The $15K core charge is logically defensible. That pack is useful to Tesla, as they may spend a week to break down the "bad" pack, identify...
? This statement is not logically defensible. Tesla does more after sale than any other car I've ever owned. In 8 years, our Model S has...
For reference, Tesla modules sell for $1300 USD/kWh on the used market. EVTV Motor Verks Store: Tesla Model S Battery Module, Tesla Model S...
Local ownership is important, but even in Ontario where we own our primary utility and transmission, the "public private" investments have...
As a Smart Fortwo EV owner, agree, without $13000 rebate in Ontario, I wouldn't have bought my Smart at MSRP close to Ioniq, Leaf, etc. I do wish...
Counter point : Tesla makes profit selling new S/X with 18650 cells in short supply by Panasonic Japan. Those cells are not the ones "dropping in...
Point : "free" after the initial investment is paid off, "free" because there is no fuel cost, "free" because a sunk cost is paid for and...
No. Physics is hard eh? Solar panels work because photons excite NP gap in silicon, that energy is absorbed and transmitted as electrical energy....
? My panels on my roof haven't starved anything growing, except they have absorbed energy that would otherwise heat my attic and require venting...
The Model 3/Y do not have battery or cabin resistive heating cores. It is likely Tesla is reusing the "Octovalve" tech in the new S/X.
When you shift a Tesla into drive, the car drops existing WIFI connections and switches to 4g LTE cell network (3g in my case). You can then...
Web browser is always available, no matter the drive mode. I've used the browser with waze for 5.5 years, mostly works, and I have an old MCU1 car!
am interested in your experiences of living in Halifax NS. We're from Ontario and "looking" east... glad you enjoyed your Model 3 test drive! Cheers
Was responding directly to you, in this thread, with the knowledge of the components listed. If you like tinkering, fine, but transferring load...
Re: reducing weight in the Model S/X refresh, there are a number of possibilities irrespective of reducing kWh capacity. 1. pack structure...
Buy a used (with warranty) Model S from Tesla, I did, and you can get an AWD Model S with 400 km range for $57K today. https://ev-cpo.com/hunter/
Interesting approach, using in-car browser to link to web page served from phone.
? Seems like a ridiculous waste of time and money and risk to your $50K+ car to shift load for a few pennies per day (what a fridge costs to run).
Ontario Canada has a similar issue with Nuclear surplus overnight and we curtail by venting steam (sigh!). But there is still 100MW of gas running...
It's been posed upthread that utilities may eventually move to a flat fee model, use all the electricity you want for a flat monthly price....
Bingo Texas Rolling Blackouts Are Due To Economics, Not Renewables
Cost per km (mile) is what is important, range is only important if the truck can't do a route. Observation : Tesla keeps adding range to it's...
1+2+3+4=10 You get a perfect 10 score for failing to see the obvious. Next test will be harder, it will be signing the cheque for the repairs...
^ Great posts and analysis @petit_bateau ! See this video for Tesla battery growth in 2021, I like this guy, and the numbers are aggressive IMHO,...
This is great news, Tesla needs to focus on the tipping point of the transport industry, not long haul trucking, but mid range warehousing and...
For posterity. Had to be said ...
Don't despair, they have a secondary revenue source: [IMG]
I have empathy, although that is a non-factual emotion, I am certainly glad to also experience this myself on behalf of all those affected, I am...
Really? Let's no die on this hill. Visibility is the least likely reason to complain about the new Model S changes. Visibility was the biggest...

Only replied to a FUD posting. This thread is a sad collection of "everyone is experiencing the problem" posts, I am posting periodically to...
Really, what's your charge profile now? Mine is 110-SOC% from 20%-80% same as new. My car also has phantom drain of 2.5 kWh daily but that...
Just checked the app, took literally 2 seconds for the car to wake up and respond, it's been sitting idle for a few days and immediately I could...
Um, I kind of get your point, but basically I disagree. Our Model S is 8 years old and has cost less on a depreciation and running costs basis vs...
DOH! What will I do now, my 8 year old Model S still has 95% original capacity and supercharges identically to new, and our MCU1 is still...
2013 Model S, 8 years old, 95% original capacity, accelerates and supercharges (for free I might add) same as new. All of the data suggests that...
The Model X is worth the money, your comparison is ridiculous. Our Model S is the "same size" as a mini van, maybe I should have bought this...
"too slow", hmm, perspective : The supercharger difference between ours cars is likely just 5 minutes when charging 20-80% ... and my car is not...
You seem so sure of this, and yet it's a complete lie and you are deluded, Canada single payer model works amazingly well, is cheaper by far...
You won't be happy to know the demand is spiking ... but pricing may drop, in a year once they move through the backlog of people buying a car...
