  • Move Model 3 efficiently

    Hi, in order to further reduce my current consumption of around 18/19/20 kW, I’m looking for ways to do this. What suggestions do you have? Here are a few things I’ve been thinking about: 1. Increase tire pressure to 3.4 bar 2. Reduce acceleration as less power is requested 3. Drive ahead and reduce recuperation to roll more (similar to fuel-saving principle for burners) 4. Ventilation manually, no AC (1x week 60min to get), 20 degrees temperature 5. Lower the vehicle? 6. Max 120 kmh on motorways 7. Autopilot deactivate before ramping up in traffic What do you say?

  • Return periods – period and conditions?

    Quote: @derJan82 wrote on 23. April 2019 at 15:01:54 Uhr: Well, I’m looking forward to my order. Since I want to sell my old one before, I would have to bridge a certain period of time “autofree”. The shorter, the better. I would also take a fault-free back runner with corresponding price discount. But that was already allowed, right? _____ [Deposited from motor talk from the topic ” “.]

  • Split dimensions Model 3

    I compared some gap dimensions of the Model 3 with those of the Golf 7. Split between the rear lights: M3 left 7mm, right 5mm – golf left 5mm, right 3mm Rear door to the body: M3 left 6mm, right 5mm – golf both sides 3mm Most other gap dimensions on the M3 are all Ok and comparable to those of the Golf – are about 3mm. The impacts of the plastic parts to the body are uneven and partly slightly crooked. Fortunately, the car is black, so this is not so noticeable. The M3 leaves the impression of a poorly maintained accident vehicle. The seat in the M3 is approx. 3 cm shorter than that in the Gulf GTI.

  • Tesla boss admits mistakes

    Palo Alto – Tesla CEO Elon Musk has admitted that the production problems of the new Model 3 electric car were exacerbated by excessive automation. In an interview by TV channel CBS Musk confirmed that robots had slowed down manufacturing in some cases. “We had this crazy, complex network of treadmills. And it didn’t work, so we got rid of it,” he said as an example. Later Musk added on Twitter: “Yes, the exaggerated Autom Attization at Tesla was a mistake. To be precise, my mistake. People are undervalued.” It is an unusual admission for Musk, who was always fascinated by the potential of automated production. He spoke of the “machine that builds machines”, and robots that move faster than the human eye can recognize. To implement the vision, Tesla bought among other things the German mechanical engineer Grohmann from Prüm in Rhineland-Palatinate. Musk said in the Int erview also that in Model 3 “too many new technologies were packed in at once”. “That should have been staggered.” The Model 3 is to bring electric mobility from the niche to a wider market with a price of 35,000 dollars before taxes and discounts. Tesla received more than 400,000 reservations for the vehicle, but since the official production start in summer 2017, it has been trying to finish it. This target was postponed to the end of June. At the end of March, Tesla produced a good 2,000 Model 3 weekly.Source: dpa

  • Tesla Wall Connector only available with FIN?

    Quotation: @fanta241 wrote on March 17, 2018 at 12:51:33 am: I find that interesting. I just looked through the website of Tesla again and at least it is not clear there. They only write there: What for me does not clearly show that I as “not yet Tesla owner” can not buy this wallbox for me. Yes, with the communication at Tesla is still air to the top…

  • Tesla boss Musk sets up sleeping camps in factory

    Palo Alto – Tesla CEO Elon Musk now wants to personally take care of the progress in the production of the Model 3. He does not want to leave production manager Doug Field alone to supervise. “Now it’s time to split up and conquer”, wrote the 46-year-old Group CEO on Twitter. He will also set up his dorm in the Tesla factory again. “The car business is hell,” wrote Musk. Previously, the Silicon Valley portal “The Information” had reported that Mu sk has taken control of the previously unsatisfactory production of the first Tesla model for a larger group of buyers. Tesla is making it difficult to create that the production of the Model 3 is repeatedly thrown back by breakdowns and thus starts up much slower than planned. Industry observers doubt that the already postponed target of reaching 2,500 vehicles per week was reached by the end of March. Originally, the company wanted to be ready to by the end of 2017 to 5,000 vehicles of the Model 3 per week, this target brand has now been postponed to the end of June. Tesla decided on a production with even more automation than usual at the Model 3 – and it takes longer to stop the machines, it says. Source: dpa

  • First accident

    I had not yet become accustomed to inserting the lever all the way up or down around R or D. I never had a car with automatic. I have already driven, even with steering wheel gear, but the position of the lever corresponded to the gear. With Tesla on turn signals and gear gear gear, the lever always jumps back to the middle position; so it is not immediately clear for the untrained one which gear is on it. So when parking between two cars on the road I was almost at the rear A uto and then wanted to put something in front and the car, put the gear in, or wanted to, but didn’t push far enough. Trat on acceleration pedal and the car drove on the rear car. 🙁 No big damage, but still stupid. But why? The car could know that the speed was extremely slow and also that the car behind me stood still. So why not just start? No one would want to do that. Just say, 10 cm a full brake. I didn’t expect the car to do a full braking in this case to prevent the impact, but in retrospect I wonder why not? Technically possible, and would spare a lot of suffering. This is a situation where no one can want the car to go backwards, at least not at all. t more than the distance to the obstacle.

  • Experiences at top speed (Long Range)

    I have now also driven the first time top speed in my LR AWD. went up quite quickly until he then abruptly hit the brake at 234 tacho – achja there was what he was in any case top and was also not able to bring from the autobahn curves out of peace. soundwise it was somehow a rich but not too loud noise. you could still hear good music or talk with something raised voice. so everything i.o., so often you don’t drive that if you don’t want penetrante n ah the next supercharger has

  • Model 3 Long Range – Question about performance (PS)

    Hello Together I have a question about the performance (PS) of the model 3 variants max. range and perfomance. How much hp do these two variants have? And there are at best differences in the years of construction. If you look at the advertised model at autoscout24.ch, you can find e.g. with the Perfomance model with 483 hp, with 505 hp, with 513 hp. Leg the Long Range I have seen variants with 462 hp, 476 hp, 491 hp. I don’t look through it anymore. But I think that’s probably just wrong. e Details. Would be nice if someone could help me on the jumps. Greetings JeraldoCH
