With a battery system designed for 90 days how can anything ever built outlast it design by that much? No rechargeable battery can do that. Was Tesla correct when he said our atmosphere is fully capable of giving all the electricity we will ever need? So Mars's atmosphere must be doing this to the Rover???

No. Tesla was a nutjob.
I hope that's sarcasm.
As long as the batteries work and the solar panels can charge it can last indefinitely.
But then again those rovers move with the speed of a snail.
Solar panels should do the trick.
All you need is your roof to have complete solar panels and a small solar field in your lawn couple that with 800 sqft of battery rooms and your set. But to do that for every home is not realistic and businesses wouldnt be able to do it at all.
An amazing feat of engineering to be able to continue functioning in the harsh Mars conditions.
Bravo NASA, JPL and Beoing!
His ideas that worked were genius, there's no denying that, but he didn't achieve significantly more then his contemporaries such as Edison, Marconi or Hertz, and his ideas that didn't work were often bat**** insane.
Edison didn't achieve jack****. He hired other people to make his discoveries including Tesla.
If it were that simple NASA would not be scratching their heads.
Nonsense. The man had over 2000 patents to his name. Edison did a hell of a lot more than Tesla, even if you don't count his collaborations with other brilliant people like Tesla.
Not nonsense. Edison bought a good number of his patents and had scores of assistants.
Tesla came up with AC while Edison was stuck on DC.
Edison hired Tesla to solve problems, and when he did, refused to pay him.
Tesla had an eidetic memory.
But none of the equipment including solar is not designed for this many years.
And also did a hell of a lot of work himself. Tesla used assistants as well, you don't think he built his magical electricity tower by himself?
Stuck on? My laptop, xbox, phone and car all use DC.
Didn't say he wasn't an arsehole.
Not as impressive as it sounds.
OK, I'll spell it out. Why are auto warrantees limited to 3-5-10 years? Why do appliances fail? Why do clothes get wore out? By "design" they are manufactured NOT to last forever.
