerful magnets embedded horizontally inside of it on both of it's flat sides so there magnetic repulsive field is pushing outwards away from the disc on both sides. (Also each embedded magnet is surrounded in high permeability metal or Mu-Metal to focus it's magnetic field lines into a condensed strong field. This disc is powered by one powerful electric motor. Now imagine long hollowed out cylindrical tubes submerged & sticking out of the pool of water and reaching all the way up and into the basin that holds water on top. Now imagine each tube has a windy slide inside that goes from top to bottom. Now imagine the tube has rings around it that are magnetically repelled so when the main wheel spins around the horizontally positioned magnets hit into the side of these rings causing the entire cylindrical tube to spin. The spinning motion of the tube will cause it to scoop up the water in the pool and the centrifugal force of the spin and the windy slide inside will guide and force the water back to the top. Now remember for this to work properly there needs to be enough water wheels spinning to generate more electrical current then the motorized wheel needs to spin. Key Element 1: Number & quality of water wheels. Key Element 2: Quality of electric generator connected to each water wheel. Key Element 3: Enough tubes to pull enough water from bottom basin back to top basin to equal the rate and amount of water filling both basins at any given time. Key fact: The accumulation of electrical current from the electric generators connected to the water wheels must be greater then the 1 electric motor needs to spin. Key Fact: One must divert the needed electrical current from the generators connected to the water wheels to the motor spinning the disc that has the magnets on it. Key Fact : If this is done properly it would be an over Unity Electric Generator. Reason why some may think this would not work: Some would say the amount of energy the motor needs to spin the disc with magnets on it will always be greater then the amount of electrical current being perpetuated by the electric generators on the water wheels complements of natural energy losses do to heat and friction. This assumption is understandable however I will explain why this does not stop this device from being an over unity device. You see it comes down to one simple truth. The motor spinning the vertically positioned disc is only actually doing a fraction of the needed work, it is the horizontally positioned magnets impacting into the tubes causing them to spin that is doing the heavy lifting :) and since the magnets are positioned horizontally on disc the push back against them is unable to hinder the motor spinning the disc to a degree that would require it to do loads more work. In conclusion this is a device that can be self contained away from the elements so as to not hinder it's effectiveness. And it is an Over unity device if built correctly. & to all you nay Sayers out there I would just like to add I hope you all have a great day and whether you like it or not this design works. :D

The battery re-charge thing is so simple. Just make it modular. Take the old group out, place a new module in and take off.

Tesla should just have a hybrid electric plane with solar also installed.

Electric plane probably need a glideing time capability if could use electric motor to go high it could than glide for long amount time only engaging motor when needed

Great creative soul

That thumbnail looking kinda interesting

It seems with current technology that a battery swap at airports would work best.

This is so cool! What about making interchangeable battery packs that can be swapped with fully charged packs in a few minutes while the plane is at the gate?

THATS what i like about secrets, they always seem to be on you tube first

I desire an abundance and variety for the good of the community!

Bravo 👏 Electric plane ✈️ awesome Elon musk 👍🏼👍🏼

There ya go, just as were going into the new solar cycle. Remember the Carrington event ? What happens to satellites when increased CME activity happens? What happens to radio communications ? Watch the KP index when flying !!!!

very interesting

Cool video

How about using Faraday's law for recharging in flight? Or static electricity?

The breakthrough is with the batteries, not with the airplane. If this breakthrough do happen, petrol / gasoline cars would be priced out of existence, and electric aircraft would take off overnight. Yes, the new electric airplane needs some miracle software for energy recovery, and flight optimisation within the air streams, but Tesla / SpaceX are no stranger to such miracles; just see how the Crew Dragon had the Boeing Starliner bite the dust - so nicely and effortlessly. With the Crew Dragon, SpaceX pulled out a coordinated software miracle, that Boeing was simply incapable of duplicating. One thing you say in the video is incorrect. One thing about solid state batteries. While prototypes of solid state batteries exists, they aren't fit for purpose yet. Ion conductivity in solid materials remain a tough nut to crack, and requires some new technologies - yet to be invented. Electrons jumps from an atom shell to another, so a solid material isn't an obstacle at all. Ions - for all practical purposes - are whole atoms travelling; if you can visualise it, you can understand how difficult it is; or better, how impossible is to achieve the required ions mobility with normal materials in normal conditions. A current solid state battery is only the double of the capacity of a traditional one - per given volume. This is because the solid state battery can use metallic lithium at the anode instead of graphite. Problem is their production, as the whole assembly cycle must happen in high vacuum, and the problem with the dendrites hasn't been fully solved, nor the fact they stop working in the cold. A standard smartphone battery costs 2 to 3 dollars, while the solid state version would cost around 10,000 dollars. There are no typos, that's ten thousand dollars. So, with regards to solid state batteries, for now, there are no hope. Just more research. Thanks for the video, Regards from the UK...

