    2023 Model Y LR Battery Capacity?

    I don't think we have enough information about the nature of the tests and how (or if) it distorts responses like current consumed to recharge. Are these actual test results, or are they projected results based on some physical testing? I'm not able to say how reflective of reality those figures...

    2023 Model Y LR Battery Capacity?

    Yeah, they don't actually list the units as amp-hours, but I've checked a number of different vehicles with known battery sizes and it checks out. These numbers aren't as helpful for some General Motors vehicles, as they've taken to submitting lower-than-nominal voltages here.

    2023 Model Y LR Battery Capacity?

    "Recharge Event Energy (kiloWatt-hours) 91.115" This is how much energy it took to replace the energy drained from the battery including losses, from what I can tell. The figure I originally stated, 84.6 kWh, is derived from multiplying nominal voltage by capacity in Ah. Deciphering some these...

    How to charge a newly purchased used car before it's added to my tesla account.

    Thanks, and apologies for the slow response. I got the car at the dealer and the transfer happened within minutes. Best possible result.

    How to charge a newly purchased used car before it's added to my tesla account.

    How long did it take Tesla to add the car to your app after you submitted the bill of sale? I'm supposed to travel to Chicago on Saturday to pick up a used Model 3, and I need to be able to drive right away so I can get back in time for an important event super-early Monday morning. Am super...

    Stanphyl Capital and Mark Spiegel

    See, this is what I was thinking. The revenue stream from his poorly managed fund doesn't seem like enough to support his lifestyle: Porsche, Manhatten condo, etc. And who is going to continue to pay someone to perform half as well as the S&P? So many questions...

    The Drive attacks Fred Lambert, Electrek

    To be fair, he's probably not on TMC for journalism. Anyway, I think The Drive has had pretty good Tesla articles, though I personally think the author of this piece has a deeply held bias against the company, which is pretty evident (again, IMO) if you read his tweets and articles. That...

    Semi takes its first business trip

    You know, some of those shorts (and probably an "unbiased" auto journalist or two), are so desperate for unflattering Tesla stories, I would not be surprised if they hired people to follow the trucks on their behalf. As a writer myself, I would love to be following them, though. Even trouble...

    Tesla Model 3 First Drive Reviews

    The following is a compilation of observations not in my published review, that I posted on a different forum. While it's relatively fresh in my mind, I should probably mention a couple things about its ergonomics. As I mention in the piece, the front seat was quite comfortable for me. It was...

    Tesla Model 3 First Drive Reviews

    If I lived in California, or in just about any other city in Florida, I would have. Certainly I worked with Tesla to try to get one to me on several occasions. Unlike many of my colleagues, I can't even get media cars from the traditional OEMs from fleet services. When an opportunity presents...

    Electric Motorcycles

    Energica Eva EsseEsse9 just debuted at EICMA. Not sure if this is what @lolachampcar is looking for, but it is more powerful than an SR (80 kW!). And it's more affordable than than their top-of-the-line sportbike, the Ego.

    What are you considering as a next bike? Another Zero, or maybe an Energica? Or Lightning, or Sarolea? Or Lito? Tacita or Curtiss? Alta? Many choices now, depending on what, exactly, you want from a bike and your budget.

    Confederate Motors is rebranding as Curtiss Motorcycle Co and is working with Zero Motorcycles to make an electric cruiser with 2 motors putting out 175 horsepower. Here's a sketch the designer did a couple years back as an exercise. The new bike will not look like this, of course, though it...

    In the vein of established brand Euro electrics coming to America, there is also the BMW C Evolution. This could do pretty well, at least in States were incentives bring it close to price parity with gas models. Also, this is the updated version of this bike. I calculated it has a 12.5 kWh...

    Man, this thread has been quiet for a while. The KTM Freeride E-XC has finally been brought over to the US market. Personally, I think it's overpriced, considering the (small) size of the battery, but it's supposed to be pretty sweet to ride, and has the KTM name behind it.

    Z Electric Vehicles (ZEV) Scooters?

    Tesla talking to other OEM about Supercharger sharing, could well be Aston Martin.

    Tesla would allow that, but Mission Motorcycles would have to pay for the privilege and its bikes would have to be capable of dealing with a 135 kW power source.
