I’m with you. I don’t care about tank turns and other off road gimmicks. Give me range…and if that makes it quicker and haul heavier loads, I’ll deal.
I recall one of the early crashes on autopilot involved a driver watching a movie on his IPad. And he was watching a Harry Potter movie, just to make him look that much dumber.
St Peter: how did you die?
driver: watchin a movie while driving
St. Peter: what movie?
driver: (hangs head)…
I’m hoping that Tesla takes a similar approach as the past with reservations, in that they will prioritize region and current Tesla owners along with trim level. Of course I’m being selfish, but I live in SoCal and am a current owner with a tri motor on order, so I hope I can jump up in line...
Don’t forget the Plaid+ will have high end brakes, suspension, forged aluminum wheels, expensive tires, not to mention the wide body to fit the larger wheels/tires, perhaps a larger spoiler to name a few things.
And just to clarify the last couple of posts, the rated range is battery at 100% under ideal conditions. As mentioned unless you are going on a perfectly flat road in 73 degree windless conditions you won’t get the rated range. You shouldn’t expect it nor rely on it. Every little thing makes...
I think Crissa’s point is that wh/mile is the most important number for determining how much electricity you will be using. It seems likely the battery pack on the tri motor would be around 200kwh. If Tesla can improve the wh/mile then a smaller pack would suffice. I generally get around 450...
I’ve had a good experience so far. Service has been good although much better in the beginning when they used to fix rattles and any little thing. The biggest problem has been charging speeds. I only hit 30 kw charge speed the last time I supercharged (v3 supercharger). Less desirable to...
Mine has about 65k miles on it. It’s rare that I charge to 100%, but 90% is about 221 miles. I figure I would get about 245 at 100%, thus there has been about 20 miles of range degradation or about 8%. I figure that is within the standard degradation. Keep in mind though that the 221 figure...
Sorry huge mistake! My car won’t charge past 50 kW, even at a v3 supercharger. It’s a 2013 P85+, and Tesla has indicated it is to preserve the battery pack and is normal.
