    [Europe] Twin-charger: how does it work, and will it support 3-phase?

    [Europe] Twin-charger: how does it work, and will it support 3-phase?

    Ok, but I really don't se the advantages of the twin charger? Only on a normal public 1-phase 16a 230v charging station, though. Tesla says the standard charger will give 10 kw. That must be 25A 3 phase 230v = apx 9900w. (50km/hour)= 10 hours chargingtime. Therefore I think it is wrong that...

    [Europe] Twin-charger: how does it work, and will it support 3-phase?

    I wonder, the twin charger, is it necessary? Elon have confirmed that eu-cars will be suited for 3 phase charging. How does the twin charger work? Ex: Do I have to have 2 separate 240v 16 A outlets with separate fuses to use the twin charger ? If so, why not install 240v 3-phase 80a in...

    There seem to be new options for Europe. Updates no later than April 15 !!!

    I'm soooo confused, when I finally reached my decision of which color the car will have, I have to take more decisions... Does anyone order the P+? The other packages are a must, but spending 37.000NOK additional for the P+? Ahhhh......:):(

    EU finalize and deliveries

    Ok,so then it really cost NOK 37000,- for this ....hmm what to do? Is it really worth it? I have seen some critical remarks to the suspension of this car, lack of the sporty feeling. US cars are not well known to be too sporty:) It is now starting to be a expensive car, passing NOK 710.000,-...

    EU finalize and deliveries

    Here is the answer i got from Teslas productsecialist: All about Perf + : The Performance Plus suspension tune was developed with the driver in mind. The re-tuned dampers add a very comfortable, yet firm ride that help to transform the Model S into a driver’s car. The dampers work with an...

    Det samme gjaldt Roadsteren også. Den er montert i UK, da er den et EU-produkt. Import til Eu-land fra eksempelvis US gir "eu-toll". Så om vi norske Roadstereiere vil eksportere til Eu går det fint uten at de må betale toll:) fint for meg om jeg vil selge Roadster'n:) - - - Updated - - - I...

    Are those shocks with adjustable height? Regardring the tire/wheel size: as long as the circum does not change more than 1-2percent, this can not in any way effect the regen/ tractionC? The wheel will use apx. the same time in one rotation and roll the same distance as the original rims.

    Hmmmm.. No one that have modified their Roadster?
