    Did Tesla really lay off their entire Supercharger staff

    When companies get rid of whole departments, divisions or layers of management…it’s either to look more appealing to Wall Street, boost the boss’s performance dividend or more likely to fend off an existential crisis. Elon has been through this situation before with Tesla…maybe he can accurately...

    Did Tesla really lay off their entire Supercharger staff

    Agreed.....this is not the first (nor the last) company to lay off an entire department

    Did Tesla really lay off their entire Supercharger staff

    Perhaps that is the master plan, spread the knowledge and the philosophy.....all those incompetent, overpriced, confusing to use, subscription ripoff networks can be redesigned by a flood of ex Tesla employees hitting the market

    Did Tesla really lay off their entire Supercharger staff

    I think that you could have a point, and Tesla has the data, if the Department of SC Expansion (you made that up) were justifying their existence by opening new SC where there was no demand...then Elon is right to rationalize them

    Did Tesla really lay off their entire Supercharger staff

    Is it possible that with Tesla’s transition to AI and it’s ever increasing super computing power, that the supercharger software team were no longer needed ?

    Did Tesla design cars to be able to take a range extender just incase?

    If Tesla are the masters of packaging, and they have the space....I would prefer to see a spare wheel

    Some new data from research on Tesla model 3 cells

    On my road trip yesterday, I stopped three times for coffee and bladder...but didn’t recharge once

    Maybe Elon is just transferring responsibility and cost to those auto makers who want to join

    Some new data from research on Tesla model 3 cells

    I just want to look at this one quote from your post.... The industry standard for considering a battery cell reaching end of life is 20% degradation. When that level is reached the behaviour becames unpredictable, so its better to try to keep the battery above that line. What is your opinion...

    Did Tesla really lay off their entire Supercharger staff

    The rumor before this rumor was that the Model 2 was being scrapped....that turned out not necessarily true. So I would wait for more information

    MASTER THREAD: 2021 Model 3 - Charge data, battery discussion etc

    The 580 km was definitely WLTP ....my calculations are based on EPA.... I think you can argue it either way, I bought the car with 542 EPA (580 WLTP)....I wonder what the WLTP would be on 551 km ? Possibly 590 ?

    MASTER THREAD: 2021 Model 3 - Charge data, battery discussion etc

    Yes...a tricky one. When I got the car new it would charge to 542 km.....a few months later it slowly got more, 551 km was the highest I remember. So I take the 542..... Of course, it might not have been the pack that grew....the EPA could have reduced...it’s 141 wh per kilometer now...but...

    500 + Mile Range Debate

    My 2021 MiC M3LR with LG74.5 charged today to 100% 525 km (328 miles) 3% degradation. And these are real world kilometers....my road trip today was mostly freeways upto 130 kph (over 80 mph) and I was doing a lot less than EPA....so I definitely could have done over 500 km (313 miles)

    Range Loss Over Time, What Can Be Expected, Efficiency, How to Maintain Battery Health

    I am on a road trip right now….my 2021 M3LR LG74.5 MiC charged this morning to 100% and 525 km (328 miles) … not bad👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

    Israel/Hamas conflict

    To be honest I think the opposite....the internet is probably the only thing that keeps the last few honest journalists honest. The world’s journalists have been anti-West anti-Israel since the sixties....those kids on the lawn (and their predecessors) dream of being journalists...although most...

    Range Loss Over Time, What Can Be Expected, Efficiency, How to Maintain Battery Health

    The problem I had with Dr Jeff is that he gave information about which cells perform better or worse...but was very vague on how to find out which cells are in your car....I realize this information is not given freely by Tesla....but do you have a source which can tell which battery has NMC532...

    If it is a Patriot system....is it possible that there would be foreign technical advisers with it ?

    The view from Germany looks a bit disturbing...it’s almost like they don’t like Jews....but that can’t be right... although they are the experts at rewriting history

    500 + Mile Range Debate

    But we know that Tesla is the most efficient by a country mile... and we know that battery breakthroughs are incremental and take years to filter down to a car chassis....the only alternative is bigger batteries. More money for a heavier car with less internal room....or use the best charging...

    Not good enough.....if these are just mindless anti-Semitic thugs (guys and gals) on the streets, fair enough....the leaders do their thinking for them. But college students should be able to articulate their goals, beliefs and methods....which makes the college administrators accusation that...

    500 + Mile Range Debate

    500 miles is just a number put by people who don’t want to go electric….if the number is achieved…they have plenty more numbers….$20,000…or….zero degradation….500 with a trailer…750… Just seen a video of a Porsche Macan…300 miles range…with a 125 kWh battery!!!!…put that in my Model 3 and it...

    What battery cells are in the 2023 M3 LR?

    It’s not quite so bad....for example you will pay the same amount of dollars as a US driver for FSD subscription...despite the currency not being equal....so, swings and roundabouts

    What battery cells are in the 2023 M3 LR?

    I thought that the LG was better in the cold....which should suit Canadian buyers

    Are you satisfied with the range you get?

    I think we have to accept that until there is a technological breakthrough in battery capacity....our only choice is to go with the competition’s bigger heavier more lumbering cars containing mega batteries.

    Are you satisfied with the range you get?

    My M3LR gets the EPA range without problem.....is it enough is another question....the answer is so far yes...the car gets me where I need to go no matter how far. Obviously there is a little planning and thought...the longer the range the less I’d have to think about it. If charging to 100%...

    Wh/km (or mi) / range grossly mis-advertised, if not fraudulent... srsly.

    The video certainly matches my experience....2021 M3LR MiC....LG75....low mileage...I get exactly EPA on my total use over three years...and that is with a LOT of air con (I live on the Mediterranean coast).

    Unless it’s not over...I’m not sure what Iran’s ‘strong message’ has achieved....except for their terrorist proxies to wonder if their chief backer is a paper tiger. If a mass attack with their best weapons from the mother country couldn’t achieve anything except to solidify the west behind...
