Mercedes-Benz recently opened its own battery production plant in Alabama, and Volkswagen has announced that it will build six battery production facilities in Europe by 2030, with the first slated to open in 2023. Other automakers are following Tesla’s lead. ![]() When fully operational, Giga Berlin, which sits on 740 acres, should produce 500,000 vehicles and 50 gigawatt-hours of battery capacity a year, while Tesla’s 210-acre Shanghai location currently pushes out about 450,000 vehicles annually. We’re yet to know how many vehicles this location will produce at full tilt, but Tesla says Giga Texas will play a big role in helping it reach its production goal of 2 million vehicles next year. Giga Texas is among the largest buildings in the world by footprint, with more than 10 million square feet of factory floor. Gigafactories manufacture at a gigantic scale, so they also create and vitalize many other renewable ecosystems, thus giving a boost to the overall economy. That facility puts out approximately 35 gigawatt-hours of battery capacity per year. EVE Power, finally, is building a 1-billion-euro battery factory in eastern Hungary, near a BMW plant thats being constructed. The original Gigafactory in Nevada covers 1.9 million square feet of land, and when you account for the building’s various floors, it has 5.3 million square feet of operational space. (For perspective, a football field covers 57,600 square feet.) Even the smallest factory-Giga New York-sits on an 88-acre piece of land and has 1.2 million square feet of workspace. Giga Shanghai also builds Model 3s, while Giga Berlin intends to add batteries and powertrains to its list of products.Įach Gigafactory is unique in terms of size and manufacturing output, but you wouldn’t call any of them small. Overseas, the automaker has two facilities-one in China and another in Germany-that both make Model Ys. It’s already churning out Model Ys, and Tesla plans to build Model 3s, Cybertrucks, and Semis there, too. And the recently opened Giga Texas, in Austin, serves as the company’s new headquarters and an assembly site for various models. Giga New York, located in Buffalo, makes Powerpack batteries as well as solar panels and parts for Supercharger stations. The Nevada facility builds battery packs and energy-storage products, such as Tesla’s Powerwall. ![]() The United States has three: Giga Nevada, Giga New York, and Giga Texas. Tesla How Many Tesla Gigafactories Are There? Note: The automaker’s former home base in Fremont, California, remains a key assembly plant for Tesla, but it’s not a Gigafactory, as the term came about well after the West Coast plant opened. But as Tesla’s operations and aspirations grew, it decided to apply the name to its other facilities, regardless of their battery-building capabilities. The first opened in Storey County, Nevada, in 2016. Each would make so many battery packs that the collective energy capacity of those units would equal billions (hence “giga”) of watt-hours per year. Initially, Tesla intended to use the term “Gigafactory” solely for its battery production facilities. How many Tesla Gigafactories are there?. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() For the Handbrake test and the archiving test, there was no change in performance with and without Panda installed. Here Panda dipped from 1,553 without the antivirus installed to 1,507. The test rig scored 1,580 before Panda was installed, and 1,637 after installation and a full disk scan. We also ran Future Mark’s UL Procyon benchmark that uses Microsoft Office. Panda Dome Complete offers a ton of features.įor our in-house tests, Panda actually improved performance in the PCMark 10 Extended test compared to the test PC without a third-party antivirus installed. Those are similar to the protection scores we’ve seen in recent years with a steady reduction in false positives and compromises. In the malware protection test for September 2021, Panda blocked 99.93 percent of more than 10,000 samples, with 0.03 percent compromises and 153 false positives. In AV-Comparatives’ real-world protection test for July through October 2021 the suite blocked 100 percent of the 743 test cases, with 25 false positives. The testing organization looked at Panda Free, but typically the more expensive suites use the same or similar detection engines. Panda Dome Complete: PerformanceĪt this writing, only AV-Comparatives has looked at Panda in recent months.

