After today, I am almost over Telsa SERVICE. It really does not work AT ALL like a reasonable set of expectations.
I ordered Winter Tires and Rims because I could not think of any other way to use my $2.500. After my order a month ago, I got a Service Message that made my appt for today to...
So have you tried with towing? I have towed and camper and a box car trailer over 7,000 miles and FSD was disabled because of the trailer automatically.
BUT, yesterday we towed a 1/2 ton utility trailer without any trailer brakes. (both the other trailers have electric brakes) and FSD was full...
Technology moves forward when a LOT of things happen and usually NOT at once. Like the hydrogen guys that put hydrogen on plastic tape ... a little bigger than a VHS tape (remember those) and it would propel the car 300 miles per cassette. So 1,000 miles would fit in your glove compartment...
So, if you have a 7kw generator, which is more than I can lift up into the bed, that give you about what a wall charger give you, right?
If it is an inverter, then the power should be clean enough but does it have to go through a mobile charger?
Is there such a thing as a DC charger...
Well, having put some more miles on my FSD CT, I am convinced of the following.
Reading the signs and pulling from a speed limit database is a tug of war. On almost every drive, it gets the speed limit wrong on certain roads.
If I let it totally choose the speed, it is all over the place ...
Great job on this!
My rig is below. Just finished a 5,000 mile trip to Tetons and back to Virginia. Our key thing was camping each night we got free charges every night and charged once or twice each day on the road at Super Chargers. For the 5,000 miles we averaged 600 mkw and we spent $830...
Here's my setup. Driven 6,000 miles towing this and have averaged 600 wpm for all 6,000 miles.
22ft long. Loaded just north of 3,000 pounds. Alto has a newer model that is smaller and better aero than this one for Model Y and M3's.
Well, this is the way diesel / electric trains work!
Right? Big generator, electric motors. Hmmm. No batteries though. That might be something.
A bigger engine, running a bigger generator ... and no batteries. No Transmission.
It has a place for sure!
if it were an option for Tesla, people would laugh but there would be takers that really need it! Out west is a different story for sure!!
The range is almost always the first question I get. Now I respond that the range is greater than my bladder!
I just think this is way over emphasized. Here is why.
More than 2/3's of my driving is around town. I charge and home overnight. So, as long as I can go up to about 200 miles...
I AM WITH YOU !
The range is lame argument anyway. It that was not true, there would be a huge backlog for Silverado and Hummber. Both have huge battery packs.
Hmm how much time do you actually save IF you have a 200kw battery pack?
The Siverado uses almost as much power when empty as I do...
I got it.
Please forgive me. I do not always agree with you as my 100,000 Tesla miles see some things differently. I was an early beta tester and do believe that in a couple or three MORE years, FSD will be ready for all but the most stoooopid. I am not sure that can be taken out of the...
I see those. It has come down some but not even 1% yet
Charged to 100%. 10 times
Usually 80% is max
About 5000 of the miles are Supercharger
At home I have it set on the wall charger to less than 20 amps most of the time and go as low as 6 amps whenever time allows.
Slow slow charging is the...
Not sure we have all the facts
15 hours may be too long. Assume sustained driving is where they get the 500 miles. The harvester is adding 150 miles and if we assume 400 wpm then that is the Harvester adding 60 kw.
So a 10 kw generator is about 1 gallon per hour. 6 gallons could do it
we...
Just seems like math to me.
Look at the two new camper trailers that “carry their own weight”. That is they push with their own motors and batteries.
Some smart soul can figure this out and maybe Scout already has!
