Separate names with a comma.
Wild speculation here- but perhaps a P100D makes such a good "test drive" that the car has had some moonlight trips to show off its stripes. Could...
Are the 12v battery issues covered by warantee?
Now ya got me wondering - how long does the 12v last? Typically a lead-acid battery in the heat of the desert needs replacing in 3 years. (my...
Your opening paragraph is exactly the point I was trying to make. You just phrased it much better. "In supercharging, they would be only of...
OK - please educate me. I thought a Capacitor would accept a high rate of "supercharger" - making the time for filling brief. Then the capacitor...
When I worked in the oil patch - way back in the last century - I found that there was a 25% "tax" on oil removed (Severance Tax) from the lease-...
Dear WDolson - you keep rolling out bits of life in such a gentle and wise way that you must have been a great fellow to be around during working...
My battery pack is "misbehaving" - The 'not ready to regen' lite comes on at all ranges of charge % and at warm (50F) temperatures. It also goes...
So two questions here - 1) are 2170 cells "better" than 18650 cells. If it was a zero cost decision - would I choose the pile on the left or the...
My service guy has not said NO to any reasonable request. You must have some experience that give to the "never Yes" point of view. Do you think...
When a battery is needing to be replaced - can an owner request installing a 100 pack instead of a 75 pack? Extra cost, sure, but can one upgrade...
Lets say- you were just rebuffed by GM as being against unions. Lets say you have a bunch of ex-union employees in your Fremont plant that have...
Weird sound when it squats down (unless thats not the car but the video sound track). Did you notice it lifts front at a diff rate than rear?
spoiler alert - I dont want my rear to get any bigger. no more revisions
shurr [and of course] - coming home, you would have to park in the drive way, unplug, park and re-plug... I was just thinking about departure and...
Makes sence to just charge one car, then the other - sequential instead of simultaneous. I would interrupt one car - unplug and move the cable out...
Agree that cars are a depreciating asset - almost always. I did buy TSLA stock - several tranches. Now, with that detail out of the way - what is...
I really hope that the price INCREASES. As an owner of a 2016 refresh 60/75....I want my resale value to Increase, not crater. I would be...
Interesting tangent...this thread started as being about the Semi sized loads - but the discussions are now on micro delivery. The Semi is...
So there are cases where variety of parts need to be consolidated into a warehouse for assembly and repackaging. But there are also cases where...
Now, the tricky part...insert a dotted line into the future. What would the stock do iff. if there were no short sellers, no FUD, just market...
jhm makes a good case....but I was thinking that the Mega charger system would be expensive, so it would be better if the purchaser of the semi...
So what I read here is that Tesla bought a trucking company....a company that deploys trucks to haul goods. They did not buy a truck manufacturing...
ya know- I too disagree. This was sarcasm, snark, obvious error in thinking - I know that a company that makes one thing well does not necessarily...
My arm-chair engineering says "if you make battery cans---C sized, D sized, AA sized or 2170 sized...you either make good cans or bad cans. If...
I just watched a video comparing 6 brands of battery cells and Panasonic made "the worst" of the cells tested. Tesla is hitching their future to...
GigaGrunt said 2170 cells from Panasonic are used exclusively in Model 3 battery packs with current production. All Energy products are fed with...
So I saw a carousel producing "machine gun" rate of cells. They produce a jelly-roll, then insert it into the can. Is there recyclable stuff in...
Question(s)...The GF produces a lot of battery cells. Do they all meet specs? Do the "first quality" get prioritized into the car packs, and the...
Now THIS is an answer. I asked and you delivered in spades. Thanks.
I read and re-read your message. I must be thick today because I cannot figure out what you said. Could you post a picture of a Type 2 CCS plug...
Samsung? Do they make 18650 or 2170 cells, or did Australia get a whole new form factor? Can they make enough to fill other grid packages? I...
I have a battery supply question.....The GF makes a ton of 2170 cells, but not enough to satisfy the Model 3 pack demands. How can the Energy...
I have a supercharger question - not sure where to ask it, so here it is on a weak link to the general topic. CCS has a ring of posts on top of a...
You are right - after one hand slam, I was much more careful. "Fool me once- shame on me..." I am trainable. The door closed when I stepped on...
I got a two day test drive in Model x with falcon doors. Also it had self closing front doors. I get into cars butt first, and hang on to the...
Further - I have heard that the Gov. has a back room deal with APS that says- even if the proposition passes and requires APS to install more...
And the VW battery is a pouch form, not a can (18650 or 2170). My drone pouch batteries always puffed up after a bit of use. I'm not confidant...
When I put in the 14-50 socket, I also ran a 20 amp 120v utility box. I installed a hook for my charger cable - a nice Tesla one that holds the...
Ahh- I thought you had some type of door pocket. I miss that socket in my Model S. Your luggage seems like a good product - just not what my...
Ive now seen more "official" tasks for GF3 - They want to make "car parts" soon (2019). They are NOT saying finished cars, and they are not...
What are "Oscar and Hamish side pockets"? Tell me more about your stuff!!
I bought Tesla rubber mats - front and rear, but not trunk - from Tesla. They seem to be the same product as WeatherTec - but with the Tesla...
So - three years is your bet? I don't know how long GF1 took - just grabbed a date from the air that felt about right. Was actually hoping...
Any bets as to how long it will take to make the first battery? GF1 took - 3 years? - from ground breaking.
So - there is no way to have front view and rear view at the same time? I pull into my garage and advance toward my tool box. I have my rear...
So at GF1 - they need to build a city to have housing to have workers to build batteries to build cars. They have "only" built a battery factory,...
Cool. I have faith in you guys. You have spent time, money and brain cells to get this right. I may still, yet, jump back into this project and...
So there is a new Version 9 that does lots of things to the dash. My rear camera is now under a couple of clicks, and I use it to place my car...
What? The power company that makes the power does NOT own the distribution system? The grid guys can buy from whatever supplier they wish?...
