After some conflicting info on heat pump efficiency/longevity I ask the experts here: Claim 1: Running the heat pump at low fan setting (comfort aside) is more efficient as less air needs to be heated cooled. Some observations in servicemode where lower fanspeed equals lower compressor rpm...

Probably wrong season, but noticed in the winter than hvac enable AC at low temp even in dry conditions. Why is this? I generally used manual and turned of AC as consumption was quite a bit higher. Even in light rain windows don't fog without AC. In heavy rain or high temps AC is required, but I...

A thing I have wondered about for a while now is why Tesla has not implemented heating of battery while braking? When temps are low and battery can`t utilize regen the mechanical brakes do the job now. Shouldn`t it be better if Tesla allowed for the engine to generate Power while braking, but...

Being the geek that I am, technical stuff has always been interessting. Getting my Model S was like moving into geek-heaven. There are several aspects of Teslas that interests me, the battery and BMS is one of them. If other with more knowledge than me are willing to contribute with info and...

I have owned a Model S 60 for over 5 years now (only driven 56 000 km) and so far have I been very lucky, had one door-handle fixed, changed the 12V-battery and a couple of links on suspension (steel) due to premature wear and changed the charger due to one of the 3 phases being unstable when...

I tried searching but didn`t find much about this. Is there a range mode option i TM3 like in TMS\TMX? How well does it heat battery while driving? With preheating I understand that engine heats battery, but what happends when car i driving? Is it heated with waste heat from engine og is engine...

Every EV-producer does it: equip their cars with low rolling resistance summertyres, except Tesla. There are plenty of LRR-tyres with good handling in dry and wet weather. I have run many comparisons with the LRR wintertyre nokian R2 and the old stock goodyear rsa2. In 0-5C temperatures the...

Tesla is now a successfull auto-maker, and soon home-storage-maker. But there are many other arenas where Tesla should compete: - Electric motorcycles and scooters. With their superior battery-technology and cost pr kWh, this should be quite easy. - Electric lawn mowers and other home appliances...

I got the 5.9 upgrade a few weeks ago and has never performed at full range charge ever on my car (I have driven 4250 km total since december). According to visible Tesla my rated range are 381-384 km, what is the usual rated range for other 60-owners?

Untill recently Tesla adviced me to not plug in unless I had to charge due to errors etc when the charging completed (live in Norway), but a recent softwareupdate fixed this and now it just says charging complete etc. I know taht Tesla advises me to have the car plugged in at all times, but the...

Hi, I`ve been thing about selling my RS-A2-tires and buy tires with better handling and lower rolling resistance. I see that a lot of SUV-tires have specs close to TMS. For instance I found the ContiEcoContact 5 with 235\55\R19. It has won numerous prices and no other tire that I know of can...

I live in Norway and I`m unsure about the sottozeroes due to handling on icy roads. I was considering buying the nokian r2-package, but I`m not a huge fan of the 19" rims and they add almost 1500 USD compared to the sottozeroes which I think is way to much considering taxes are excluded when...

Does anyone know what specs these have? 245\45 r19 102 I guess, hopefully not runfalt? Does anyone know the energyratings? I see som sottozeroes has E on fuel, which is bad, and som has C which is okay. The nokian hakka r2 has B, but the wet road conditions are som abysmal (F) that I`m not sure...
