Quite right Rob. I have deleted my post to reduce confusion and the general level of bollocksNope, just a resistance heater
And now my VIN has gone... Well, it was a happy hour or so at least!
As they say, it is better to have had a VIN and lost a VIN, than to never have had one at all....And now my VIN has gone... Well, it was a happy hour or so at least!
@Vedaprime So for those of us with 517xx VINS, I take it that is pretty late and we can expect Very late sept- October deliveries or am I wrong?
My wife's X, which was ordered in May, is due in October, which our Delivery Specialist confirmed today. Seems likely some 3's would push out to then as well.
Lets hope you are all VINdicated soon and not become VINdictive
I have a hidden VIN of 4627, seen any others like this?
Just got my VIN
5YJ3F7EA3KF4627XX
I think this means I'm on the Brotonne Bridge.
SR+ PW first day reserve, first day order
AUNZVInTrackingcan someone re-link vedas VIN/BOAT thing again please. I have searched for a while and can't find it.
Yep, that’s what I’ve read too in Electrek. The factory in Shanghai will be supplying the Chinese market only. That might change in the fullness of time, but it’s not the intent or plan at the moment for it to supply other markets.
Holy bollocksing vins, Batman - I've got one in the source code now too!
4430 series (whichever ship that happens to be on - hopefully the next one if it's not already in the country!).
(Nov 2018 reservation, Jun 2019 order, SR+ (blue), Hobart area)
And in other news a frunk mat and an centre console storage unit arrived in the post today!
From what I remember, they mentioned China and greater China region. That differs from the point of view. For US it is only China, for China it is the whole world, for the rest of us somewhere in between.Initially yes, but elon also stated at one point that it could serve asia more widely.
WOOOHOOO. P3D+ with white interior. Have a VIN now 5YJ3F7EB7KF517XXX
I guess “effectiveness” what I meant, even if that’s not what I wrote. In practice, residential / vehicle heat pumps stop working when the exterior ambient temperature is below -5°C to -10°C or so, because of the “working fluid” they use and they have a size/complexity/price point to hit.Hmm, I disagree. A purely resistive heater will have an efficiency of about 1 all the time; a heat pump may have a coefficient of performance of say 5 in moderate temperature gradients, reducing as the temperature delta rises. However, the COP can't ever get lower than 1 in theory, because any energy used by the compressor will still eventually be delivered as heat... A heat pump may become less effective, though, outside of its design temperature range; depending on the working fluid, complications like ice formation (i.e. insulation) on the heat source, and so forth. It may be that the output (and input) goes to near zero when the working fluid no longer evaporates or whatever, but that's not the same as efficiency.
And its not just a comfort thing - statutory requirement to have a working demist heater. So Tesla stuck with the KISS principle. We are lucky here in Australia: we are far more likely to need the (efficient) aircon than the (inefficient) heater.I guess “effectiveness” what I meant, even if that’s not what I wrote.

My home A/C can heat only when the outdoor temperature is between -9°C and 21°C, and cool only when the outdoor temperature is between -5°C and 46°C. A few years ago when Sydney did hit 46° one January, I can confirm the A/C did cease to provide any cooling whatsoever and just blew out air.
