Separate names with a comma.
Correct, but it's difficult to quantify. Also, after enough supercharging, you will begin to notice a slower max charge speed, even when ideal...
The argument would be, while it’s not pleasant to look at, it’s still functioning and doing its job ‘within spec.’ Don’t get me wrong, I would...
This is pretty common with any flooded/sealed lead acid battery and may be considered to be ‘within spec’ for this reason. The best product to...
One should not expect supercharging speeds approaching 200 kW, unless: - the SoC is below 20-25% - the battery has preconditioned to ideal temps...
While the temperatures in your area are mild, your overnight lows are still fairly cold at 50F (especially for lithium batteries with less...
What about the thread right next to this one that is an example of how many more miles you can consume in cold weather, compared to actual miles...
One of the most important things to know when operating an EV in such cold temperatures is that you cannot charge the battery if it's near/below...
What’s the point of charging the battery when it was last warm? o_O That makes no sense and will yield less heat in the pack if it will be...
Yeah, I watched all of the Munro teardowns, which were all very informative. The heat pump can definitely consume a decent amount of energy if it...
I think it makes up a portion of the vampire drain when you take into account how often it must charge the 12v, which has a lot to do with the...
I too am considering the lithium replacement for the 12v battery. Once you understand the advantages, it’s easier to get over the initial cost....
I bet the extra energy is going to the heat pump so that it can focus on scavenging heat from the air, which would explain all of the condenser...
There is a point where that statement is no longer true. To clarify, lithium batteries age best the closer they are to their 'nominal voltage,'...
How long did the car sit in the garage prior to preconditioning?
What’s the logic in not including the module during the production process then? Having to send a mobile tech to spend an hour installing it isn’t...
Well, that didn't happen for me. I did have a mobile tech visit for something else, but not for the homelink install.
I couldn't agree more. To make matters worse, you have to bring your car into service in order for them to install the module. You would think...
I would say that the battery will always be the main constraint. If you're worried about flat spotting your tires, you're not driving your EV...
Agreed. This is all having to do with efficiency. ;)
So I confirmed this morning that the MY does warm the battery when unplugged and preconditioning is active. However, I did learn some differences...
I updated my previous post to clarify that it does warm the battery still when it's unplugged, which is apparently for increasing range and...
I have to disagree. The manual doesn't mention anything having to do with comfort in it's language when it's talking about preconditioning in cold...
The important part to note is that it will only do so as needed, and this may be dependent on cell temp in combination with whether or not you’re...
Well yeah, I thought it was safe to assume that we’re all talking about MY’s in this part of the forum. I’m afraid to say that you’re incorrect...
The heat pump scavenges heat from a combination of heat sources, including the battery, motors, computer, and outside air condenser coil. A...
You probably drive your ICE the way the manufacturer suggests... but you're not interested in following what Tesla suggests? Wait.. huh? Your...
I can assure you that it did not warm the battery when I tested this yesterday morning after the car had sat all night long, but I didn't check...
I just noticed that the graph's time axis is inaccurate. The data on the graph was collected over 17 min, but the time axis makes it appear as if...
Considering that the heat pump consumes between 500 and 1500 watts when maintaining a cabin temperature, I would estimate using about 1.5 - 3 kWh...
I thought it might be useful to share what I’m able to see using my Juicebox charger when it comes to preconditioning before departure. The screen...
But not preconditioning at those temperatures is skewing the numbers. This would be similar to constantly driving your ICE a short distance in...
Charging on 120v or 240v? Preconditioning before departure? Using utility power? On my i3, I see about a 20-30% reduction in range during the...
Good eye! We were visiting the Tulalip Outlets and decided to go out of our way to try a supercharger for the first time. After becoming very...
The reasoning behind this basically boils down to the difference between current vs power. Current is the flow of electrons, measured in amps....
Calculated Amp-hour Capacity
Elon: 2020. Ask, and you shall receive.. < click > that would be hilarious as some things you don’t fully appreciate until they are gone.
Capacity is temporarily reduced by cold temperatures. I’m betting that the capacity starts to go up a month or two after when the outdoor temps go up.
You should watch the latest videos on YouTube that demonstrate what is going in terms of heat recovery and how the battery is used as thermal...
I highly doubt your pack is experiencing that level of degradation, especially with such little DC charging. I have a hunch that this is more...
I’m confident that the BMS is constantly topping up the 12v battery, whether or not it’s driving/charging, especially when you consider how...
I would add the fact that there are significant benefits to being able to charge on 240v and that this should be a high priority to make available...
Well that took awhile... I’m charging two EV’s from this charger, so I had to distinguish between the two using the graphs to make sure I was...
Over the last 2800 miles, my driving energy consumption rate is at 309 Wh/mile... thanks to my lead foot.
My Juicebox charger.
You were saying? [ATTACH]
From my perspective, your example is just reinforcing my point.. the fact of the matter is that the MY has been proven to be super efficient at...
Thanks so much for taking the time to share this data. Consider me subscribed!!
Last I checked, but no other car manufacturer has features like sentry mode, cabin preconditioning for up to 4 hours, dog mode, camp mode, super...
I can see this energy usage when charging through a JuiceBox.
Correct. A more transparent way to say it is how much energy does it take to drive a given distance. That should not include everything that is...
