A lot of question about Model X???

[bonnie1194]

rs4, you started a thread with questions about the X earlier this year A lot of question about Model X???.

I'll ask a mod for this forum to move these posts over to the thread you've already posted.

There are a number of threads abut wishlists and battery life after time. Might be better to include these questions in those threads.

Yes, I could try to do that. But could not find any, in my little world(I was in hurry, but I will try better to day and try to fix this). But I was thinking about both car`s, and are there any tread about this?

Yes that was right, I did. But I was thinking about both car`s, and are there any tread about this? But I can do it my self

All of this is speculative right now. Tesla has only shown the prototype. You can infer a lot of the answers by looking at the Model S, but again, none of the information you're asking for has been announced.

I know you want more info on Model X, but it is still speculative. There are no answers to give you yet.

If the Roadster was known as Darkstar and Model S as Whitestar, what is Model X?

Blackstar.

Tesla's sedan went through several iterations with some significant changes. So my understanding is at some point the code name changed from Whitestar to Model S since it was essentially a different car. Model S sounds like a simple project name, doesn't it? S stands for sedan. As explained to me by Franz, when it became time to come up with an actual name, they kinda felt like Model S had stuck and they had grown to like it, so they went with that.

My guess is Model X has always been Model X, without a separate code/project name.

Blackstar.

Great Radiohead song too.

I have a question regarding the regenerative braking... Will it also have a 'coasting' feature so that the car doesn't slow down when you remove your foot from the accelerator? Seems like there would be many times when you are going downhill that you wouldn't want to keep your foot on the accelerator but you also wouldn't want the car to start to slow down. Maybe I'm not understanding the regerative braking correctly??

[bonnie1194]

Saxena, you are probably best served to explore the Model S threads right now. There is no information on the Model X because, well, they only built the one prototype. But it would be safe to assume that much will be similar to the Model S.

The Model S has adjustable regenerative braking.

Saxena,

Tesla Roadster and Model S both implement no coasting. The regenerative braking is always there, with the exclusion if the battery is too full or too cold to accept the generated charge.

The new thing with driving electric is that you can use cruise control to set a constant speed going downhill. In contrast to most ICE cruise control systems, managing the accelerator pedal allows to decelerate a Tesla, too. If that solves your desire, no coasting is needed.
