The LG battery version is not adequate for these motors. Enough for the LR dual motor, but even so it voltage sags 20% or so under full power.

It is even simpler to charge once a week, charge fully in 4 hours, so car is untethered 99% of its life.

Difference is charging once a week vs 5 times a week. Difference also is you have very little buffer for changed plans. This did get me thinking, the EV charging process isn't as easy as a phone which is currently the only thing I charge daily. Perhaps some have managed to set up their...

What is the purpose of reducing degradation, is it resale value? Keeping the car for your kids to inherit? Or is it to maintain maximum theoretical range? What is the purpose of maintaining max theoretical range, if you have to put up with low usable range in the first place?

So this is my personal framework for dealing with battery degradation, maybe interesting to some. The aim is to have the car improve or at least not degrade over time, in day to day use. Similar to how software updates make the car better (generally speaking) over time, I want the battery to...

Here's something fun to try... Use your left foot to step on the accelerator. Car suddenly feels "new" and excessively powerful again. Similar process as going to Chill mode for a while. Left foot hasn't developed the muscle memory necessary, to prepare your body for the acceleration. So the...

The eyeball is rather interestingly gyro-stabilised in all three axes, and this can sometimes be observed as nystagmus when activation is strong and persistent for whatever reason. Perhaps torsional eye motion is what makes the walls seem to twist. Your interesting observation that the novice...

Has anyone noticed these too, perhaps because an EV is so quiet and consistent day to day, little phantom sensations become noticeable and giving clues on how the brain and mind works. After 2 months and 6000km: 1. During constant speed autopilot, stepping on the accelerator pedal causes no...

LR - optimised for m SR - optimised for m/$ Performance - optimised for m/s/s LR+AB - optimised for m/s/s/$

After mulling a couple of months on this silly and almost entirely inconsequential choice, I've gone with no boost because you cannot go back to standard drive mode (other than the one off/refund method). If the boosted "upgrade" allowed 3 drive modes, chill/standard/sport, then I'd go ahead...
