Expected/promised: 200 kWh 1.9 0-60 mph quick to 400 kph 1,000+ km EPA range 3 motors We have to assume these motors would be big fat Performance induction ones to have such short range in a small frontal surface car. At the same time, we need to assume a 2,000 kg car, if not more. Perhaps...

https://electrek.co/2019/04/09/tesla-model-3-performance-nurburgring-race-track/ A nice first look, something many recovering petrol heads have been waiting for. NOT driven in Track Mode here. The updated P brakes do overheat within minute, driver decides to take it easier. So we don't know...

Elon Musk says Tesla will be profitable for 'all quarters going forward' I know, everyone's favorite publication. It was the one that had the quote that came up first in Google. Something may have happened to make this far from reality. I don't need to drag all that up in this particular post...

Just a bit more than a day's production was left undelivered, is that what it means? Where did over 5,000 units go that are unaccounted for? Export? After Q3 there were 8,048 in transit. Buy how much could they realistically reduce that? What's the catch? Did Model 3's become service fleet...

I'm curious for the first reports on how this thing will perform charging. Long Range seems to top out the Super Charger at 120kW for a bit of a session, as do Model S and X in some versions and conditions. Will the MR just charge slower or will it in fact hit a similar peak speed? This might...

Really, for a car company (albeit not exclusively), TSLA doesn't have that much debt on the books relative to achieve sales, even when accepting 18Q3 as a long term ceiling of sorts. There's now sufficient profit to build GF3 in China and do so quickly, apparently. No need for more debt or an...

Vraagje. Spreken Tesla rijders elkaar hier nog op aan, of is het te laat en kan iedereen zomaar een Tesla kopen? Vanmorgen, ochtendspits Rotterdam Centrum. Blauwe Model S70 geeft 3x rechts aan, houdt in steeds in zonder rechts te gaan, terwijl elke afslag er totaal anders uit ziet. Een smal...

What can we reasonably expect? Say, the driver has a fit on the highway, does the car sense it before traffic issues arize, and take over? Pull over with emergency lights blinking? AP cars drive to the destination with minimum input from the driver. AP2.5 will (should) notice the driver is not...

Although diehard fans will now embrace every molecule that makes up Model 3, it's not what most people wanted before details came out. - instrument cluster, most would still like that for their 2018 car - How much extra in parts does a 17" screen built into a dash pose? - black only, or $1K...

Anyone interested to help list these items? As an obcessed geek I won't sleep well until I've learned all the in-depths specs of the batteries and motors. Now that I mention it, in all these many threads and articles, no-one seems to have mentioned motor- or battery power. Astonishing, with so...

Panoz unveils all-electric GT project for Le Mans I love this to bits. I've been advocating dual battery chemistry setups for performance and economy gains for a while. Until a chemistry hits the market that gets bot great density and really high charge rate (for regenerative braking), it's the...

Meneer rijdt even een rondje van 6000km, en komt ook onze Bollenvelden aandoen. De 16e flitst hij door NL, rijdt vanuit Brussel naar Amsterdam. Wie houdt zijn schema al in de gaten? Ik ben niet de handigste daarmee. Wordt er gecarpoold? Ik ben in Rotterdam. Zitten hier nog andere moderators...

Hear me out now. Apart from being cheaper to produce (/kWh) the new 2170 cells will allow for more capaciy in a given pack size. 40% more than the 2012 85kWh pack, according to JB Straubel. And that may well be without the extra utilization of 5mm head space through the longer cells. So, close...
