Woody - absolutely right, so as a detective 'we' would need to figure - if it wasn't Apple related, where was he going to / from that took him past that showroom, as apposed to the other two in that general area.

Best wishes - Spike

Bloody stalkers, scary 🤣

Good spot spike, very impressive ! It's the same showroom, i agree. I moved along the street until in line with the loading bay. And it's the same building to the right of the showroom, red roof, as in neills tweet ! Very encouraging for holders imo. Atb ellis.

Good find spike. Just not sure now that that is why he was making the visit bearing in mind his tweet 8 hours ago

Oh I don’t stop , my mission is already done, now the hard work starts. As I keep saying this is a process, it takes time.

Not saying he wasn't there on business but it doesn't look like it was his main port of call.

Edit: What a nice business trip "Day trip to Cali to finalise a big business deal and while I was there I popped in to tie up a few loose ends with Elon." .... :-)

There is also 750 on the pillar to the right side of the window. Definitely Tesla dealership in Sunnyvale.

BUT the image shows EXACTLY where the pic' was taken - no question



OR google the address below:

It is the Tesla Showroom 750 E El Camino Real, Sunnyvale CA 94087 - which is only just the second closest to Cupertino which includes ..... Apple.

It took some finding but not only does the facade fit exactly, but also the street lights in the window reflections. How did I find it - looking closely at the pic you can see it's left hand drive (if you enlarge it in photoshop), so I just progressed from there ;0)

Best wishes - Spike

Neill has his geo locator back on ! Best ellis

"Milpitas is a city in Santa Clara County, California. It is located with San Joseto its south and Fremont to its north, at the eastern end of State Route 237 and generally between Interstates 680 and 880 which run roughly north/south through the city. With Alameda County bordering directly on the north, Milpitas sits in the extreme northeast section of the South Bay, bordering the East Bay and Fremont. Milpitas is also located within the Silicon Valley. The corporate headquarters of Maxtor, ;LSI Corporation, Adaptec, Intersil, FireEye, Viavi and Lumentum (formerly JDSU), KLA-Tencor, and View, Inc.sit within the industrial zones of Milpitas. Flex and Cisco also have offices in Milpitas. The population was 78,106 at the 2018 census"

Musk also psychic !? His prediction in 2011 ;) best ellis

"Elon Musk Says Super-Capacitors Not Batteries, Will Be Breakthrough For EVs"

8 years ago

"When Tesla’s Elon Musk first came to Silicon Valley he was researching advanced, highly-energy-dense super-capacitors at Stanford. Coincidentally, when speaking at the Cleantech Forum in San Francisco about the future of electric vehicles Musk said, “If I were to make a prediction, I’d think there’s a good chance that it is not batteries, but super-capacitors.”

Super-capacitors are similar to batteries in that they both store energy. But in electric vehicles, super-capacitors would be much more efficient at storing the massive amounts of energy taken in during regenerative braking. And when the time comes to accelerate, the super-caps would be able to deliver the that large amount of energy much faster than batteries, with less energy loss.

Currently, hybrid vehicles have batteries because super-caps cannot store the same amount of energy pound-for-pound. Super-capacitors require a large amount of surface area to store a large enough amount of electricity to be useful for electric cars. However, the introduction of nanotechnology could increase surface area exponentially, as recent experiments have shown. Picture infinitesimal conductive surfaces storing electrons for rapid use; no more chemical reactions requiring huge and expensive thermal management systems would be needed.

Seeing how Musk creates electric cars powered exclusively by lithium-ion batteries, his comment on batteries seems a bit out of place — unless his company is at work researching the next big thing."

"The company will decide by mid-month where to locate a 25-person U.S. research facility, and Charlotte is expected to get the nod."

Think we’re psychic was just thinking (hoping) the same ..

[ad63] 04/12/2018 19:38

Wonder what the odds are for a Tesla / VRS (Gnanomat) tie up?

[woodpeckers] 04/12/2018 19:36

"The future , what an awesome car" ... is Neill tipping us off that his Cali trip is Tesla related???

[bisho4] 04/12/2018 19:23

...imagine if VRS supplied the manufacturer of Wrexham's kits with nanene and sponsored the kit. lol :)

[alchemy] 04/12/2018 19:22

Sponsoring a football club , oh please no , never, the e aye Addis mob!

Yes Tini5 it's a great wind up too ;o)

[tini5] 04/12/2018 18:22

Spike, I think it’s a wind up. Fantasticsofa aka goodsofa is a known shorter and generally unpleasant character who is also a Wrexham fan and pretends to be a dead Punk singer on Twitter.

He was fear-mongering by suggesting there was a broker’s note he had sight of that valued VRS at 20p. He’s most likely one of Tom’s cohorts along with Tim and the rest stood in the middle of the tracks.

VRS sponsoring Wrexham has a delicious irony.

[spike_1] 04/12/2018 18:16

Definitely not a silly question IMO.

[bisho4] 04/12/2018 18:11

Silly question... is Sam Ricketts (ex-Wrexham manager, now Shrewsbury manager) any relation?
