Elon Musk Aiming For 100% Supercharger Coverage In Europe Next Year

The problem with electric cars is that the chargers required to charge them aren’t quite as ubiquitous compared to a gas station. This might be made worse in more rural areas where there is a lower chance of a charging station being available. However Elon Musk is hoping that he will be able to solve this problem come 2019.

Responding to a tweet from a customer, it seems that Musk is aiming for full Supercharger coverage across Europe in 2019. That being said, it has been pointed out that Musk’s claims should probably be taken with a grain of salt because according to Electrek, Musk had aimed to have 18,000 Superchargers by the end of the year, but fell short of that mark with close to 12,000 chargers, which is not close to the 18,000 that he had initially aimed for.

However we suppose it’s not a bad aim to have 100% coverage across Europe by the end of 2019 as it should help encourage adoption of electric cars. That being said, Tesla’s Superchargers still aren’t quite as fast compared to refueling cars normally, where it will be able to charge to 80% in 40 minutes. This is compared to the new tech that Porsche and BMW recently unveiled which adds 100KM to an electric car’s range in 3 minutes.

Nokia 9 PureView Could Be Announced End Of January

Recently we have been hearing rumors about the Nokia 9 PureView, which for those unfamiliar is an Android smartphone that will be packing a penta-lens camera design. Based on the leaks we’ve been seeing so far, it seems like the phone is ripe for an official announcement, which now we are hearing could set for an end January 2019 announcement.

This is according to Russian sources (via GSMArena) who claims that HMD Global could make the announcement then. What’s interesting about this is that the end of January seems to be an in between of CES 2019, which takes place in the early part of 2019, and MWC 2019 which will be taking place in February. This means that the phone will be skipping both events.

In terms of what we can expect from the phone, the Nokia 9 PureView’s focus is obviously its camera where based on the leaks we’ve seen, will feature a penta-lens design. We’re not sure how HMD/Nokia will position the phone or what kind of features it might have that will utilize all the lenses, but other specs include a 5.9-inch display with a 2960×1440 resolution, the use of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 chipset, and a 4,150mAh battery.

Take it with a grain of salt for now, but since January 2019 is nearly upon us we guess we won’t have to wait much longer to get all the official details if there are any to be had.

This Bathroom Sink Looks Like a DJ Console

What is it about people incorporating music into their bathrooms? First, we had the musical instrument bathroom, and now check out this bathroom that has a sink that resembles a DJ’s console. Time to wash up with Sir Suds-A-Lot.

Designed by Gianluca Paludi, these turntable-inspired sinks from Olympia Ceramica will be a hit among wealthy DJs. This collection of bathroom basins is simply called Vinyl, and features sinks that look like a turntable setup. Each circular basin resembles the platter, and the faucet looks like a turntable’s tonearm. The tonearm doesn’t raise and lower like a real one, but maybe it can swivel from side to side. I’m not sure.

This setup includes a countertop with control knobs that regulate the water pressure and temperature. The cabinet has a drawer with a Bluetooth music amplifier and speaker inside as well. Those small holes are just for the speaker. Then there’s the stand that has a lower tier which supports a tempered glass shelf for fresh towels and other stuff. The upper tier has a rigid leather bag to hold smaller things.



The sink is available in either single or double-vanity designs, and there’s also a matching equalizer mirror with LEDs to go with. All those wealthy DJs out there can now have a luxury bathroom to go with their trade.
