New Sports 2.0 owner Sweden, CAC 155,5!

[LeoNordic]

Have been driving BEV since 2013. Had both Model S and X. My daily driver is a Kia e-Niro. But now I have recently become the proud owner of a 2010 Sports 2.0.

Thanks for all the good advice and info thats beeing hidden in the 3300 threads on this forum. Have already glanced through 1/2 of them... A treasure when lookig for information.

Bought it from 1st owner i Sweden. Has only been driven 7000miles. (=11300km). EU Signature 120/250, Fusion red, CF inside, outside and HT. All paperworks since new. Got one HPC 32A charger (newer used) and three 240V std chargers (one broken) New brakes all around and a new PEM two years ago. (Broke down when charging at service at Tesla! So they replaced it free of charge)

Got some help acessing the original battery health. (Thanks Peter G!) It shows amazing 155.5 as CAC! And no big worries in the log-files. 97% indicated capacity after 9 years seems outstanding. Shows 304km ”ideal-range” in Standard mode charge. And it seems pretty reasonable.

The owner has always had it connected to 240V/10A and mostly in Standard mode. Some times in winter in Storage mode. And only ONCE charged to Range mode. And yes the summers in Sweden are not particularly hot...

Wow, it’s fun! like driving a Go-cart. Steering response is fantastic an the comfort in suspension and seats are way better than I would have guessed before driving it.

Now only has to find a ”dignified way” to get DOWN in the car. Has tried different ways and seen instructionfilms. And soon I’ll find a way thats keeps my smile on even entering and getting out of the car. (6.1feet and long legs)

When you find a way, post a video. Personally I like to entertain the crowd by struggling and falling out.
Great looking car, I'm sure you're going to have a lot of fun in it.

For me it's right foot in, butt down into seat, then pull my left leg in with my arms to avoid hitting the dashboard.

I'm 6' tall and 215 lbs. Congratulations on joining the family!!!

Beautiful car! Nice color combination! (Red with carbon and black rims)

Thanks everyone! Yes I have looked at thoose films. I looks so easy! But I have not yet learned how to do it as graceful as them.

And my left foot very easy touches the door/sill. So a bit afraid of scuffmarks on those parts.

But on the other hand. The audience is obviously looking at the car and not me. So actually not a problem

Clear wrap those precious carbon sill covers.

Smart!

Another trick--leave the roof OFF! Makes it a whole lot easier.
