they should let you slow it down if the supercharger isn't busy. -avoid the car permanently lowering the SC rate from too much use, save the limited # of full speed charges for when you need them. -avoid the peak rates in states that have 2 tier pricing - it's double price above 60 kW.

efficiency as you are describing it means % of power delivered through battery-inverter-motor-wheels. efficiency stated as wh/mi is energy it takes to go a distance. second one is dependent on weight you are rolling on flexible tires. and I think Tesla's site is using their estimate of an...

the radar can detect the car in front, even if cameras can't. Usually you should be able to see you are in stop and go traffic for miles. They should have an aggressiveness setting for stop and go instead of just maintaining a distance. dial it to accelerate a little slower than the car in...

the wood would be better if there were other trim pieces to match. now it looks like a random 2x4 sitting in the vent that has nothing to do with the rest of the car.

those robots they have hundreds of copies of are somewhat interchangeable. have replaceable "hand" parts to do different tasks, or you just switch the program for what task they are doing. the release candidates they said were built with production intent tooling, so the final robots. but...

"Coming from" is also not very indicative of what someone would be buying if the Model 3 did not exist. People fresh out of college rarely get a luxury/premium car, and will drive a cheaper one until they can afford the real car they want. We should expect a large number of people buying any...

Yep, the problem is "features" like autonomy are right now an $8000 barely working toy. features like a speedometer, range, and basic safety warnings like autopilot disengage, directly in view are concerning a ton of reservation holders, and probably saved tesla like $100 by not including. I...

I would guess difficulty of ramping up production for the motors is easier than battery packs, both way easier than final car assembly if you consider number of unique tasks they have to complete. on previous model launches they launched the fully optioned models first to drive revenue and...

probably in May-June they invite tesla sapcex employees, (heard estimates of 10,000) it may take a few months to work through those as the lines start up. So half way though producing those they invite current tesla owners in cali. likely another 10-20k, half way through that they do all US...

They need to do something to keep the 3 from cannibalizing S sales, especially as the backlog in 3 orders gets shorter. The 3's interior is almost the same as an S viewed from the side, but viewed from the front it's narrower. it's more efficient due to lower drag and lighter. A base model S...

true, but i think a lot of that is due to running BMS controls, and especially heating or cooling, at the same time, they could potentially optimize it better for low voltage charging through the DC voltage transformer, or doing something like letting the solar DC feed 1 battery module at a...

Obviously there's a lot of demand, even if the (assumed) cost is not justified due to the small size and poor sun angle/exposure. People will buy it, it's not hard for tesla to put the PVs in the cars when they already have a glass roof, have a plant putting solar cells in another glass roof...
