2018 Tesla EPA data?

[_jmk]

Anyone know why 2018 Teslas do not show up in fueleconomy.gov car listings? You would think that for example the new drive unit changed the efficiency, so doubt numbers are exactly the same as in 2017. EPA filings might also reveal changes in the battery config, if any.

Interesting, Google reveals earlier readings:

Model 3 LR
https://www3.epa.gov/otaq/datafiles/CSI-HTSLV00.0L13.PDF

According to that the battery is 230Ah @ 350V, aka 80.5kWh

Model X75
https://www3.epa.gov/otaq/datafiles/CSI-HTSLV00.0L2XV3.PDF

250Ah @ 350V, aka 87.5kWh (????????)

If the above is accurate the 75 battery in the X should last a lifetime. Buffer is quite considerable.

2018’s don’t exist yet...technically

Reading the 2017 stats might explain what happened during the summer with the btx8 battery. That was just a bit different battery config being produced temporarily for one reason or the other but the actual size was the same.