This is quite common and probably nothing to worry about, but if you are concerned click here to learn more.” Then provide some actionable information behind the “learn more” link. It would’ve been helpful if Panda just said something like that right in the report card, such as, “This router has medium level security. Panda’s help page for Wi-Fi Protection even shows a router with the same results as mine. It seems to me that most people will end up with a medium security rating at first, because of their router’s connection mode. After I’d clicked the help page, however, my router security went up to “high.” When I clicked on the link, however, Panda directed me to a help page with no relevant information for taking a deeper dive, but there was also a “configure router” link that took me to my router login. It then directed me to click a link to get more information. It recommended that I change the “connection mode” to something more secure since mine was automatic. Panda liked my level of authentication and encryption, network name, and ad hoc network security. My home router popped up as “medium security,” for example, with a helpful checklist about what was going on. The most interesting feature of Wi-Fi Protection is its near-immediate auditing of the security level for your router. Panda Dome Complete can assess your router’s security. ![]() A number of other suites include a feature like this, but we’re not entirely convinced it’s necessary as most updates to Windows and apps are automated anyway. Panda has also added an update manager that searches for updates to your apps and Windows itself. Going back to the primary interface, the Antivirus icon is where you can see information about your latest scan, quarantined files, and scheduled scans. The last two options are self-explanatory, while Critical areas scans memory, running processes, browser cookies, and other data for malware. The first icon in the dashboard is Scan. Click that and a smaller window opens up with three options: Critical areas, Full scan, and Custom scan. ![]() If a feature is active there’s an “ON” badge in the upper-right corner of its icon. In Panda Dome Complete, all of the main features are listed in a single scrolling list of iOS app-like icons.

The small size of these farms ensures that the roses are never over produced and thus maintain their exquisite fragrance.Ībove: A complete composition: much like the flowers, Winston’s vases are often handmade or small-batch productions fashioned by artisans.Ībove: Dazzling raspberry ranuculus from Italy were among my Valentine’s favorites.Ībove: The plants and flowers available at Winston Flowers and Garden change on a weekly basis, so there is always something new in the store. Not in the Boston area? No worries, Winston’s bouquets are also available online.Ībove: In addition to cut flowers, the Winston shops carry rare plants for the home and garden, many of which are cultivated in the greenhouse seen beyond these doors.Ībove: For Valentine’s Day, visitors to the Chestnut Hill store are greeted by luscious tubs of floating rose petals.Ībove: More Valentine’s selects above feature Winston roses, which are cultivated according to fair trade practices on “boutique” farms in Ecuador. But if you prefer, the expert staff of designers is happy to help create your own custom bouquet.Ībove: It was Maynard Winston who established the practice of importing flowers directly from the markets in Holland, which ensures not only the flowers’ freshness, but also grants the company access to some of the rarest European blooms, such as these violet-colored sweet peas.Ībove: The textured concrete of the interiors, designed by architect Tim Techler and the Winston Flowers and Garden creative team, offsets the jewel tones of more Valentine offerings.Ībove: Just like in the early days, many of Winston’s flowers, such as these rare anemones from San Remo, Italy, are grown on small family farms.Ībove: Behind the counter lined with delicate sprays of quince, Theresa, one of Winston’s design managers, brings a fresh Valentine’s bouquet for a client.Ībove: The designs at each location, such as this Valentine’s arrangement from the flagship in Newton, MA, are exclusive to that store. My favorite thing to do at Winston’s is to browse the weekly selects, such as these green viburnum, plum calla lilies, petal pink hyacinths, and fuchsia anemones, which are available for Valentine’s Day, and create my own arrangement. This week, visiting Winston Flowers and Garden’s flagship store in Chestnut Hill, MA, I was treated to an inside glimpse of how Boston’s premier florist gets ready for Valentine’s Day.Ībove: For me, entering any of the seven Winston locations around the Boston area is a bit like stepping into a fantasy world where radiant blooms and vibrant greens never cease to inspire. Their commitment to the entire process–from the small farmers who grow their plants and flowers to the customer who places them in their garden or home–is why Winston Flowers and Garden has always been one of my favorites. Today, despite the company’s overwhelming success, David and Ted Winston have never lost touch with their grandfather’s vision. Since their first days wheeling flowers up and down Boston’s fashionable Newbury Street in 1944, Robert Winston and his son, Maynard, cultivated a business based on rare and exquisite blooms as well as individualized customer service.

