Several conference attendees have asked about getting a copy of my slides from the conference. They are now available here:
Model S Battery Pack Longevity
Model S Performance (all but the first slide appear in the Battery Longevity slides)
They are just the slides with no additional commentary, so they probably won't make a lot of sense unless you attended the talks. I plan to update the charts with the data that has been added to the Model S survey since I finalized the presentations for the show (including Dante's 91,500-mile report), add a chart comparing "A" batteries to later versions, and write a paper to explain it all. That's at least a few weeks out, but I wanted to make the slides available for TMC Connect attendees right away.
Tom, Thanks for the great data. However I'm still not sure if I understand the definition of pack cycle correctly. Do you consider two cycles from 80% -> 30% -> 80% the same as one cycle from 100% -> 0% -> 100% and both counts as one cycle? What are the bases of this assumption?
