lithium shortage???

The electric car boom might come to hauling stop. Lithium batteries and supply might become a shortage. From Tesla’s new facility in Nevada producing enough batteries able to power 500,000 electric cars a year by 2020 it shows that the reliance on these batteries to become a demand that may slow down how many will be supplied. It is no joke that since 2013 the impressive rate of demand in over three years has accumulated a sea of change. Lithium powers pretty much everything: smart houses, smart cities, internet of things. The future of lithium power is eventually everything we have and these ideas won’t be possible if we can’t prevent a lithium battery shortage.

2017 GTR to be hybrid

Next GT-R is going to be a hybrid supposedly! It’s been thought about for years now, even though it’s not 100% sure. More fuel efficient is what Nissan wants to go for with the 2017 GT-R.  This not only boosts efficiency but the overall performance of the vehicle as well. Electrification is going to be the goal for any car, which will be no new surprise for anyone. Not being anything new, many manufacturers like McLaren have done the same thing with their P1. The P1 uses torquey electric motor that will help make up for its lag from the forcefully turbocharged V8. Plus, it’s also worth it for Nissan to equip the GT-R with hybrid technology to compete with its rival Acura and their NSX embracing the hybrid technology. Nakamura-san not only considers anything changed on the vehicle to be bad. He thinks whatever proportions are changed not only contribute to better performance but also to better aerodynamics.

Iphone 7 plus Dual-lens?

Is it possible that Apple wants to be the top player in the market, once and for all? It looks like it might be just that. Apple is working with Taiwanese manufacturer Primax. They will be building the dual-lens camera that will be available on the newest release this fall, the iPhone 7 plus.  Expected to be used in their 13-megapixel models. The optical will improve image fidelity and allow the consumer to shoot 3D videos. It is also projected to have optical image stabilization. Even though LG was the expected manufacturer of the dual-lens for Apple, that won’t happen because LG’s setbacks from Sony. On the downside, Primax will equip only 70 percent of the phones with this dual-lens. Consumers should expect it to ship out next month, so for all your Apple iPhone lovers, get ready for what’s to come. Let’s hope to expect other innovations as well that will continue to push competitors in the tech world to push other manufacturers in this competitive market.

Honda S660 Concept

Honda had developed the concept of the s660 back in 2013, thought as the new s2000, but not of what was expected. In 2015 they began developing the concept and sure enough it would stay true to what was envisioned. Release date in 2017, the car’s design however will be offered in the United States and Europe with aggressive looking body kits, but also may have the option of wider wheel wells for bigger tires and rims. It would feature a 3 cylinder turbo 1 liter engine that would have a whopping 63 horsepower and 77 foot pounds of torque.

Big Problem: America!!!!!

       The United States education system is problematic. Compared to most of the world, our education lacks the need to generate students into members of society. Students accumulate debt in their adult years that puts them at a disadvantage when entering the field of work. Our country’s focus is complicated and about profit rather than creating a population of innovators. Lobbyists pose the biggest threat. Corporations run this country. They can make the government sway in the direction feeding their money hungry interests. 1 percent of this country owns the remaining 99 percent. Our national debt can almost be wiped out if these 1 percenters paid higher taxes. We no longer have an upper, middle, and lower class system. Our society has become one that is the upper and remaining lower class system. The issues will diminish if we break the systematic chain that the upper class (1 percent) has created.

     Politics is the root of evil in the United States of America. War is a part of all the agendas of our country’s political system. Every war spreads democracy, brings resources, and spreads our western beliefs. War also brings death, chaos, and poverty to countries that we pillage. We lack accountability for these tremendous acts of greed. Our country now feels wrath amongst its own people and we have our US government to thank for that. We can only bring change through deconstruction of our government. We must start all over from scratch and build together a system that embodies every voice to be heard, and for a government that represents the people and not the interests of one group of individuals.

Pokemon Go Addiction!

Kristin Scott, a new found addict, describes how playing Pokémon Go has become a serious habit in her life. Since dropping in early July of 2016, not only have we seen an increase of players, but we also seen how people get too attached to catching them all.  Kristin’s addiction has gotten to the point that when people come into her workplace searching for Pokémon she knows exactly where to find them. She probably will never be able to let go of her phone or stop playing the game. Others like her are probably facing the same dilemma and let’s just hope they can let go of the non-existent Pokémon, and rejoin society in the real world.

Fuck Hilary and Donald: We Want Michelle

The next president, Michelle Obama, is the ideal candidate. Hilary Clinton and Donald Trump are full of crap. Hillary is disqualified for several reasons: her secret email account and how she had it erased, the outcome of the Benghazi attacks, and her crummy political agenda that only benefits her. Trump is just a complete moron who has a staff that tells him what to say. For goodness sake, he reads everything off a card to tell Americans what they want to hear but will she never gets done. He is an idiotic person, who offends multiple ethnic groups. It is shocking that he made it this far in the election.