It’s my sincere belief that just as with most school shootings, the root cause of this tragedy was a lack of respect. ![]() The town could have saved a lot of money and heartache just by treating Marvin fairly and understanding his right’s as a business owner in the community, thus coming up with a fair compromise. Overall, the damages totaled about $7 million US dollars. Marvin then took his own life by handgun and the police only managed to retrieve his remains after the use of a torch for several hours. Marvin’s rampaged ended after the dozer’s radiator became damaged and it became stuck while destroying a hardware store. After reaching havoc there, Marvin proceeded to drive into town and destroy city hall, the office of a newspaper that wrote against him, the home of the deceased former mayor and destroyed 13 buildings in his 2hr + rampage. Marvin Heemeyer drove through his own muffler shop beginning his attack and headed straight for the concrete plant. Despite the weapons, Killdozer never actually killed anyone or seriously attempted to, and Marvin ended up being the only casualty. He also had two side arms, one of which he used to commit suicide. 50 cal Baret M82 at the rear, a 5.52mm FN FNC semi-automatic at the front, and a. The Killdozer also had three guns mounted, a. Marvin thought as far as including air conditioning inside the cabin as well as food. The only issue with the armor was that once the armor was lowered, Marvin could not come out again, but considering how long he would go to jail for his rampage if caught, he probably wanted it that way. The armor worked so well, not only could it withstand bullets, it could also withstand explosions. The armor was made from steel and concrete and featured exterior cameras protected by the bulletproof glass for navigation (the cameras also had a compressed air nozzle included to clear off any dust). Killdozer was heavily modified and you can’t deny how impressive of a creation it was, especially considering it was made by one guy in a shed. All this weight made the Komatsu D355A a perfect battering ram vehicle. ![]() The Komatsu D355A originally weighed 49 tons but ballooned to 61 tons with the armor. The Komatsu D355A had a 410hp turbocharged engine, but only had a top speed of 7.35 mph, and that’s before the added armor. As a side note, Komatsu is the second largest producer of such construction equipment, only behind Catapillar. Killdozer started it’s life out as a meager Komatsu D355A bulldozer, a fairly pedestrian construction machine. ![]() Marvin decided to modify the bulldozer he bought to construct the rejected road to his shop, and thus birthed the “killdozer”. With no further hope to save his livelihood and pursue his part in the American dream, Marvin started down a path of darkness and destruction. The town probably wanted to force him onto Welfare and into a job at someplace like Walmart because politicians do not care about blue-collar citizens, especially those without kids, family, or significant social connections (this is one of the most disaffected groups in the US population). More importantly than the fine, Marvin’s business was still being threatened. In total, the fines totaled $2,500, to which Marvin paid and put “cowards” on the memo section. They also fined him for having junk cars on his property which were labeled “unsightly” (this one really hits home). Does the government seriously have the right to fine you for a violation that is out of your control? No, and such a government should be overthrown if ever implemented, as it violates your God-given rights. Why was he not connected to the sewer? Well because he was cut off by accident during the construction of the cement factory. What solidifies the town government as the true villains of this story are how they proceeded to fine him for not being connected to the sewer. Marvin petitioned the town multiple times to stop the plant going up, and when that failed Marvin petitioned to have his own road built to the shop, which was also rejected. Things were going well for Marvin until the town approved a cement factory to be constructed on the adjacent property to Marvin’s shop, thus blocking access and threatening to destroy his business. Most described Marvin as an agreeable hardworking guy. ![]() He bought some land and set up a muffler shop to utilize his skills as a mechanic and welder. Marvin moved to the town of Granby, Colorado at age 40 not knowing anybody in the area. ![]() |
