    Next-Gen Tesla Roadster Electric Range To Be Outrageous

    There’s a magical number that Musk says will be surpassed. The upcoming, all-new Tesla Roadster will have the highest electric range of any production EV ever made. In fact, it’s electric range will exceed 1,000, but not in miles. With the recent range upgrades for the Tesla Model S and Model X...

    Questions on Efficiency

    Hello friends!! About a month ago, i purchased a CPO 2015 P85D. It's been a wild ride (Pun intended) but ultimately an enjoyable one. When i accepted delivery, there were a number of things that i had found, and was scheduled to have the car repaired at my local SC. It's important to...

    Stated Battery Capacity / EPA Economy / Mileage Does Not Add Up

    Hi all, Since I got my car (Model 3 Long-Range Dual Motor (not Performance)) I've been curious about the math behind the stated range & consumption. Tesla says the (long range) battery capacity is 75 kWh. They say the range on a full charge is 310 miles. If you do that math, 75,000 / 310 = 242...

    Range Failure

    I encountered a case of range failure. Now I get the issue of range anxiety. I left the last Supercharger with my destination set and the remaining charge at my destination at 5%. As often happens that number rose as I drove until it was about 11%, so I thought I didn't need to stop at any...

    New maximum range on LR RWD 2019.5.15

    I'm wondering what sort of range you are seeing if you are now on 5.15. My 90% range is now showing 454km. Teslafi is saying my 100% charge would be 504km. anyone else who can provide your range?

    Dropping numbers on projected range

    A couple of years ago my Tesla’s computer was so corrupt it had to be replaced. I noticed at that time my energy readout became erratic. Now it’s happening again. Notice the two photos where a digit is blank. Seems this can’t be replicated at service center. I suggest you document with...

    For Electric Trucks, 500-Mile Range Seems To Be The Sweet Spot

    We like big trucks and we cannot lie. Dimensions…hmm. Probably quite a bit more than Sir Mix-A-Lot says. Ain’t no 24 here. Unless we’re talking feet of cargo-hauling capability. Those small, consumer-grade electric pickup trucks need not apply to this discussion. We’ve got nothing...

    Standard Range AWD?

    If there is a thread if this topic already in existence, please reply with a link but... So my wife and I have a reservation down and we want the SR Battery, black paint, 18 Aero Wheels and Premium Interior M3. Do most of you agree or has Elon mentioned that eventually a SR battery car could...

    Does Tesla tell buyers enough about range?

    I was listening to the podcast "Plug Your Ride" today, and heard the hosts criticize Tesla for "lying" about their car's range. It was the second week in a row they have made a similar comment. I was going to write them an email, taking exception to that language, and maybe tell them that EPA...

    Wh/mi vs. kW

    In theory kW consumption of the engine can be converted to Wh/mi by dividing by the speed in mi/hr then multiplying by 1000. Sounds great, but what if the kW number displayed on the dash is only the engine usage and doesn't include all the drain from the battery? I say this because I see...

    Range / Mileage / Efficiency Loss with Aftermarket / 3rd Party Wheels?

    Hi all, New Model 3 (AWD, ext. battery) owner here (picking up the car in two weeks). I ordered the 18" Aero wheels (didn't want to spend the $1500 for the 19" wheels... or the money on 19" tires!), but I'm going to be in the market for a second set of wheels for summer/winter tire swapping...

    Southern Ontario change of temperature vs. Range

    What sort of overnight loss of range are you seeing in your Model 3? The weather is getting cooler here in Southern Ontario and last night was around the freezing mark. Noticed that i lost about 18km of range overnight. Is this in line with what you are seeing with similar temperatures?

    New Owner: Range, Charging, Will This Scenario Work?

    Hi, ordered the car in the signature, it's being delivered in less than two weeks! I've been doing tons of research, but I wanted to run a specific scenario across this audience, but first a little background. Background: We did have a Gen2 Prius, but this is our first pure-EV. We also have a...

    Range/Battery Improvement

    I understand why Tesla does not advertise upcoming battery improvements—as it might impact current sales. But does anybody have a hunch when we might see the next incremental battery improvement, specifically for the Model X. I’m looking to buy another once the max range approaches 340 Miles...

