Photo: GICON The world’s tallest wind turbine has reached its full height in Germany, and its developer says the extra altitude could roughly double its electricity output. GICON‘s pilot turbine in Schipkau, eastern Germany, stands 365 meters (1,197 feet) tall, including its blades. That makes it Germany’s second-tallest structure, behind Berlin’s TV tower. Its rotor hub sits 300 meters (984 feet) above the ground. Winds at higher altitudes are stronger and more consistent, giving the turbine more opportunities to generate electricity. GICON says its design could produce approximately twice as much energy as a conventional turbine with the same rotor…

The electric SUV can accelerate from 0–100 km/h (0-62 mph) in 4.5 seconds,…

Until now, a Tesla would not leave Park with a charge cable plugged in. Drivers had to release the latch from the touchscreen, the Tesla app, or the button on the charge handle, then wait for the port to let go. Emergency Drive Away…
