    Use brakes to simulate regen, when regen is not at normal levels.

    I wrote about that somewhere else last year. "Do you think it will be possible in new cars with digital control brakes to have a software update that make the actual brakes act as regenerative braking when reg is not possible? The driving esperience would always be the same. When releasing...

    2015 Supercharger map significantly down-scoped

    I noticed the same thing in the European map. My guess is that they wanted to give priority to the expansion of the network in Asia. Since sales were slow in China, they might have thought it was better to "move" planned Supercharger opening from Europe/US to Asia. I have no data to support my...

    Bjørn's Tesla Model S videos

    Hi Bjørn, I love your videos. Can I suggest you a new one you could make? "Model S roadtrip compilation". This would be a short video (3 min) with all the roadtrips you made so far. Just the title of the trip, the map with statistics (the same you are already showing in your videos) and few...

    Sì, lo so, ho già visto diverse video prove dell'Autopilot, non ho problemi con l'inglese. Dicevo solo che sarebbe utile un video in italiano per tutti (tanti) quelli che non sanno l'inglese, così da far conoscere un po' meglio Tesla anche in Italia. Spero che in futuro avremo in Italia il...

    Mercedes SLS AMG Electric 751HP should have an asterisk * next to it.. "Up to 751HP"

    Yes, most people missed the point. This is not about "Yes, it's electric" or "Wow it's powerfull". This is about how many EV with + 500 HP have been on the market so far. The answer: almost none. What do we know about how the declared HP reflects on real life? Almost nothing. And this SLS AMG...

    Vittorio: grazie per la testimonianza. Stai sempre attento, è ancora in versione Beta. Per il resto... che fortunato a poter usare l'Autopilot! Scanred: anche tu hai l'Autopilot? Sarebbe bello se qualcuno facesse una breve video prova dell'Autopilot da mettere su Youtube. In Italiano non ne...

    Ciao Vittorio. Facci sapere qualcosa dopo che avrai provato l'Autopilot. :smile: Curiosità, il messaggio che è una versione beta, andrebbe usato solo in autostrada, ecc è in italiano o in inglese?

    Supercharger - Valle d'Aosta (largest SC site to date)

    Yes chiesr, it is accessible this way. You have two stalls available. The others are for drivers on the highway arriving from France. Really strange disposition indeed.

    Nonsense article on Elon Musk subsidies

    I think a person who lies in the articles he writes will just ignore the email. I wrote him on twitter, maybe it will get more attention. He just twitted about the article.

    Nonsense article on Elon Musk subsidies

    The whole article is misleading and the writer doesn't seems to understand why subsidies exist, that Tesla is not the only company to get it, that ZEV credits and 7.500 incentives applies to every EV, that Tesla was saved by Daimler investement and not Government, that fossil fuel are subsidised...

    Supercharger - Valle d'Aosta (largest SC site to date)

    You've been unlucky. Now Tesla says it is officially open (and it actually looks clean and ready). You missed it for just a couple of days! But at least you can say you have been the first to plug-in. :biggrin:

    Digital control brakes to simulate reg braking in cold temperatures

    As far as I know, regenerative braking is affected in cold temperatures for a number of miles until the battery warms up. This could be potentially a safety issue because the driver is used to slow down with reg braking. Do you think it will be possible in new cars with digital control brakes...

    Supercharger - Valle d'Aosta (largest SC site to date)

    Updated pictures. Solar panels still missing. In the last picture there is a second "metal shed" that I didn't notice before. If this is part of the SC station as it seems, it could be the shed for the switchgear/cabinets/whatever is needed to make the 14 stalls work. If so, my guess is that...

    Ops... Sorry. I guess 2015 was just the upload date on youtube. My fault.

    Model X Side Mirrors

    From this Elon Musk talk it looks like regulations don't allow cameras to replace side mirrors yet. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=G5o4mhKUTE4 From minute 52:45. Side mirrors at 54:30.

    Supercharger - Valle d'Aosta (largest SC site to date)

    I've been there today and nothing really changed from my last picture. They just covered the metal columns with the white plastic cover. The upper part of the roof is still "empty". It's a couple of weeks that nothing is really going on there. I don't know if they are waiting for the solar...

    Supercharger - Valle d'Aosta (largest SC site to date)

    It is on the highway Aosta/Torino, close to a gasoline station and Carrefour Supermarket. You can look for GPS coordinates at http://supercharge.info (precise with 100 m error).

    Maybe you are right. I haven't see any picture of battery storage SCs, I don't know how big the shed should be. There is still one thing that make me think that this SC might have at least a solar roof. The cost... Back in december I've been to the building site and the informative panel stated...

    Supercharger - Valle d'Aosta (largest SC site to date)

    This is the first Supercharger I've ever seen. I thought that the "white closets" were just standard parts of the SC. Do you think they might be battery storage units? That would be great! No sign of solar roof so far, but it looks promising.

    Supercharger - Valle d'Aosta (largest SC site to date)

    I don't know why.. I can just say that Aosta is in a mountain place, a crossroad between Italy, France and Switzerland. Many people pass through. And wealthy Swiss people pass by to visit Italy. Maybe that's part of the reason. And maybe this will just be the first of many 14 stalls superchargers.

    130,000 miles driven

    Someone just reached 130,000 miles. https://mobile.twitter.com/mgmbeatle/status/591216262975467520/photo/1 It would be interesting to know battery degradation at this mileage.

    Supercharger - Valle d'Aosta (largest SC site to date)

    The Supercharger in Valle d'Aosta (Italy) will be the biggest in the world with 14 stalls. https://m.facebook.com/teslaitaliait/posts/943273442374217 How can I know if there will be an opening event? Btw Valle d'Aosta produces 100% of the electricity from renewable source (hydropower).

    The Supercharger in Aosta looks almost ready. It will be the biggest in the world so far, with 14 stalls. Btw Valle d'Aosta produces 100% electricity from renewable (hydropower). Comments
