    Battery Cooling

    I wonder what the max battery temp is before the car goes to limp mode? 150 degrees? I wouldn't think it would be a complex problem to solve, but obviously isn't an obvious fix, or they would have obviously fixed by now.

    Battery Cooling

    Why is an ICE radiator able to keep 1,200 exhaust temps in check, but the cooling system on a Tesla is unable to keep a 150 degree battery temp under control for one lap on the track? Batteries get maybe 1/8 as hot as a gasoline engine, what technical barriers are there to keeping battery...

    'but the bet was "fastest"' The Tesla is fastest to 60. Biden never said max top speed.

    car and driver P90D 11.1 @ 121 MPH

    Turn off traction control, add drag radials, possibly that will take a tenth or two off.

    Just saw a Model X in person.

    A lot are two words. Google Alot Monster.

    Are falcon wings better than a Dodge Carvan slider? Why.

    Cold Weather Motor/Drivetrain noise on Model S P85D [video]

    Wind does affect inanimate objects by cooling them to ambient temp faster.

    A Model S caught fire while supercharging in Norway (link in Norwegian)

    Watch the video again and notice the white smoke streaming from the small shed to the right. Did the fire originate there or the car first? Tesla Model S caught fire / Her står Teslaen i full fyr - YouTube

    A Model S caught fire while supercharging in Norway (link in Norwegian)

    Why didn't the tires burn, if a battery fire would burn low to high.

    The new nose

    Why? A tacked on piece of plastic that does nothing is tacky.

    For those of you buying sigs a "plus" model might be coming later...

    Yep, in other news, the iPhone 7 is coming eventually and the Model S will improve.

    Model X Doors / Door Handles

    No. Auto open doors on drive side only, why would you think the handles don't auto-present? There would no external handles at all if you are correct. BOOM.

    Where is the 70D?

    How would we know. But if you want to speculate, why would there be a 70D rather than only an 85D and 90D/P95D? 70 kilowatts would suck on triple ton GVWR beast...

    The new nose

    Nose cone, grille (not grill) are superfluous and a buggy whip carry-over from the ICE age. Go Tesla on form follows function and leading the way!

    Model X LED Headlights

    Yes or no? Don't care about the daytime running lights, only asking about the headlights.

    Stolen Model S crashes after police pursuit. 7/4/14

    If you pause the above video at the 2:52 mark, you can follow the skidmarks around the corner and see where the Tesla sideswiped the lightpole. It must have broken in half there, the rear flung into the building.
