I just have to assume this is because or dry cell improvements. I don't see where else the cost reduction came from. So wen username?

Speaking of trolls, it's a tag team in here... 75mph highway, customarily people do 85. We are experienced with driving in the winter, we know when there is black ice and when there is not. The roads are well salted. Again, I'd like to apologize for not living in SoCal. The weather is my choice.

Sorry for living.

1. I said heat

Sounds like what "range mode" used to do. But frankly, if this text is true it stinks, tying chill mode to efficiency. In older Tesla's consumption from accelerating hard was nothing compared to aero/tire drag or sitting in traffic with heat on. No need to deprive yourself of the acceleration.

"When DBE is applied in fabricating SSEs, the developed ionic transport contributes to the accelerated kinetics and to improved performances. 30%–50% of cathodic capacity can be increased, especially in thick electrodes with high areal mass loading and high active materials contents"...

Dry process in itself theoretically improves the cathode, a lot of what's going on during degradation is due to the microscopic structure of the electrolyte, not just its chemical constituents.

If it was dry cathode I would have expected the capacity and charge rate to increase. A better explanation is it's wet cathode from lower quality domestic sources.

As I said, I've done this kind of trip many many times. Adding another hour to 5-6 hours of driving and 6 hours of skiing is not what I want to do. Also, the practical matter of trying to arrive at the supercharger with a low enough SoC and a warm enough battery is challenging, especially given...

I'd like to do 300 miles in 15F weather at 80-85mph. This roundtrip from Boston to Wildcat/Attitash mountain. I'm going to call this the "troll's journey" given my first reply.

yes

Has anyone figured out why the non-foundation is sold with less range? Was there a physical change or is this just a 2025 rating thing? I noticed many other models are getting reduced EPA ranges listed as well, like S plaid. Given that cybertruck still isn't on fueleconomy.gov, I see than S...

Even the hummer towing test - just moving the hummer slightly on the trailer will change the drag coefficient. Unless somebody pulls the exact same trailer we're not getting accurate comparisons. Even then, there's an issue of the interaction of the wake of a particular truck with it's trailer.

Because the production rate is not high enough yet. Will be quite a while before the 100k/120k price points are saturated. Remember how many S/X they were selling at this price point.

The truck clearly needs 500+ EPA miles, perhaps 750 EPA with a range extender. That means an honest 300 miles for skiing/hiking trips in the winter (includes one short supercharging stop so you don't end up arriving with 0% when it's 15F outside), and 200-400 miles while towing. When plaid+ was...

Certainly more than that initially, up to 8-12 kW depending on model, especially if the battery heater turns on, which could be for a large portion of a "city" trip. Then you park, car cools, down, repeat. Opposite effect at high temps, and at very high temps active pack cooling will kick in...

If you have temperate conditions and leave the HVAC off, then "city" can be better than highway. What's actually better than highway is rural/extra-urban areas where you just cruise at 35-45 mph for long distances, as in the limit consumption is just a result of drag. What actually happens in...

Saw this review getting called out on X, I find the numbers highly suspicious, giving it 1/10 shot of being real. 123 kWh/320 miles = 384 Wh/mi rated range 123 kWh/340 mies = 362 Wh/mi rated range 10k miles in this short of a time means lots of long distance highway drives, which often tends...
