Separate names with a comma.
Apologize if this has been covered by previous discussions, but does charging the battery to 100% frequently voids the battery warranty? My Model...
This is an interesting question. As far as I know, auto steer and summon type of features are now available for many cars in the market, and I...
I haven't driven the 405 carpool in a while due to telecommuting, but it was nearly unusable last year between 55 and Beach Blvd due to the...
I also use Costco exclusively for our gas car and I also have a Model 3 and other EV's prior to it. I don't think it's fair to lump people who...
Thanks!
Is Hardware 3.0 needed for speed limit detection? My 2018 Model 3 with EAP does not detect any speed limit signs, so just wondering if it's...
I did something similar. On paper, the SR+ had enough range for the longest commute I may do (180 miles round trip), but I wanted to be safe so I...
For what it's worth. I have had 2 BMW i3 before my Model 3 MR. I have used them for same work commute which consists of 80% freeway and 20%...
Can SR+ really get 263 miles? If so, there is no value in getting a MR since MR is 264 miles on paper, but like I said, my 100% is only showing...
Not sure. My friends who have LR and SR+ don't seem to have as big of degradation as my car. I did talk to Tesla and they said my car's...
I would recommend caution on MR. I have had fairly significant range degradation since I got my MR in March 2019 (was made in Dec. 2018), down...
And this is why I always wonder how FAA will ever certify passenger drones or any drone that has high kinetic energy. Parachute? Giant airbags...
But in order to make business sense, the manufacturer will need to sell sufficient units, and the operators will need to operate high number of...
Question about flying car/drone operations. How do they integrate into national air traffic control? I would think they would want to operate in...
Awesome. Thanks for the info!
Apology if this has been addressed already or if this is the wrong thread, but I am wondering how any of these autonomous driving technologies...
Agreed. It's an insurance policy in a sense. You don't need it 99.99% of the time, but it's that one time when a car jump out of a blind because...
Question. What is everyone's thought on electricity sources to charge battery on electric airplane? Particularly when battery and motor...
That's definitely a big hurdle. I also wonder if lightening protection will be more or less challenging with hydrogen.
I sure hope most of us get to see at least regional jets transition to some sort of electric power in our life time. Thanks for the redundancy...
BTW, ETOPS is not longer just for twin engine jets. It's also for tri and quad jets intended to fly over 180 minutes from diversion airports....
I would think the redundancy you suggested would still have a range issue in the event of a battery or propulsion failure. A non-working motor...
Not sure about small airplane maintenance cost, but major structural changes on a large commercial transport is costly prohibitive. It's one of...
Thanks. Keeping it regional definitely makes sense, and like you said, those small airplane's MTOW and MLW are generally the same. The landing...
Not sure if anyone has touched on this already, but today's commercial airplane design take great advantage of fuel weight change throughout...
In addition to 4 ways stops, I am wondering how the car will deal with 3 way stops intersections? We have one in the entrance of a shopping center...
Mid range when I bought it was advertised as 264 miles, though I believe it was initially marketed as 254 or something along that line.
Here you go. [ATTACH]
Let's what I am hoping for now seriously though, I wanted the extra range of MR because I knew SR+ would not be able to make some of the trips I...
It was via text message, and they used range and battery% to confirm the range loss. They didn't tell me the actual capacity in term of kWh. Let...
For what is worth, I did try to schedule an appointment to have them look at my Mid Range battery. They did a remote diagnostic, confirmed the 14%...
I haven't read much lately from Mid Range owners on this topic, so here is a data point from my Mid Range. Dec 2018 build, purchased on March...
I agree it's not. You can have a bunch of hard acceleration between long stretch of high efficiency cruises. Though I don't think there are other...
Replaced the rear MXM4's at ~20700 miles (I squeezed out just about everything out of them). I have Michelin Pilot Sports 4 A/S on now. Average...
Just as a reference, all the BMW dealerships I have used to service my cars have always used new cars for loaners. They usually only use them for...
I think overall it would be good to establish more realistic tests. I was caught out twice recently by just how short my MR Model 3 actual range...
I think people also need to consider that $100K Taycan is actually middle to low end of pricing for a Porsche. It's cheaper than just about any...
4 years is fast in aerospace world. Even though this is a demo, it still needs to satisfy many of regulatory requirements in order to get an...
59% to make this 112 miles drive in my MR. I specifically got an MR over SR+ knowing I'll need a bit of margin to do this trip without having to...
Hopefully that's the case. It's typically mid 60F's during the day here in So. Cal. though.
Interestingly, that's what I am noticing too. My MR right now gets about 237 miles at 100% (was 264 miles when I got it a year ago), but based on...
This leads to an interesting discussion. How close do other cars get to EPA results? My personal experience with i3 and Model 3 is that i3 can...
Good point on potential software issue causing it to run in 1st gear only. It would definitely be interesting to see what the real world number is...
I should have worded better. What I meant to say is that Porsche may have designed the car to be more efficient in typical real world driving...
I wonder if this is the typical under-selling of spec that German makers like to do that's biting them back. My experience with BMW and Porsche...
I feel like the auto wiper has regress in this latest build. It's sprinkling outside with hardly visible water drops on the windshield, and the...
I have had 2 BMW i3's and both charge to 100% all the time. BMW doesn't provide you setting to change that unlike my Model 3.
I don't think that's always true. When I had the i3, I was constantly beating the 114 miles EPA rated range. And this is with mixed local and...
For what is worth. I have a Model 3 Mid Range and my 90% charge is ~ 215 miles now. It was 237 miles @ 90% when I first picked up the car 10...
I think we should have that, but what would be the standard though? If you look at pilot training for airplane autopilot, there is training for...
