There are lots of reasons. But most importantly is that energy consumption per mile is much higher when cruising at 130 mph. After all, the top speed of model S is 162 mph.

Like Elon said, Roadster is using SpaceX's cold gas thrusters. These are powerful enough to maneuver 30-ton rocket with ease. BFR will also use these thrusters for maneuvering. Therefore they are providing Sirius impulse for lightweight Roadster! It is Sirius impulse! SpaceX does not hold any...

i would appreciate if you would like to concentrate on topic. Discuss possible forum bugs with site administration in dedicated forum threads.

Due to high taxes on Diesel, Tesla Semi will be even more profitable in Europe. Diesel truck consumes about 30 liters of diesel per 100 km and Diesel costs about one euro per liter due to taxes. Therefore fuel savings for the million miles are about 500 000 euros. This is why Daimler is in...

Yes that is correct. Vehicle-to-Grid is just silly. However my model is opposite to V2G and it basically optimizes the longevity of battery compared to 90 % standard charging. It is better to keep daily charge level around 60 % rather than around 90 %. Today this kind of charging pattern is of...

EV battery power is more expensive than grid power. EV battery power costs something like 30–60 cents per kWh. Using EV battery for providing grid supplement power reduces the range of EV, this is especially relevant with LEAF battery that starts significantly degrade after 100 000 km driving...

No it is not V2G (Vehicle To Grid). Power is not fed back to the grid. The idea behind V2G is somewhat silly. It degrades unnecessarily the battery and required infrastructure is expensive compared to benefit. It is always cheaper to have specialized grid storage batteries than to use EV...

Hello, I have a suggestion for a new Model S feature that can help with the renewable energy storage problem and improve the green imago of long range electric vehicles. This would be especially practical in Spain, Denmark, Germany and Sweden, where the share of wind and solar power production...
