Thanks! Any timeframe on the release date for your new product? Also kinda funny that the Mars setup in your pix here has a Chinese knock-off of the aero blade tent they make? https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/EZNEST-9cm-Roof-Tent-Anti-condensation_1601296346730.html
Distinguished CT owners who overland/camp with their CTs,
I'm trying to decide on whether to buy the fully-enclosed Urander rack or the full-size Mars rack or wait for the upcoming Urander full-length camper set up. I would mount a rooftop tent on each (Aeroblade on the Mars, undecided on tent...
Thanks! Yes, I've updated the model since I made that post. I'm interested in your data above. What App is that? Would you say your drive above was most on level ground? Do you know what the outside air temp was (about)?
It certainly turned into an academic exercise...EXCEPT for towing and places where the distance between chargers is long....then it still has value. I'm working on a towing analysis right now. Initial results towing with a CT is best speed to go somewhere and get there as soon as possible is...
Your firm stance on "peddle to the metal" and your earlier post referencing the cannonball run got me thinking. So, here's what I found:
Porsche record Cannonball did not run wide open...
I've refined the model a lot with help from many of you and a lot of research. My original stab was off by a fair amount owing to a bad watt-hr/mile estimate.
Here's my punchline for those who want to skip the details:
I contend there is a speed for Teslas (and all EVs) at which going...
The stop "admin" time matters on long cross countries where the total number of stops is different when comparing different speed strategies. For instance, on a 1000 mile trip driving 60 mph (315 Wh/mi), you can "get away" with stopping 4 times. But at 90 mph (634 Wh/mi) you'll end up stopping...
29.5 minutes is how long a 250 kW charger takes to go from 20% to 80%. Your stops are shorter since you plan around being sub 20% on arrival and charging to ~60%. 5 minutes to exit highway, park in spot, plug in, unplug, drive back to highway, and get up to speed. Seems not enough to be...
Cool! Thanks for vectoring me to ABRP, didn't know that existed. Just poking around it now, it has a "Reference consumption @ 65 mph" input for Wh/mi. What setting did you use for that?
If these charts are correct, then, yes....there comes a speed at which going faster will take longer to go somewhere....same thing happens in my airplane. Sometimes I slow down to extend range to avoid a fuel stop (which takes a hour).
