Bjørn's Tesla Model S videos

I don't think all that heat is ending up in the cabin (though from your comments apparently some of it does.) The chargers are liquid cooled and part of the main cooling loop, aren't they?

Also, some portion of that heat is being generated in the pack rather than in the chargers to begin with - I'm not sure if we have a good way of knowing how much is charger and how much is battery, but the internal resistance of the cells means you lose some power during charging (and during discharging, though I think that usually gets counted in the car's "kWh used" totals anyway.)

Yes, my efficiency test is for the whole charging process. Not only limited in the chargers. For example, the cable gets warm and probably loses a few watts here. The battery also gets warmed up a little bit.

I thought referrers get a Founder's X, not Signature

I guess the workflow hasn't implemented a separate option for Founders. Even though it says Signature, I will get Founders.

A bit off topic. But there's a short clip of the Millennium Falcon in this video

If I had put in an entry for your contest I would have guessed everything correctly except for the wheels and the décor.

I thought Bjørn would go for signature red.

I am looking forward to the Model X videos!
