Well this is the end of this thread, in the end Tesla went with 1366 Cells for a total pack energy of 123,000 Wh. This results in almost exactly 90 Wh per cell. Working backwards w/ the 10% density improvements this put the Gen1 Model Y 4680 cell I would have expected a minimum of 95 Wh per cell...
Am I the only one who thinks that space can fit a spare tire? I don't know about a 35" mudder but definitely a street tire. It could also be the sub-vault trunk basin, I think less likely because they said you could access the inverter/motor from the sub-vault trunk and that would position it...
I'm not looking for confirmation bias at all, it is not an exoskeleton. During the 2019 reveal event they said it would be an exoskeleton where the stainless steel body would actually be structural. I do not believe the stainless steel panels on the current unibody implementation are structural...
Is it a typo... or on purpose? Because we all know they scrapped the strict "Exoskeleton" route, we all know it is stainless steel panels on uni body frame.
The tiny details might matter here.
Displayed SOC on the screen for 71% on the BMS could be anywhere from 70.5%-71.4% a 0.9% margin of error. That also means that arrival SOC has same margin of 64.5%-65.4%.
If you take the absolute worst case scenario that is leaving at 71.4% and arriving at...
You're right sorry I was thinking of the grassy venue where they brought out the original prototype from the peterson, I just looked up the electrified cars + coffee.
Just making the point that the evidence is pointing to the original post not actually showing a bent control arm due to off-road use. This is a newer rc unit — I am not saying the upper control arm isn’t light duty just that the original premise was probably wrong!
Latest image of the new matte black RC upper control arm, same “bent” look. It may be a lighter duty control arm but this whole discussion is probably a nothing burger.
