    Showroom sign: 12 sensors + 2 cameras?

    Possible, but I wouldn't expect the unrelated backup camera to be listed in the facts of an infographic about Autopilot. The longer paragraph mentions just one camera. Either someone messed up or it really relates to the backup camera, but that would be more confusing than anything else.

    Showroom sign: 12 sensors + 2 cameras?

    After Model X being delivered with dual camera housings, the discussion about Autopilot 2.0 hardware having two or more cameras came up. Yesterday, I went to the brand new showroom in Luxembourg and found this very interesting image on the wall. I remember seeing one illustration similar...

    Newer P90DL makes 662 hp at the battery!!!

    Hi, I'm really late to the party, and while this thread is super interesting to read, over 700 posts are a lot. Would someone be so kind as to summarize some stuff you found out? Is this increase a software thing? Is it limited to 90 KWh packs, and if yes, do production dates matter? Would...

    Tesla Autopilot Commercial

    The way I understand it is that "Smartspeed" is that feature that automatically sets the TACC speed based on the speed limit. So you just have to pull the stalk and go the speed limit (+5 mph or whatever your preference is). They changed the behavior of the stalk in 7.0 but now have come up with...

    [Speculation] 120kWh Model S links on German Tesla site?

    ...obviously. Just wanted to contribute to the Photoshop challenge. BTW didn't edit the buttons, so you can't trust that analytics on everything, just because it marks it as purple. ;) Could have remove the Adobe tags, but wasn't worth it. Edit: Just dropped the original image into that...

    Found this on Facebook today! :eek:

    GM's desperate try of selling me a Volt

    Gave me a good laugh when browsing a Tesla article on the Verge ;)

    Model 3 Performance Speculation @ Hawthorne Event? 0-60, etc.

    The cars were AWD, as a driver said, but in Elons Twitter AMA, he mentioned that the production AWD will be much faster, so it's hard to draw any conclusions now.

    Class Presentation/Demonstration help

    Hey, I didn't have as much time as I hoped for, but everything is translated and I integrated new Model X and 3 pictures. Hope this helps for tomorrow! (sent you a link via PM)

    Model 3 skateboard chassis to be available separately?

    Motorchase got their info from CarAdvice and that article was their April Fools joke.

    I'll try to get an updated version ready by Sunday.

    This is REALLY for RealZ the REAL Model 3!!! Or, maybe not...?

    Haha, my thoughts exactly. :) The speculation about the tiniest things is going too far, IMO. I'd say be patient and watch Netflix in the meantime, or try to sleep, depending on your timezone. I would have to get up at 5:30 AM to watch the livestream anyway, so I'm just gonna wait for the whole...

    Class Presentation/Demonstration help

    No problem! When do you plan to bring your car to the college? I wanted to redo the presentation anyway for Model 3. That would mean I would do it this weekend or early next week with information from the event tonight.

    How's your line?

    The others are hanging out over here ;): Show Us Your Tents!!

    Jerk who interrupts others charging to get higher amps

    Ah OK. I knew about the shared chargers but thought they would balance automatically and not prioritize. Thanks for the explanation :)

    Reserve the first Model 3 for Nikola post mortem

    Cool idea. Hope Elon sees this ;)

    Jerk who interrupts others charging to get higher amps

    You mean the ramp up of amperage when it checks the connection? Or consistently low output?

    We want some Model 3 Leaks, renders, sketches !

    Would say fake too. Reminds me of the LED prototype someone saw on a testing Model S. Also that picture on twitter looks like 4 Xenon lights or something strange.

    Jerk who interrupts others charging to get higher amps

    How would he interrupt charging on a supercharger? Normally the cable is locked into the port.

    Can you find an image of the BMW headlights you are referring to? Like the newer ones or the older models?

    Guess you need that projector from Mission Impossible so the guard doesn't see your tents when he does his patrol ;)

    Wow, they really keep up the tension for tonight.

    Were you shown a picture of the car and given new details when signing the reservation?

    What Color Will the Revealed Model 3 Be?

    ...or maybe an entirely new color!

    Class Presentation/Demonstration help

    I gave a presentation a while ago in both my physics and economics class. One focusses more on the technicalities like how the AC motor works and the other focusses more on incentives in Germany. The latter would be less interesting for your target group I guess. Both share the same information...

    GTA 5: Combustion Engines vs. Electric Motors explained

    Don't know if you are gonna appreciate this, but I found this video of some guy explaining the difference between ICEs and electric motors... in GTA 5. Strange but perhaps funny :wink: and it features a Model S.

    (Video) Launching the P85D in a parking garage

    Yeah. I shouldn't probably tell you where that was, so I don't get sued for speeding inside there :D but it was a place where you don't find children very often. Also we did some parking exercises and nobody came and went for more than one hour. So we played it safe here.

    (Video) Launching the P85D in a parking garage

    Late at night, we took our Model S to a parking garage to get the hang of maneuvering with its quite large dimensions. After more than an hour of nobody coming or going, we decided to try launching the car inside there. We did some test runs to find out how fast you can go without hitting the...

    P85D going 155 mph / 250 km/h with newest .153 Firmware (Video)

    Yes, if I recall correctly, .153 update raised the P85D's limit to 155. The update has been rolling out since Friday and we seem to be one of the first to get the update. Maybe you didn't get it yet, check the About-Screen on your MS. What version does it read? As far as I know, Tesla takes some...

    P85D going 155 mph / 250 km/h with newest .153 Firmware (Video)

    I emptied the pack (90 to 7 percent) in 100 km. So obviously, you wouldn't get from supercharger to supercharger at 217 km/h either. Still fun :D Release notes state: "Your P85D can now perform high passing maneuvers up to 155 mph (250 km/h) when battery energy, powertrain temperature, and road...

    P85D going 155 mph / 250 km/h with newest .153 Firmware (Video)

    Very fast :D At one point we had to break, but we would've had the 250 a second later if we hadn't. I'm going to do a new try, going solid 250 (before it limits) with a dashcam and in daylight. The update installed at 8 PM here and we went afterwards, so you probably would not have seen much.

    P85D going 155 mph / 250 km/h with newest .153 Firmware (Video)

    Hi, this is my first thread, so please excuse my mistakes. As .153 arrived today on our P85D, we took it for a spin to test the new top speed of 250 km/h (155 mph). We drove to an unrestricted part of the German Autobahn and went "full accelerator". I shot a video of that, please excuse the...

    Tesla cuts 60kWh Model S, entry-level Model S is now 70D.

    Hi, Yeah, seems Tesla has done some changes to available configurations. 60 is gone, now you get a 70D with All-Wheel-Drive Standard. You still get the 85 with RWD and AWD as an Option. So the new Model S fleet is 70D, 85, 85D and P85D. Another interesting thing is that the Tech Package is...
