Apparently Tesla has a software problem with his model S: The car needs electricity, even if it’s not too tight. Here’s a report from a man who drives a Tesla S and complains that if it’s not attached to the charging plug, the car loses 5 to 8% of its reach per day.http://www.greencarreports.com/…/…after-update-vampire-draw-remains It returns this to a poorly developed software from Tesla. During the operation, all possible computer systems are However, the software for shutting down these computer systems was so buggy that it was deactivated. Therefore, the Tesla S computers remain permanently up. While other e-cars such as the Nuissan Leaf or the Opel Ampera consume hardly any energy in the stand, the author’s Tesla needed about 4.5 kilowatt hours a day. With the 60 KWh battery installed, the battery would be empty after 15 days. The author describes how Tesla with various software patches tried to get the problem under control. But they did not succeed completely. Then he presents us with an odd calculation: The “Vampire Drain” (of which many people do not notice so much because they have their Tesla always at night at the current) corresponds meanwhile, calculated on the total delivered vehicle stock, the daily power of a medium nuclear power plant – enough electrical energy to drive Teslas 50 million miles My idea: a large-scale manufacturer such as Nissan, GM, BMW or VW must not afford such start-up problems. That’s why it may also take so long for these manufacturers to launch series electric cars on the market.
