We had water, burning death batteries and frostbite death in winter as risks of the model S. But I don’t think the topic of marten damage has been discussed here yet. A diesel is safe there you lose a hose and some cooling water at most. But with a Tesla the TOD threatens!!! Either the cooling of the battery is nailed, this overheated and FACKELT SPONTAN AB!!! Or the HV line is eaten and the driver becomes TOTGESTROMT. Therefore I would never have a DOWN Tesla but always only drive a SAFE DIESEL (with Ultimate Power Bauer).

>The US electric car manufacturer Tesla wants to raise its first factory in Europe. As soon as the company sells more than 160,000 vehicles on the continent, this makes sense, said CEO Elon Musk “Automotive News” according to the report of Thursday. “My ambitions for Europe are that we sell a comparable number of cars in Europe as in the US.” This year, Tesla wants to double its sales after around 24,000 cars were sold worldwide in 2013. Three-quarters of the turnover will be generated in the USA, the rest in Europe. Research center in the UK A research and development center in the UK should be opened in 2015 or 2016 at the latest, said Musk. Also the plant in the Netherlands, where the batteries for the Tesla vehicles imported from the USA will be reinstalled, should be expanded.< Source: http://diepresse.com/.../Tesla-plant-ElektroautoFactory-in-Europe?

I have a 5.5kWp solar system at home which is integrated into the house network. On a good sunny day – depending on the season – I produce with it between 25 and 35 kWh a day. If I now simply connect my Model S during the largest solar radiation (between 11 and 16h) to a house socket, I should be able to charge in these 5 hours approx. 15-20kWh directly from the solar system (as long as no other large consumers like washing machine are switched on). If this option – or age me The charge from the grid without PV energy is enough overnight – I don’t need an additional home charging station. Is that right – or do I make a mistake somewhere? Only if all this is too slow for me, I need e.g. a 11kW (400V, 16A) three-phase socket – then in the best case only half of the energy comes from my solar roof.

Beijing – He is not a real autopilot, the “Autopilot” of Tesla. The manufacturer himself officially says that the system should support the driver. However, he is responsible for his car. Just like all other manufacturers. After some incidents there was now the first “Autopilot” accident in China. No one was injured, both cars got a few coarse scratches and dents. Nevertheless, this incident has consequences for the electric car manufacturer from Palo Alto: According to a report from the news agency “Reuters” Tesla has deleted the name “Autopilot” and the signs for “self-driving” from the Chinese Tesla page. The cause of the accident had declared the accident in an interview. Before the purchase the Tesla seller had explained to him that it was a vehicle with an autopilot. To prove that he had not touched the steering wheel and pedals during the test drive. Tesla answered “Reuters” on demand, one would always make improvements. This measure has nothing to do with current events. According to Reuters, the deleted term “zidong jiashi” is literally to be translated as “self-driving”, i.e. self-driving. In addition, it can mean “autopilot” [videotag]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m8DB0p7t_JI[/videotag]

Tesla plans to equip the whole of North America with supercharger fast charging stations over the next 5 years, which will allow you to charge half of the battery in 30 minutes and reach 150 miles away. 6 of them are already ready for operation in California. The use is FREE and the systems are fed via solar energy. This makes electromobility (almost) completely emission-free.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wgk5-eB9oTY I think this is nothing less than a revolution. It would be a great idea to come to Europe as soon as possible.

Hello dear Tesla-drivers, I don’t drive an e-vehicle myself yet and would like to wait a bit, because there is no purchase of a new vehicle at the moment. Nevertheless, I have a little question of understanding and would like you to answer it briefly. Again and again I notice that not weary Tesla drivers avoid speeding up or driving a few km faster for a short time. I come to this now, because a few days ago as in the past also had One Tesla is more likely to have overtaken another vehicle with only a few km faster, so that the overtaking process took quite a long time. However, the StVO requires a quick overtaking, i.e. if the vehicle is driven at the same speed as the one to be overtaken, it must be accelerated and ideally overtaken at at at least 20 km/h higher speed. Well, some Tesla drivers don’t do this. So it must have an advantage, because otherwise they would do Is the energy consumption significantly higher when accelerated? Is the energy consumption really so much higher when 20 seconds to overtake the speed is increased by 20 km/h? I always thought that exactly this is not the case and a decisive advantage over a burner. When an electric vehicle is accelerated, hardly any energy is lost, because at the slower, almost all the energy needed to accelerate is returned to the battery. are I wrong about this?

Hertz picks up Tesla (here) and (here). Let’s see how long it really takes for them to have all the vehicles. But it’s not just in D.

My good Mercedes E280 has not been in our possession for a long time, I always miss it more and more every day. As a replacement a Mercedes should come back here again, this time as E320 CDI with the good six-cylinder diesel engine, the probably best series, the W211. My partner in life said last time that you should go with the time and take more care of the environment, which I rather return to then. We have now looked at a Tesla model S with just under 295,000 kilometres. For a proud 30,000 euros. I almost lost my spit. A very good W211 with a few kilometers of the last years of construction as a fuel-efficient diesel with DPF costs around 10,000 euros. It is well known that the entry bans with Euro 4/5/6 are not controlled, so it is not necessary for a D what would you do? W211 or Model S with several hundred thousand kilometers? Greetings from Hans

How time runs. 2013 is over and hopefully there is an accident-free and exciting driver year behind you. We want to take stock with you and ask you how you came through the year 2013 with your mobile kit. Was everything to your satisfaction or were there worries and annoyances with your vehicle or the service of the manufacturer?How satisfied were you in 2013 with your Tesla? Vote in the survey and comment Your praise or criticism. W Ir have to many manufacturers a direct wire and the manufacturers also read with us on MOTOR-TALK. That’s why your opinion is exactly where it should land: at Tesla.

> 500 km with one charge of electricity – not even so bad safely economically driven but nevertheless occupied with 2 medium-heavy 😉 people and a series Teslahttp://green.autoblog.com/…/…es-on-a-charge-in-global-green-challe