I like how we know the thumbnail is fake but we still click the video😂

Yea right!!! Maybe they can keep it up longer than 15 minutes

Elon needs to stick to the automotive industry and buy Dyson digital. Electronic switching of electromagnets is far superior to permanent magnet motors and uses way less power. Why can't they figure it out. Too many yes men.

Already charged batterie's at the airport would help the recharge of planes. Maybe build some Nicola tesla tower's to recharge planes in the air :P There is QI tech for phone's, so maybe airplanes too?

Recharging should not be a problem. I'm not an engineer but adding an inverter to the system would alleviate any recharging compacity. and less batteries would be needed for increased power supply. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

The best thing they did was to make electric cars look like normal cars do just powered by electricity. Change happens all the time. Me posting this on you tube proves this.

I would think that having interchangable battery packs ready when landed would be the answer. It would be faster then refeuling a normal plane Im sure .

Cobalt vs Graphene batteries; lighter weight, higher conductivity, more tensile strength, higher cost as of yet, but highly more versatile than cobalt, and less volatile.

Like the amazing tesla tunnel.

I hope that this channel gets to make a video about the B-21 bomber!

Planes at the beggining couldn't fly long distances as well. For the sake of saving our world, I'd say let's put all our efforts into design such a plane. One day, we'll get there.

I think I read about this in Popular Science back in 1969.

He is buying the plants (Maxwell for example) to make his own batteries and simplify production. Brilliant.

will it be feasible to have some sort of solar panels on the plane's wings for charging?

Love how the narrator does that yokel-sounding "vee-hickle" every time.

I’m not sure where you got your data on recharge time for electric vehicles. I can fully charge my Tesla in 40 minutes at a Tesla Super Charging station. 12 hours is the recharge time using a super slow home charger.

Nice, is that going to happen before or after the hyperloop?

amazing very good tesla thanks for your green energy projects

Why not, Industry has stopped innovating out of the Box...We need the Supersonic troop transport

Replace the batteries. Take out the depleted batteries to recharge, and put in a freshly charged battery pack. Simple.

Quy mô sản xuất ô tô điện năng lượng sạch,hay nhiều phương tiện khác là điều kiện đáng nhìn nhận một cách thiết thực, góp phần gìn giữ môi trường để ổn định nguồn oxi sạch cho tương lai thế hệ nối tiếp, một sáng kiến đầu tư rất tinh hoa, 1500km cho một lần sạc đầy, tiêu chuẩn rất cao, nhất định sẽ chinh phục được thị trường rất lành mạnh, cảm ơn video chia sẻ của bạn rất hay chúc bạn sức khỏe và hạnh phúc.

He's a real dreamer. Electric airliner? Good luck with that one.

This concept is still another of Elon's 'pie in the sky' imagiganings rather than of practical reality any time soon...

There's no such thing as an electric jet. Jet thrust is due to the expansion of a gas. If there isn't a gaseous fuel, it isn't a jet.

That guy is amazing.

8:45 No problem. Bolt on a quad copter to provide extra lift for takeoff. it can be capacitors or high energy battery. As it gets to cruise altidude, detach the quad copter and it flies back to the hangar to charge. Now you need smaller engine, cross section, for cross country flight. also.. possible to add drones.. along the coast. doing deliveries of packages to shipping hubs and flying just off shore. After no crashes, then they can allow small numbers of passengers..

4:51 lol something tells me that Maxwell Technology has no relation to Maxwell House, the coffee company...

Actually the longest flight in the world is Auckland New Zealand to Abu Dhabi and it takes between 17h40minutes to 18 hours 👍😀

WELL, IT'S NOT A SECRET ANYMORE. People, we have to move facilities, we have been discovered. Still, it was an interesting and informative video

Question? "Why is the time to recharge in the discussion" just have a plug-in battery, and like luggage just change the battery takes a few minutes to turn the plane around.