Michelle Obama is the person who should be elected president. She would change the education system. She would promote healthy eating cross-country from schools to households. Her policies for national healthcare would be extended from the previous president (Barrack Obama). Michelle truly would change more than Hilary and Donald could as president. The agenda is clear with Michelle Obama. What boggles my mind is why we haven’t considered such a perfect candidate. Instead, we chose between an evil sniveling hag (Hilary Clinton) and a fat toupee wearing pig from Wall Street (Donald Trump).

Hyper Loop Changing the Way!

HyperLoop One, as we all know Elon Musk discussed as being a transport shuttle that would transport passengers, from San Francisco to Los Angeles in half an hour is now again trying to change the world in how cargo ports can operate and send cargo containers underwater using HyperLoop. Not only would that open up the land near waterfronts in hot real-estate property, but also gaining the attention of cities world-wide that want to use this system.  This will move ports 10 miles off the coastline, acting like similar to an oil platform when cargo ships want to off-load their cargo. The greatest part about this system is that it would be underwater, freeing up space where the old cargo ports were for parks, homes, and beaches.

Carvana Car-vending Company...SWEET!

Carvana is the future of how we can purchase our cars, without the hassle of haggling with a salesman. With a vending machine style look to it, the cars are purchased of the Carvana site. Not only do they have 15 metro locations from the east to west coast, serving the public, but they also provide car delivery service once a vehicle has been purchased online from one of those locations. With the emergence of Carvana they also offered a promotional “fly and drive” program which they would pay up to 200 dollars on airfare expenses to fly to their Atlanta or Nashville location to hopefully purchase a vehicle. It seems that this future of creating more convenience for the customer may bring forth a new approach to making the sale, changing the game for all dealerships, and used car sellers!

NIssan GTR Coming to India

The Nissan GT-R, not only a car that can take on high-end, million dollar exotics, but a piece of ingenuity that has a history of grand masters who build the one of a kind engines for these vehicles. No two GT-R’s are alike and each Takumi, one who assembles the engine for each vehicle, their grand masters prove from their experience that diagnosis of an issue is easily detected by touching the engine, and sensing the problem. With a 3.8-liter twin-turbo V8 gives it the edge over the Lamborghini Aventador, such sheer precision that proves how amazing this car is. This will spark a change for Nissan India, especially for the brand. The only thing that will make or break this car from being the sports car that India goes to, and if they nail it on the price tag creating something magical that India has never seen before, a car that meets all standards of expensive exotics with a lower budget that doesn’t diminish performance for the consumer.

BMW’s Remote Control Parking

BMW, yet again, changing the future of how the new 7 series will allow the vehicle owner full control of parking the vehicle. The key’s not only has a touch screen display with a button on the side will allow the big sedan to be controlled with ease using it as a safety feature to park the vehicle in our world’s heavy traffic and tight parking spots. To ensure that the remote user doesn’t damage the vehicle, the parking sensors work simultaneously to ensure the system remains flawless and bring the vehicle owner’s ease of worrying anything goes wrong. So far the vehicle can only be parked when the vehicle is within the markings of the parking spot, with the functions of moving the car forward or backward, but as consumers, we can be sure that these limitations in time will be no obstacle that BMW or other manufacturers can overcome.

INKA 100th durability test

2016 a year for Audi celebrates Audi INKA program, but the time and quality that they provide to ensure that the vehicles could withstand extraordinary odds. In only 19 weeks, 5 phases, from extreme heat to extreme chills (-31 Degrees). Even the interior gets a run for its money $$$ to see if it can stand the test of time!!! A gruesome period which all together spans 12 years of how durable the car is in a test period of 19 weeks. It shows how much a manufacturer like Audi is eager to go beyond others to make sure that their vehicles like the A4 continue to surpass the anticipation of the public.

Tesla Model 3 (2017) Economy Car

With Tesla emerging in the market with their vehicles since 2014, they promised an economy car that would make it affordable to consumers at $35,000. This would make it possible for consumers to own a fully electric vehicle that would change the market in the EV market. This incentive will not only create a higher demand for electric vehicles, but also decrease the consumption of gas operated vehicles which as we know already have been adding to our carbon output into the environment. The car not only is designed to attract the customers in purchasing the vehicle but also no margin is less produced for such a high quality vehicle such as the Tesla 3.

Self-Driving Cars Setback

We live in a day and age where advancements in technology have made the idea of self-driving cars a reality. Even though such setbacks have still yet to be fixed, the benefits will one day create a safer driving environment, not only, where the car can detect that it may be involved in a collision, but also be able to swerve out of the path of danger. Tesla’s innovation and stride to make this the future of the automotive world is truly amazing even with such deadly accidents that recently happen, we should think that not every vehicle has this technology yet, and such scary results are bound to happen. We shouldn’t try to stop these advancements, instead we need to encourage testing this new technology more efficiently till it is ready to one day be applied to all cars on the road, ensuring a safe world of driving, but also ensure that drivers as well, still pay attention to the road, regardless of the computers taking control.
