It is likely that going in excess of 120kW would cause too much heat and therefore power has to be lowered earlier in the process and thus could increase overall charging time. However, the difference in charging power at higher SoC looks far greater than the 11% higher cell count (assuming the...

Yes, they also work with the new slipstream wheels. They are handmade in Germany, therefore not cheap to manufacture, and you need mounting parts which are hard to get and not cheap either. Still, the cost is less than a 5kWh Battery upgrade and less than the premium you pay for 21"wheels...

The Topic says: Aerodynamic improvement of Model S - 6% more Range. In a nutshell, I've been testing the prototype of those carbon fibre wheel covers for roughly 15.000 miles by now, from low speeds to 155mph on the German Autobahn, from north sea to the mediteranean, and I've even been up on...

Hi scottm, I have designed and constructed carbon fibre wheel covers that increase the range of an existing Model S by additional 6%. They are way better than the original Tesla aero wheels used to be, because the aerodynamic quality is significantly better. Additionaly, you don't have to have...

Hi Tesla owners! I am contemplating having a Modesta Treatment for my Tesla Models S, and I've come across the very good Modesta Coatings. One of them, the Modesta BC-05 claims to make a difference in aerodynamic drag by getting cd -0.02 or 5 km/h (approx 3mph). What I wanted to know is: is...

Hi Model S drivers, last week I made a test drive in a Model S 85D, just to encounter the charge port was still open when I was on the Autobahn (nowhere close to a possible stop). Does anyone outside the United States have the auto-closing charge port door? I ask because I thought all Dual...

wk057, thank you very much for your time and effort you put into this, I really appreaciate that! :))

Ah ok....of course, if there's any way air can get under the suction cup, then theres no remedy but to replace it. One step worth trying though (if not already done yet) is to thoroughly clean both window and suction cup surfaces with 94% alcohol on a fresh, clean piece of cloth, and let both...

Why not use the suctioning mount on the left side window? Should be easily removable and adjustable. Of course, there shouldn't be driving situations where you have to lower the driver window ;) Sounds like a well thought, reasonable test setup! I'm curious what findings you will get!
