No need to be sorry. Based on the other articles and specifically the Ford CEO interviews, I'm still assuming them. Grin. In fact, I'd go so far as to assume that Ford also ends up using the Tesla induction charger that leaked.

Besides being able to Supercharge, I assume that 2025 Ford EVs will also be able to L2 AC charge on standard Tesla home chargers and destination chargers. I also assume that Ford's current and future plans to do vehicle to whatever (V2G, V2H, V2L, etc.) will be done over NACS. I wonder if the...

I can't comment on what you feel like charges hard. This thread could have been really short. In fact it could have been one line: Is Tesla software limiting the launch and 0-60 times of the refreshed non plaid model s/x ? Yes. Tesla Torque limits the non plaid below the plaid. Agreed

They ARE being limited for marketing reasons. That's what price differentiated means. Can we go double or nothing from your previous bets?

Its torque limited. Just like all Teslas have been torque limited for ten years. Each model has different torque limits set to price differentiate the cars and reduce warranty costs.

0-60 it wouldn't matter if the weight were the same, but that isn't what you said. You said... Look at the power graph. If you just could magically increase the max power of the old motors to the max power of the new motors you would still have the BackEMF decline in power at higher speeds. But...

No, each manufacturing location's VINs aren't sequential off the assembly line. And likely not every line will switch to HW4 at the same time. So there will be a VIN at each location before which all are HW3, a range above which all are HW4, and a range in the middle where you have to check...

The cars have a speed limit as well as a torque and power limit. You are mistaken if you think that is the only purpose of the carbon wrap. No. If the LR had three, four or six motors it would still go the same speed for a bit, but only if the torque and power limits were set to the current LR...

VINs get assigned before the manufacturing line, so there is a range of VINs at which a feature can't be had, a range at which it is always had, and a gray area where you aren't sure which feature you're getting.

There is more than a slight difference. The non-carbon wrapped versions have significant higher speed power limiting due to back EMF. Tesla could get higher maximum speeds with different gearing, but without the carbon wraps it takes a long time to get to those speeds.

I clickbait reduced the title but left the dog because “FSD Sux” was already taken.

Maybe a third of a year of production had this configuration, so not exactly unicorns.

Could you level 1 charge at work with your or a second mobile adapter?

Sorry Utah County, Summit County, Wasatch County. No Supercharger love for you… 5 Salt Lake County 2 Washington County 1 Box Elder County 1 Juab County 1 Beaver County If they really wanted to stick it to you they’ll build a two stall supercharger setup, block the stalls on nights and...

Oops

You want to treat the stainless (like bluing) or wrap it? Very different processes give you that same look. You can’t dip the whole car in black oxide, but I’m sure creative people will find a way to get uniform color. As for color matching repairs and fixing scratches, anyone familiar with...

What was the date of the change? Or, if you don’t know, what month and year is your car?

There are a hundred ways to do this, all dependent on the buyer’s comfort level. Stuff like… Zoom walk thru Finding a volunteer locally to proxy test drive Paying a local mechanic to inspect Using an escrow company for payment Paying a shipping company to deliver it Among others. Not moderator...

The fact that the LRS and previous PS have a flat spot on this graph means that those motors could handle more power but are Max_Power limited (i.e. battery amp limited). That the other motors don’t have the flat spot means that Tesla learned not to over engineer the motors for the currently...

This analysis is excellent except for the above statement. At low speeds the torque is limited by a max torque setting. The plaid doesn’t reach the max power limit for several seconds as shown in that graph. Great find on the ratios. And… We know that Teslas are software limited. We’ve known...

Interesting that my mid 2017 only had, from your list, the MCU previously and only needs brakes at 130k miles. The driver’s door panels they’ve comped a couple times but not gotten right. Tesla must have comped the 12v without telling me as 6 years is a long time for that to last. At how many...

A few notes and a question: Don't forget to ask for your pucks back at the tire shop. I lost a set that way. Use jack stands at home. Lost a friend that way. In a pinch, some regular scissor car jacks will fit under the jack points sideways (i.e. so that the part you turn faces the tire rather...

One Once No I had read about them. I saw the original nosecone S featured at a business event and said, if they ever fix the front I’m buying one of those. Similarly when I saw the headlights on the 3 I said, if they ever fix those I’ll buy another. So maybe in October.

Interesting. Thank you. A bit off topic, but do you know how to pull on the option codes on your car? Super curious if you got a DU01 drive unit that would update that code. More on my curiousity here.

At what mileage and years were the drive units replaced? Your example lends itself towards the theory that high mileage cars are better in many ways.

Ingenext are doing something similar and let you use different settings, but I think they are only using settings previously predefined by Tesla and not, say, dialing your torque or power limits up by say a variable few percentages. You used to be able to see these values in diagnostic mode...

In case anyone missed it, the answer to original question is yes… Is Tesla software limiting the launch and 0-60 times of the refreshed non plaid model s/x ? Every Tesla model is both torque and power limited. Both for positioning (differentiation) purposes as well as to limit warranty...

It might last all summer.

I’m kind of surprised they don’t reuse half castings for multiple cars, at least for different model cars that are the same width. It is rumored that eventually there will be a single integrated casting (connected front and rear) when the cars get smaller and the casting machines get bigger.

Why? I would think all new high volume cars would have both two castings and structural packs, since those are big cost savings at scale.

I’ve lost two tires to potholes on 200 S in Salt Lake in the last month, one 19” winter on a slipstream and one 21” summer on an arachnid. Luckily the rims survived. I’ll be driving with one of each on the right side for a few days as a sign of my appreciation for the road crews.

How about eBay: https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_nkw=tesla+mcu&_trksid=p2380057.m4084.l1313

Because we know that older drivers only drive the 3 and Y, whereas younger drivers bought their S and X years ago. / s

All my cars are black. You don’t own a black car. A black car owns you. Still, looks beautiful when clean. Ceramic coating makes a huge difference.

@verygreen is that verygreen?

Also when shaded by snow. Nice to have the option to leave panels partially covered.

You can see the torque and power limit settings on the CANBus or on the screen in diagnostic mode.

I think you are mistaken. We don’t know, but it’s not the one mentioned above. https://insideevs.com/news/658017/tesla-cyberroadster-diy-build-video/ has the channel links embedded. Really unlikely that his car got completed and painted in a month AND didn’t get shown on his channel. Seems...

I use the neighborless version where Amazon opens your garage via MyQ, puts the package inside and closes the garage.

Partially sold. See here.

Some parts have been through multiple revisions until Tesla got it right. It is interesting that cars that are driven more have a higher likelihood of having those earlier parts replaced with more robust, later revisions.

Bentley EV FTW…

I always fall for the sexy librarian. I’ll be buying one.

If it were a dual motor, I assume they’d just use the S100D torque and power settings, so you’d pickup 50kW but not any torque. Those folks might not notice the half second difference in 0-60 and an additional second reduction in the remaining quarter mile. Your AP1 car is pre DU01 (pre Jun...

I don’t have a spare, but the older arachnid rears are wider than the fronts, so you may want to specify which you need. Not sure if 2019 is the new style.

Adam3, this was a great find. In case anyone is wondering the source...
