    Elon Musk: Tesla Model S Plaid To Have Structural Battery, 4680 Cells

    My guess is reduced weight. The S is such a heavy vehicle, about 1000lbs more than a 3. I'm assuming the new S should weigh less than a 3 considering its probably going to be made with aluminum again. I'm hoping for slightly more narrow wheels and less rolling resistance with non performance...

    Elon Musk: Tesla Model S Plaid To Have Structural Battery, 4680 Cells

    So this will be a complete redesign on the car. They will need to use the same process as their unicast model y. I wonder if they will even call it a model s. The s and x were more of an experiment, they have learned so much since then. They have spoken about the vehicles being considered...

    Door handle

    There are a few wires and switches in the door handles. There is one that tells the car the door handle is out, it sounds like that one may have a break. There's also one that tells the car the door handle is in. Then there's the paddle that moves the handle in and out.

    I too would love to have a list available of different packs and their capabilities. But only because I'm a huge nerd and into this stuff. My pack was replaced with an ID 65 and not knowing how it differs from my old pack is driving me nuts.

    Chademo is max 37-39kw on the 350v packs, 45kw with the 400v packs.

    Wiki Sudden Loss Of Range With 2019.16.x Software

    I suppose range mode could help the temperature issue right? Tesla said range mode limits cabin climate and also more or less passively manages the battery temps. It doesn't heat/cool the battery as much to maintain perfect temps. It doesn't preheat the battery for charging. If it doesn't...

    Battery fan problem when supercharging

    Do you recall if there was anyone next to you when charging? Only the new chargers don't share current with their neighbor stall. If there was someone next to you charging there and was a v2 charger then that could explain it. Maybe if you give the address of the charger someone can tell you...

    Tesla ain't going to give anyone *sugar* all. My next ev will probably be a Hyundai or VW. They have too much demand and not enough competition for them to worry about bad publicity or losing costumers.

    70D (original) Supercharging Rate

    This is because of the update last May 2019. It's referred to as chargegate. There's a whole 600 page long shitshow of a thread going on here. It's "normal" as all pre facelift owners are experiencing the downgrade.

    "grandfathered in" free supercharging?

    It's my understanding that the older vehicles got lifetime access to free supercharging tied to the vin. Newer ones have it tied to the owner I think. I also believe that if a car gets sold back to Tesla like a trade in Tesla will strip the free surcharging? Be warned that older vehicles have...

    Would you buy a Model S with CATL battery?

    The new batteries are being used in the standard range version due to energy density. I'm not sure they could fit enough batteries to make it a long range version with the CATL cells.

    Range mode doesnt use energy to heat the battery. Maybe your vehicle is having trouble keeping it cool. A trick I saw was to remove the surround in the frunk. It gives the radiators more airflow

    Any success in getting low SC rates addresses?

    It's because of the update they pushed last June. All free facelift cars are affected. The general equation is Chargerate + SOC% = 100 +/-5 So at 30% you will get 70kw At 50% you will get 50kw Etc

    If that's right, it will run without the tegra 3 board installed but the rest of the MCU still needs to be plugged in. Cars with free Supercharging can apparently still supercharge with a dead tegra board. I wonder what would happen if someone was to restart the MCU right before charging.