    What’s your 90% in Rated Range on an 85KWH Model S

    My Model S 85 is now 3.5 years old and I have watched the rated range slowly fall at each charge. Some of the change is battery degradation and some is likely changes to the calculation algorithm during updates. Currently when I charge it stops at 90% with 423Km rated range. How does this...

    Let's discuss Dual Motor range

    Is Elon underselling the range on the Dual Motor 3, just as he did for the RWD variant? The RWD 3 was tested at 334 miles of range by the EPA (with the aeros). Without aeros, it was closer to the 310 miles range that Tesla asked the EPA to publish. When EPA specs leak for the AWD/non-P...

    Watts Usage Per Kilometre

    For those of you that have your Model 3, what watts usage have you been getting in your model 3? I think the target is 150 watts per km. (75,000 watts battery divided by 499 km range) = 150 watts/km range. It'd be great to get screen caps and updates as more and more individuals get their...

    S85 range

    I have a used S85 made in 2014. I usually drive with the display showing battery %age rather than range. However I have noticed that since I got the car (August 2017) to now the range displayed under “typical” when fully charged has reduced from circa 240 miles to under 230... quite a lot of...

    Model 3 Unlimited Range?

    I got my Model 3 a little over a week ago and when it would first charge to 80%, it reported a range of 248 miles... A few days later, it started consistently showing 249 miles at 80%, and today it's showing 250 miles at that same level. THE ONLY explanation is that the car will simply increase...

    Aero covers for 19” wheels?

    I ordered the 19” sport wheels with my car but I’ve been hearing that the range difference can be as much as 10%!? That’s 30+ miles on the long range! Extra range would be nice on road trips. Does anyone know if they make aero covers that will fit the 19” wheel that help with range? PS before...

    Model number vs Actual consumption

    A few weekends ago, I attended a party and I was explaining the feature of the car the capacity of the batteries and stuff. Then two days later, as I was driving in the "spring" like weather and I was enjoying the consumption being around 190-180, it made me wonder about the recent twitter...

    Question for non-Nav folks re Supercharger range

    For the folks who don't have turn by turn navigation in their Model S can you: 1. Select a destination and at least get information about which superchargers are on the way and how much charge you'll have when you arrive? Or. 2. Directly input a supercharger that you know is on your route and...

    Michelin Summer tires or All Seasons (aero wheels) effect on Range

    Just got my Model 3 and I feel the tires get squirrley when rapidly accelerating or when taking curves. I love the range of Michelin MXM4 but its traction is meh. I am considering changing my tires to Michelin Super Sport 4S or the Pilot sport A/S 3+. How much of an effect (percentage wise) on...

    Supercharging Price?

    Self-Driving Cars Using Crazy Amounts of Power is Becoming a Problem

    All the data needs to be combined, sorted, and turned into a robot-friendly picture of the world, with instructions on how to move through it. That takes huge computing power, which means huge electricity demands. Prototypes use around 2,500 watts, enough to light 40 incandescent light bulbs...

    Power Consumption and Milage

    I've noticed that Angel (my Model X, 75D) "wakes up" as I walk around in the house near the door leading to the garage. I can tell because the DRLs are turned on and from the sound of it, it's pumping up the suspension (it parks in "high" mode). I can't help but think this wastes power. Is there...

    Is the range normal?

    I got my Model S 75 on 12/2017, built 11/2017. The range according to the docs is 249 miles, but when I charge it up to 90%, it says 218 which means that 100% is ~242 miles. Is this normal or should I tell this to Tesla? I haven't had the opportunity to charge it up to 100% yet or ever got...

    Energy impact- Heated Seets and wiper discussion

    I think all New England EV owners are aware of what cabin-heating does to range.

So I ask, Model S owners without sub zero upgrade in VT, NH...

    Range Mode

    I am planning an extended road trip in my 90D (19" tires), and was wondering what the effect of having Range Mode turned "on" would be. Everything else being equal, would it increase my driving range with it "on" rather than "off"? If so, would it be 2%, 3%, 5%? Sorry if this question has...

    Range expectations X75 vs. X100 - realistically

    My X75 is confirmed but I can still change to X100 (at least I think) and I feel like I’m making a mistake not getting the extra range but the extra $17k is a lot especially when you’re already shelling out $100k. Thoughts?
