Category: Tesla Model S and Model X Forum

All vehicles registered in Europe have a standlight, because it is such a rule. Why does my model S not have a standlight? I have not found it yet and there is nothing in the manual. I ask for your help or is there a key combination that I do not know yet?

Hello Here’s a video of how a Frenchman drove 920km with his family in one day and all without superchargers!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_2bC-S-QU0E Driving distance: 920km Total time: 15:59 Driving time: 9:52 Charging time: 5:37 Of course this is faster with a burner. But long distances are already possible without problems with a pure electric car!

It has already been mentioned several times that Tesla continuously integrates improvements into the series without notice. This thread is intended to respond to the changes/improvements. The chrome-plated end strip at the rear has recently been changed. The main reason for some vehicles was that condensation was formed in the intermediate glass in front of the reversing headlight. The new solution works without the intermediate glass. In addition, the Tesla lettering on the chrome strip is now more contoured. Since w If the new bar is installed, I can’t say.

Quotation: It’s only been less than a week since Tesla Motors officially introduced the Model X and delivered the first vehicles. Since only the models 90D and P90D are available at the beginning, the electric SUV is hardly less than 100,000 euros. For this reason, some interested parties are still waiting for a cheaper version to be offered. So far it was clear that there will also be other models in the future, but it was unclear when it would be like this. Now Musk answered a user via Twitter to the question whether and when there will be a Model X 70D. “Something similar to a 70D, but perhaps only in 12 months, is stated in the Twitter message of the Tesla CEO, which has meanwhile been deleted again. That Musk already discloses some information, which he then deletes from his account again, is not unusual. So it was also last, that one wants to expand to Africa by the end of the year. A About this message was deleted a short time later. Maybe Musk should not generate unnecessary speculation on the stock market. Here the Twitter user seems to talk to himself. But actually Musk wrote: “something like a 70, but probably around 12 months from now.

Very interesting to read and confirm what the Tesla drivers like to say over and over again, but read for yourself:http://www.mainpost.de/regional/wuerzburg/Elektroautos;art736.8830617

Good evening, I have been busy with the Tesla Model S for about 6 months and would like to include such a vehicle in our company fleet in the future. A very important point, however, is still not clear for me, the data connection via the integrated Sim card. – What download speeds do I have? – Is there a certain data volume per month? – Is the speed reduced from a certain data consumption? – How about the data connection? (Austria, Switzerland, Italy) – Can I also exchange the SIM card for a “own” one? In addition, the navigation is controlled via Google, what happens if I have no reception or no data connection abroad at all? There are also some other features, such as car locations, via app the interior cooling and heating etc. therefore I find the official information about the data connection somewhat lean. But I also like to let myself be better n teach, if I have only “sought” at the wrong places. Rejoice me about your answers, stay clean

Quote: At the beginning of this month, Audi presented the concept car e-tron quattro concept at the IAA, an electric SUV offering 500 kilometres of range and intended to be launched in 2018. Due to the range that surpasses that of the Model X (maximum 413 kilometres), many media have quickly named the concept vehicle from Audi as “Tesla Killer”. Tesla Motors officially unveiled the Model X yesterday, and thereby announced further information, including the W the so-called flow resistance coefficient, also known as the cW value. This is 0.24 in the Model X and thus 20 percent lower than the next best SUV. Such values are not attainable with an SUV with internal combustion engine. Interestingly, Audi boasted at the presentation of its “Tesla Killer” that with a cW value of 0.25 a new best mark in the SUV segment has been set – that’s how it continues to be on the official company side. The main argument for many media that Audi’s concept car was to call a “Tesla Killer” was the range. However, one has to bear in mind that Audi is a German car manufacturer and thus the range of the vehicles is measured by means of the New European Driving Cycle (NEFZ). Tesla Motors, on the other hand, gives the range according to the values of the US Federal Office of the EPO. The values of the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC) are often not as practical as the EPA values. For example, according to NEDC, the Tesla Model S 85D has a range of 330 miles, while EPA indicates the range of 270 miles. This corresponds to a difference of over 22 percent. The Model X could therefore create values similar to Audi with a 95 kWh battery. Just recently, Elon Musk mentioned in a video interview with a Danish newspaper (the video was mid-wayed). unfortunately removed from Youtube), that he considers an improvement in the range of five to ten percent per year to be realistic. For this reason alone, it is clear that the designation “Tesla Killer” for a concept vehicle that appears in 2018 has been chosen very hastily.

What’s next? BMW builds “Tesla Stores” and Audi wants to use the 18650 cells like Tesla for years in Model S! As a night, an “Audi Gigacharger” charging grid comes with 4 years delay… Quote: The Audi R8 e-tron, Like The Tesla Model S, Uses 18650 Battery Cells Did Audi make use of Tesla的s open-source patents in designing the R8 e-tron? We doubt it, but there is one similarity between the R8 e-tron and Tesla Model S that is impossible to ignore. The R8 e-tron, like the Model S, make use of 18650 cells. In the R8 e-tron, the cell count is 7,488. Those cells are placed in 52 separate modules. Total kWh listed for the battery pack is 91. The cells operate at 3.6 amperes Over in the Tesla Model S 85 kWh you-ll find 7,104 18650 cells. These cells are believed to operate at 3.4 amperes. So, ever-so slightly different than. Perhaps this similarity could lead us to include that if you-re going to build a high-performance, long-range electric car, then the 18650 ce ll is the way to go? Or, could it be that Tesla did share some of its battery ideas with Audi in developing the R8 e-tron? Remember, the R8 e-tron was cancelled back in the day due to Audi only being able to cram 46.6 kWh of battery into the car and the automaker being compromised with its total range. We wonder then, did Tesla provide a solution to Audi, either directly (through discussions) or indirectly (Audi checked out the Model S and found a solution for the R8), or is this all merely a co Incidence?

Although the Tesla S is an electric car, and directly and locally no pollutants are emitted, during its ‘refuelling’ at the dt. power station, e.g. at the superchargers, air pollutants (at the fossil power plants) are very well emitted. Amazingly, above all, that SO2 that should actually be a thing of the past due to the introduction of sulphur-free fuels is again emitted to a considerable extent! Tesla Model S: NOx: 89 mg/km SO2: 61 mg/km For comparison limit values EURO5 Ott omotor: NOx: 60 mg/km SO2: not detectable For other pollutants such as particulate matter, heavy metals look similar! Basis of calculation: dt. Strommix 2012, manufacturer consumption Tesla (181 Wh/km)

Hi, yes I find the Tesla’s sharp and would like to drive one. But how? So the rates would burden my income from self-employment, but then also the treasury less collects. For that I would be particularly nice to the environment, because here it is just so teeming with ugly wind turbines and they produce electricity if no one needs it. However, I have only a few short ways by car because I work from home. Sure to my daughter’s school, sometimes to the merchant, but in de r week is hardly worth talking about. I burn the most diesel on my long journeys to my customers and to conferences. That’s 350-600 km a distance! So I just arrive there, or only with 1-2 hours of reloading stop. On site the search for a power outlet at the end station starts first. But what if the meeting is finished now after four hours? Then I only come back about 200 km and then? I don’t like to make a long charging break – and that’s exactly what the with my i40 diesel it is quite simple: my range is sluggish 1000 km, without refueling. I can always decide where I get the cheapest fuel on the trip and then I fill up in 10 min (including payment). As long as there is no adequate solution for this I will probably continue to dream of losing electric mobility – and save a lot, a lot of money. So that the German state will again become debt-free!
