I wonder if they are using single crystal batterieslatest nickle-based batteries
They said that virtually the whole car is made in the USA...so, do they have the Panasonic batteries ?The Highland use LG NMC/NMCA.
These packs has been used by 3/Y in EU for a couple of years now.
They are good but not a huge difference to the earlier types. Slightly lower degradation than before, on the other hand the ”before” and 10% after 200K mi was not really true.
The data shows that the best average is ~5.5 % loss after ~ two years.
Thats ~ 4% after two years which point at 12.5% after 10 years. Not 5-6%…
S/X use the same brand and tech/chemistry as before (Panna 18650 NCA), and they follow about the same degradation profile as before or at least quite close.
Where’s the 5-6% after 10 years packs?
They where about to start producing LG cells in US.They said that virtually the whole car is made in the USA...so, do they have the Panasonic batteries ?
He was referring to the cars they kept in the freezer.Where’s the 5-6% after 10 years packs?
I also got the impression from the video that Jay Leno’s daily ride is a Tesla Model S Plaid....does anyone know if this is true ?Just found this video where the Chief Engineer of Tesla claimed that their latest nickle-based batteries lose only 5%-6% of capacity after 10 years:
Some say it's his "daily car" but he rides in more than just the MS. He has over 300 cars and bikes which he rides regularly. And he has a team of mechanics and restorers keeping his cars on tip top condition.Leno’s daily ride
But he said his Model S has high mileage.....so may be they just use it to buy spares for the Fords (sorry old joke)Some say it's his "daily car" but he rides in more than just the MS.

Let’s get back to this video.....they said the Highland has newly designed tires....and they make the car go further...so, does anyone know what these tires are called ?....and would they give my older Model 3LR a longer range ?Just found this video where the Chief Engineer of Tesla claimed that their latest nickle-based batteries lose only 5%-6% of capacity after 10 years:
Hankook ion Evo;Let’s get back to this video.....they said the Highland has newly designed tires....and they make the car go further...so, does anyone know what these tires are called ?....and would they give my older Model 3LR a longer range ?
That’s an improvement of 2.25%....not bad...but I would not want a tire that handles badly....the video also said the new wheels also help range, but that’s a step too farHankook ion Evo;
View attachment 1033914
The 18” at 6.21 kg/ton is qualified for the A, but just barely below (<6.5kg/ton).
E-primacy is around 5.6 or so.
At 2 ton this difference causes a difference of ~ 5Wh per mile.
No of the low RR tyres perform very well in the broad range of tests, so they are good to give range but handles worse.
The 5Wh/mi is between highland stock 18” and the e-primacy.That’s an improvement of 2.25%....not bad...but I would not want a tire that handles badly....the video also said the new wheels also help range, but that’s a step too far
Michelin Pilot Sports.....expensive but great tires..... 18 inch on aero wheelsThe 5Wh/mi is between highland stock 18” and the e-primacy.
What tumyresdo you have now?
P4 ?Michelin Pilot Sports.....expensive but great tires..... 18 inch on aero wheels
So do the Michelin Sports P4 have a longer or shorter range than the newer Handkook ?P4 ?
These are ”C” rated i think.
7.8-9 kg/ton
The difference in rolling resistance is about
~8.x -5.x = so, 2.5 kg/ton (just geabbing a value to have anything to count from.
2.5 x 2 x 9.81 = 49N in Rolling Resistance.
49 x 1000/3600 = 13.6Wh/km -> 21.9Wh/mi
Shorter.So do the Michelin Sports P4 have a longer or shorter range than the newer Handkook ?
What is often not discussed is the treadwear rating (for US DOT requirements)Hankook ion Evo
Yes, we have the same here in EU (only for about the last 8 years or so, so most people that know tires knows the US spec on tje wheels.)What is often not discussed is the treadwear rating (for US DOT requirements)
The higher the treadwear rating the longer the tyre wear duration
Treadwear, Traction and Temperature ratings are printed on the sidewall of most/all tyres and are actual tests compared to a stock tyre.
I look at these rather than any published "marketing" mumbo jumbo
Treadwear rating 600 in an ION, 360 in a Ventus (OEM tyre for MY)
Traction rating AA ION, AA Ventus
