... And now I'm back. IMPRESSED with the Model S! That's all I can say after seeing it live, touching it, feeling it, sitting in it
One piece of info that was a big surprise to me: At the showing, one of the reps seemed really knowledgable, and he was asked by another customer wheter the car will support Chademo charging. He replied yes. So I had to ask him specifically about this in depth and he held to his claim that he knew that the European version of Model S will support Chademo. He thought that this would be via an adapter/cable, but he would also not rule out this possibility of a second charge port (seems extremely unlikely to me).
It is possible to deduct how many amps you can draw, but it isn't perfect.I might be the one who got the answer you overheard. I was not too convinced. The guy (an English salesman type) did not seem to be technically competent - more a salesman kind of guy who would tell you anything to keep you smiling.
I think second charge port will not happen. It will have to be about delivering power through the one charge port. I understand that it will accept anything from 100 to 400 volts and that it has some form of advanced circuits that will analyze the incoming current to deduct how many Amperes the car can allow itself to draw. This was also of the salesmans information - when I confronted electro engineers with this they shook their heads and said that this seems like bullshit - that there is no way to know how many amps you can draw without actually checking the fuse and then entering that value in the car - or by using some kind of plug that would use some extra pins to communicate fact about the power source.
That does sound like BS.Another piece of fake info from the same salesman - that the Model S would have a spare wheel - fastened under the rear of the car.
With regards to Chademo adapter I think this must be a possibility
