My other two Evs were a Chevy bolt 0-60 mph in 7.8 secs and my wife’s Niro ev o-60 mph in 7.6 secs, the MY 0-60 in 4.5 secs, a quantum leap me. I can’t stop smiling since I got this car.

Li ion batteries top balance, therefore the bms is balancing all the cells to the same voltage. As there roughly 7000 individual cells this could take awhile. It is recommended to top balance every two to three months. This is a very rudimentary explanation, I am sure there are more experienced...

Just drove my brand new red MY LR dual motor from San Francisco to wine country, through Marin county. It is an absolute blast to drive, hit 110 mph without realizing it. This is most fun I have had in a car since my Renault Gordini rally car. This is my third ev, so now I finally get why you...

Has anyone heard anything about the possible capabilities of M3 and MY to charge bidirectionally?

In purely scientific terms keeping the factory open is totally illogical. There is empirical data from around the world that tells us that if we don’t act now to stop the spread of the virus we could have up to a million cases in a month. Our health care system will be overwhelmed and the number...

Six Bay Area counties including Alameda is going to shelter in place starting 12:00 am Tuesday, this may mean the Tesla factory in Fremont may have to shut down for a few weeks.

I found this on YouTube.

Congrats guys, very exciting, keep us updated as your orders progress. Remember there is a whole lot of us waiting for our MY ‘s.

You are correct this is a cost reduction exercise, but lifepo4 batteries are inherently much safer than li ion, also they are improving rapidly in energy density and weight.

I have gone with a 3.5Kw grid tied system and a separate off grid system that has 12Kw of lifepo4 battery storage. I designed, built and installed both systems myself and after the 30% federal tax credit the total cost for me was $10,000. I live in California so the roi for the grid tied system...

Confirmed: MIC Tesla Model 3 Will Have Prismatic LFP Cells It look Tesla is going to lifepo4 prismatic cells for the M3 in China.

Excellent diplomatic answer. My curiosity on the range issue is fueled by the 1000 km (620 mile) challenge, which a certain you tuber has popularized. He managed the 1000 km in 10 hours driving a model 3 long range performance. The idea behind this challenge is to show that an ev can perform as...

Thanks for the explanations. So by using the .75 scalar instead of the traditional .70 for MY is Tesla exaggerating the the range?

could you explain for us neophytes what 2 cycle testing and 5 cycle testing are.Also you mention scalar of .70 and .75 as being significant, what is a scalar.

I have been waiting for a small ev suv with 300+ mile range, room for 5 adults, ability to charge 10%-80% in less than 30 minutes, awd. This car pretty much covers all the bases including the $50k price for me. The question is, will this car start the avalanche to ev conversion?

If your 300,000 mile or 1,000,000 mile figures are correct then battery longevity is not an issue, good to know, thanks.

Thanks for the post, I have been driving an ev for about three years so I am experienced in long distance driving and how to fast charge for maximum range. What I am hoping is to get data on how to get maximum battery longevity with home charging.

I am going to buy my model y so battery longevity has become very important. I designed and built my own 12 Kw battery backup system using lifepo4 batteries. With those batteries if you cycle between 25% and 75% soc you can increase cycle life x4. There is a lot of data to support the fourfold...

That is great news if the adapter is included, thanks for the reply.

I drove the model 3 long range dual motor a couple of times before deciding to order the model y. I believe that the 3 and y share roughly 80% of their parts, also the 3 has been in production for 3 years. Therefore for me it is not much of a leap of faith to order a y before driving it. My y...

I have ordered a model y, I have a Juicebox 40 amp level 2 charger which I use to charge my Bolt. I believe I will Need an adapter to go from the j 1772 connector to the model y, any suggestions?

Ordered model y dual motor long range.

The six months estimate is based on my model y configuration, long range dual motor. So the person I talked to took into consideration that many of the orders were for the lowest priced rear wheel drive version which they are probably not going to make until next year. Just to clarify, the...

The 250,000 number comes directly from the Tesla sales department, it is a very credible figure.

Ordered my Y last week, there are roughly 250,000 orders on the books, should get the car in six months.

I ordered my Model Y long range dual motor last week. Tesla told me, 250,000 orders on the books and I should get mine in about six months.

Yes I do, but I cannot use it on Model Y order yet. But when I get my vin I will be able to use it at that time.

I just talked to Tesla and they told me that there are about 250,000 orders and I should expect my Model Y long range dual motor in about six months. I only ordered mine last week so I am probably at the back of the line, but six months sounds great. Also they told me that I can add a referral...
