When understanding motives it is a good idea to look behind the obvious. Large corporates do not have social welfare programs for the sake of it. The underlying reason is they want to be nice people in consumers’ minds so they buy more products. We saw an interesting post on Fast Code Design discussing the fresh renewable battery insights of Musk and Tesla along similar lines.
The Manifold and Latent Purpose of Things
Did you ever wonder why the sleeves of business suits have buttons on the cuffs? They cannot be a fashion statement because the buttons and the cloth are matching colors. So are we dealing with habit or tradition?
Legend has it Napoleon Bonaparte introduced cuff buttons during a flu epidemic. He wanted to prevent his troops from drying their noses on their sleeves. Those buttons must have been big shiny ones. Nowadays we have tissues. The only possibility is cuff buttons are there to benefit the button industry today.
Fresh Renewable Battery Insights Regarding Tesla Cars
Fast Code Design does not so as far as calling Tesla’s green campaign a smoke screen. However, it does cast doubt on whether electric cars are its primary goal. In the first instance, the source of energy is also the source of pollution.
“This may or may not shock you, but electric cars aren’t necessarily any better for the environment than gas ones. There may be no smoke puffing out of a Tesla’s tailpipe, but that battery received its charge from somewhere.
“If that somewhere was an old coal power plant? Your Nissan Leaf or Chevy Volt just moved its emissions to a different kind of tailpipe.”
Their fresh renewable battery insights include the suggestion that Tesla’s long-term interest is actually grid storage batteries. These are the only way we know to have solar power available on tap around the clock. Tesla is planning to recycle car batteries for this purpose. Its latent intention may be to command the market for the grid storage batteries we must have.
