It's also common that you post lots of copy pasted stuff without much of any comment or discussion from yourself. The point of the forum is to share and discuss, not just get hit with reposts from other sites, you could start a blog if you like to do that. All very negative nelly to be frank...

No worries. With Megapack, they are currently $1.8m, have 1.9MW output, so 7.7 250kW v 3 stalls at once, and then the 3.7MWh of battery storage can recharge 38 Model Ys with 75kWh each, or 29 CTs. The return on that at $0.45kWh is $675hr so it would take 3000hours at full capacity to pay back...

Why post a link to a story from nearly twenty years ago in 2006? The question is not to fill holes, it's where do most customers live and use the vehicle. I live in Australia and my nearest SC is 300miles away, going from WA to over east, along our countries main interstate, there is a 1600mile...

Yep pretty much the opposite of what works when one is stuck, is what is required on a high traction surface. ;) Technically even permanent 4WD vehicles are really just 1WD onroad.

Mr ctr-V strikes again!!

The reason for a differential is so that the wheels on the inside of a corner can turn slower whilst the wheels on the outside can turn faster. If you lock both the inside and outside wheels together it can’t do this, and all the force from the difference in wheel velocity between the sides...

It does work. The problem apparently is to get it to stop working. ;)

Exactly. Bloatware, just like Windows, or a Chinese cheapo phone that is subsidised by pre-installed apps. More is not better. Best part is no human...sometimes! :p

Maybe magneticly actuated, but still mechanically locked from what I understand.

So you managed to get them to unlock, but are still getting it towed?

I get how it was. That is however not how it is anymore. There are quite a few chargers, and there doesn't need to be as many as gas stations, if everyone is doing most of their charging at home. Like you do too. The point is simply when is the break even point reached, when is there enough...

Ironicly, you're nearly right with all of them. I'm just glad you remembered all the ones I told you! :ROFLMAO:

Well Tesla has 140,000 employees and the charging dept. is 500...thats 0.4% Whoopdeedo. I don't think it's meaningful, technically they'd have that amount of personnel turnover every month, if not every few weeks.

There is no reason to have chargers at every intersection etc etc. It's not only wasteful, but actually makes it more likely that the charger location goes bust because they can't make ends meet for capex alone. You don't understand how much chargers cost, (more than a M3 each port) and how...

You obviously don't understand the reality of the actual "importance" of the charging department. You are making the charging department more important than it actually is. You don't even know what parts of the department were fired...but you sure have a HUGE opinion on who is to blame even...

You are proving his point, in that you are unqualified to make a call to sack a CEO at all, let alone purely on emotional grounds.

Exactly, a bad employee has poor individual performance which a detriment to those that have good performance. It's quite literally weeding out the bad eggs. Plus, the department proably wasn't profitable either, as discussed previously, and so that was the least amount of employees that...

Try to drive backwards and forwards in a straight line without steering, and cycle the button on each direction change. Turning can keep it engaged. Also never use it on sealed dry road surfaces as this can cause permanent damage to the drivetrain, axles and tyres etc.

Is that for everything, including the network connection and transformers? Or is that just for the Tesla side charge stations etc? Because MW scale network connections and transformers are not that cheap.

I don't have a problem with the illogical fear of range anxiety, and I live in Australia where there are a lot less SC. Sure having the "best" charger network is a selling point, but how long would it take for Tesla to lose that title? When are there "enough" chargers? But there are a few...
