    What will be the new HP numbers for AWD and P after 12.4?

    Then you have invented new physics and should rewrite every book that I have read. I develop high-performance PM motors at work so I know some of this stuff... a graph from Mclaren. The point where torque starts to drop and peak power is reached is called base speed. Also: Tesla Model 3 SR+...

    What will be the new HP numbers for AWD and P after 12.4?

    Sorry but this is wrong. I think you mean torque and not power. Peak power will be achieved at a certain speed, maybe at 45mph like you said. Before that power is increasing in a linear way since Power = Torque x Rpm. With permanent synchron motors you have first a constant torque region until...

    Elon Tweeting about Thailand and Reputation

    Completly agree. It's crazy how the media here in Europe or Switzerland is against Tesla in the last months. They shared every story which is negative in the two biggest daily newspaper here. They even turned good news in to neutral or bad ones. A lot of people ask me why i would buy such a car...

    Letter To Elon Musk Regarding P85D Horsepower – Discussion Thread

    The car could have 900 Hp and wouldn't be much faster than a RS7 from lets say 90-120mph. Its the lack of a second gear not the power that limits performance at higher speeds! Lock at a power curve from an AC motor (link below) and you will see that a a certain rpm level the torque drops when...

    What Charging Methods Minimize Degradation?

    yes down to 50% less is better. thats why the charge slider only goes down to 50%. for storage as example plug your car in and set the slider to 50%. a simple rule is just charge as much as needed. you can see it in the graph from an german engineering magazine the last 10% are the worst...

    Tesla Motors current and future battery degradation warranty...

    Where are these 2000+ cycles always coming from??2000 cycles to 80%? with which DOD? i thought only lifepo4 can do this? do you have a source for that? every spreadsheet for the panasonic nca cells shows after 400-500cycles a remainig capacity of about 80%. Ok after that up to 2000 cycles it...

    Tesla Motors current and future battery degradation warranty...

    nope. i just give you some points why its hard for tesla to give such a battery warranty. I would be much easier for the customer when there is only one charge setting (90%) and a lower top speed but a warranty that covers battery degradation. Tesla just cant go back and change all this thats...

    Tesla Motors current and future battery degradation warranty...

    ok one more time. tesla cant give a warranty like Nissan, or BMW does with the current setting of the model s. This manufacturers can only give such warranties because their vehicles have all the same initial position in every country and for every customer. for example: 1. You cant choose...

    Firmware 6.0

    So no full translated user interface even after 1year? Sorry tesla but this is a shame. not everybody here in Europe speaks english well enough.... especially older people with lot of money... and even in a 15k ecobox from gm the interface is fully translated

    Kevin Sharpe's decreased Roadster range

    Ok for everyone. This is not possible because of different and simple reasons. If Tesla wants to do degradation limit they have to do following things: 1. Lower the topspeed to lets say 85-90mph. A german Model S that always gets driven at topspeed puts at minimum double the cycles an stress...

    Pics/Info: Inside the battery pack

    The NCR1850B can deliver 2C. I found not mutch for the NCR18650BE but it looks like its also rated for 2C or less. The 18650PD can deliver 10A which is more then 3C. And the 18650G is not yet on the market maybe for OEMs. http://www.dampfakkus.de/akku_liste-nach-marke.php?marke=Panasonic

    How bad is it for the car to be pushed hard often?

    even with water cooling the battery will get more stressed! so your battery degration will be faster then a normal driving person. you also put more charging cycles one your battery with a higher energy consumption!

    How is Tesla charging the Panasonic 18650PF at over a 1C rate?

    No.. we only get about 108kW in Europe right now....

    Model S Technical / Mechanical Issues

    the EU cars calculate the range diffeent. EU ideal miles are more like US rated miles! supergizmo you see just a wrong calculation from the bad tesla range guessing algoritems and not a real degration. don't panic

    Bjørn's Tesla Model S videos

    As you can see the car uses only 75.9kWh for the 100% charge. To get the typical range with our model s here in Switzerland, we need an energy consumption around 205Wh/km – but you are right, the numbers don't work... ,we don't know on which capacity this numbers are calculated but the typical...

    Bjørn's Tesla Model S videos

    @jthompson: no, 26amps is the max at the moment in europe! tesla limited the current because of a hardware problem with the chargers. a fix is coming in 6-8 weeks @atc@lwsk: the European cars calculate the range different than the US cars. Typical Range is based around 205wh/km which is much...

    Charging in Davos

    I think you have to charge in Chur or St.Moritz. check this chargemap it is up to date: http://www.goingelectric.de/stromtankstellen/?suche=chur Lemnet is an other good source for Switzerland and Germany: http://lemnet.org/de/

    Design Studio Updates!

    hm not here in switzerland! no new wheel options, sound studio package is called the same way and lightning package is just around 450 dollars? carbon fiber is also included in the performance model and you cant choose performance seats in a standard model.

    EU finalize and deliveries

    They are there since 2 weeks i think... the red is a mutli-coat red Performance plus and the other one was a Brown Performance with silver wheels... both of them are US spec cars with no Eu options

    Eigentlich schon jedoch gibt es von crohm eine Mobile Ladebox an der du dein Tesla an jeder CEE 32 Ampere Dose laden kannst. Der von Tesla mitgelieferte Mobile Conector unterstützt nur 16A Hier ein Test: http://www.danzei.de/archives/2947 lg

    Get Amped - Zurich (CH) - 01-03 Feb 2013

    Yes, the seats are defenetly made for the American market, not for the European! That's the one of the few things my father didn't like as well. I also agree about the door seals and the alignments on the inside. The headrests: I read in a German forum that they won't be fixed for the European...

    Get Amped - Zurich (CH) - 01-03 Feb 2013

    Yes, we were there last Saturday (me, mom and dad). It was well organized, there was a lounge with snacks, drinks and the red signature model S as a static display. The Tesla people were nice and friendly. One grey, one black and two white model s were there for test-driving, all of them...
