    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    It could be because they don't think they're self-sustaining. I think they're being cautious about the risk of a prolonged and deep recession and are hedging against that. For instance, if FCA goes under, there goes $1.5+ billion in emissions credit payments, plus the normal drop in auto sales...

    Wiki Sudden Loss Of Range With 2019.16.x Software

    It might not be an excuse if battery manufacturing works out. Why pay Panasonic/etc for replacement cells if they can manufacturer their own for a fraction of the cost?

    Wiki Sudden Loss Of Range With 2019.16.x Software

    Even the currently warranty is somewhat nebulous when Tesla can limit the max pack/cell voltage. The cars are tested/certified at some max pack/cell voltage, and should operate there for the life of the vehicle. If Tesla decides to reduce the max pack/cell voltage, and that reduces degradation...

    It's highly speculative. The most NHTSA can fine Tesla for this is $111+ million. NHTSA, Investigating Tesla Fire Reports, Demands Data on Battery Software Changes With that said, if delaying can save Tesla $5k per pack, then there would only need to be 25k cars or more with this problem for...

    Charge limit to 80% vs 90%. Will 90% significantly degard battery capacity?

    Where does it say the 100-70% cycles are done 3x more than the 100-10%? I think both had a 2 hour charge, a 10 hour rest, a 2 hour discharge, and another 10 hour rest, and the higher SOC(average) is what's really hurting capacity of the 100-70% category (at 28C).

    Charge limit to 80% vs 90%. Will 90% significantly degard battery capacity?

    Doh! It should have been this pdf. All things being equal, larger SOCs are harder on batteries, but SOC(average) tends to be more detrimental, to the point where losses from it can be much greater than losses from larger SOCs. (page 8) https://www.nrel.gov/docs/fy16osti/66708.pdf

    Suddenly lost 10 miles of range.

    Still showing an estimated 282 miles at 90% in the app, so I haven't seen anything yet, knock on wood. Even brand new it wouldn't go past I think 306 out of 310, so my pack is probably missing a few cell connections to begin with.

    Charge limit to 80% vs 90%. Will 90% significantly degard battery capacity?

    Something else to consider is that pack degradation as a function of state of charge (SoC) tends to show up much later in life. There will likely be minimal differences in capacity/lifespan between a battery charged to 60% and a battery charged to 90% up until there isn't, at which point the...

    Charge limit to 80% vs 90%. Will 90% significantly degard battery capacity?

    The lower you go the better. Tesla says it themselves. https://iaspub.epa.gov/otaqpub/display_file.jsp?docid=49402&flag=1 Having said that, you'll likely see the greatest benefit on the top as opposed to on the bottom. So going from 90% to 80% will be more beneficial than going from 60% to 50%.

    Here's my wild speculation for the day. A lot of the illness we're seeing isn't just because of COVID-19, it's because of other concurrent viral infections. If COVID-19 has the ability to mediate it's host's immune system to stick around for longer than it would otherwise, that could allow other...

    I gotcha. My point was that some people, like my family, seem to have much more tolerance for pain, discomfort, and disability, and while most providers would rather go than be put on certain kinds of support, others like us may not share that preference. In my experience providers tend to...

    Are there any forms of life support that don't have more complications than whatever the next step down is? I feel like more/greater complications with more invasive life support systems is just a side effect of how ill the patient is. I think it's fairly safe to say that, you, as a...

    All models are detached from reality. :p In general, I think most epidemiological models will have more variance in predictions earlier in an event and less later, which may seem counter-intuitive, but should be normal.

    I'm not sure if R0 will drop to 0, but I think it's safe to say it'll converge to a smaller range of values than in the distant future than it's range of values in the near future. The same likely applies to demographics because the CFR depends on the interaction between them and the local R0...

    Coronavirus

    The higher certainty in deaths per day later could just be because most of the country is under shelter in place orders now, which at some point should lead to a fairly predictable rate of infection and IFR. Before the IFR stabilizes, it would be affected by what regions implemented shelter in...

    Coronavirus

    Maybe because there's not much variance over longer timer horizons. If a significant portion of a population gets infected, and you have a good idea of the IFR, then it's should be fairly straightforward to estimate the total number of deaths at some point in the distant future. The number of...

    Yup. Cuomo's talk today covered using modified CPAP versus modified BiPAP versus ventilators. Yes, ventilators can do things modified CPAP/BiPAP can't do, but they can be used in a pinch for someone who doesn't need a ventilator but also isn't able to get by with just supplemental oxygen.

    It was picked because it's used to treat autoimmune disorders. Loratadine, Omeprazole, and so on aren't used to treat any autoimmune disorders AFAIK. Other drugs used to treat autoimmune disorders, like Methotrexate, are I think off the table because some of the side effects affect the lungs.

    From what I've read, Hydrocephalus/Ventriculomegaly tend to occur with other disorders, and it's hard to separate the symptoms from symptoms of other disorders.

    Yeah, realistically level 2 and optimistically level 3.

It may still be significantly safer on average, but not at least twice as safe as a...

    Ugh, that's a little bootsy. Have you asked them to show you how much energy the battery has via the diagnostic menu? Any tech should be able to do that at a service center. Correlating that with SOC should provide good feedback about how much capacity has dropped.

    If it's not an issue with tire traction, my suspicion is that a small layer of ice is freezing on the pads, so they stop the car when they initially actuate, but after however many seconds the ice melts after absorbing enough heat from the rotors and the car rolls downhill. I think someone...
