Actually I would expect the same amount of time to charge to full assuming you charge both batteries (smaller and larger) with the same C rate. Since both packs use same cell types and same module cooling there would be no need to reduce C for the SR+. But same C rate for both packs of course...

I‘ve recorded a timelapse on a new SR+ european version with the CCS connector on a Tesla supercharger in Germany. At the end of the video there are some charts showing more data, sorry all metric though.

Probably true. The BMW i8‘s frunk also can be opened only by service technicians with the proper tools.

Unfortunately the launch time is predetermined by ISS‘ orbit. You can’t just start whenever you want.

I see your points. But isn’t the main goal to reach the moon and setup installations there? If there is a single-shot solution like Starship with immense flexibility on type of cargo to transport directly why not just save all the funding for creating moon habitats and supporting technology? It...

In Germany the new soon to be released Audi eTron will have cameras instead of mirrors - certainly for good money in the options list, but still. The images will be visualized with small HD screens in the door panels left and right. So it doesn’t seem impossible to replace ‚mirrors‘. But I...

1. I don’t think so much the design, they are more concerned with Model 3 ramp up, figuring out Model Y and Semi - it even sounded like the Pickup has more priority. All understadable in terms of sales and market importance... 2.They haven’t build one 200kWh pack, I agree. But at least he didn’t...

@MESM amazing insights, yes speculation, just as much as jimmy or lunitiks do, I like it! @buttershrimp you forgot to mention our expert bladder. COPV filled with water, why not?;-)

@Peteski, Go for it, I drive an i8 coupe 2016. It’s plenty fast, it’s nimble, an eye catcher, futuristic, silent (if you want) - people appreciate guarantee you! I‘ll keep it until the new roadster hits the road and even then maybe longer, who knows? A knew one gives you access to BMW‘s Pure...

COPV wise I always thought of something like that: Would also be a better fitting form factor. But certification is a good argument and therefore maybe reusing the round COPV.

Oh man, this thread is far from boring. I try to summarize what ideas there are right now and think about pros and cons. As @MESM said, there are 3 different models now: rocket thrust sideways rocket thrust up suction-thrust (using lower thusting side vents) Model 1 is popular because this...

What topic turned boring why?

@MESM I think people here are still imaging single thrusters (maybe 8 units?) placed around the car kind of firing compressed air out to the sides in a very narrow jet. Couldn't it be more like in your model where a "single" thruster (your hair dryer :-) pushes air out into a layer beneath the...

Twitter this to Elon, lets see what happens. My guess is you pretty much nailed it.
