What is battery drain? Heating water takes a lot of energy

not likely since the drive is not activated during charging .

Wonder if the PCS problem is from PM motors or from not using SiC drivers?

Handyman type of home compressor with tank may be your best bet if the tank does not bleed down within the time you need to inflate your tires. There is 120VAC on CT to recharge the tank. Having a tank that starts at over 100psi will speed your inflation rate.

Teslas can easily go to 200k miles with minimum issues. Had a model S that went 140k with minimum issues and was still going strong. Want a newer Tesla with larger battery and most importantly, faster charging speed.

Not obvious that the battery is burned. Won’t battery fire be more intense?
