  • Why are you driving Tesla?

    The sale announcement from Dean7777 has moved me to ask this question. Nothing in the world could make me invest €88,000 gross in a used car with 105,000 km. I am not concerned with a debate about financial possibilities. I hope that the moderation also prevents this. It is about the emotional reasons why people are willing to take such a deep hold of your mobility. Personally, I have never been in a Tesla ges So write here like the blind man of color. Is the main reason to decide for a Tesla is that you see yourself as a pioneer on the way to a better time, which can do without the fight for oil? Or is it rather the new advanced drive concept that makes up the fascination? There must already be a lot of emocions that a Tesla buyer must have, that he will lose the current battle prices in the leasing of Audi, BMW or Mercedes around himself for a The sentence “never burner again” always makes me particularly thoughtful. What is so much better about electric driving? I have a rational relationship with the car myself. For me, the price/performance ratio has to be right and it can still be fun. I hope the Tesla community doesn’t take away my questions.

  • Vegan electric car: Tesla listens to customers

    Palo Alto – If you listen to your customers, you don’t make a mistake. This also applies to car manufacturers, and especially to those who claim that we are not only making the world a little bit better, but also a lot better. For many people it may have been a cuncher than two Tesla small shareholders. However, in Tesla’s customer group, which is likely to be above-averagely sensitized to environmental and sustainability issues, an important minority does not like it, Elon Musk however knows ß what he owes to the wealthy, left-liberal middle class – accordingly he took the proposal of the couple Peters seriously. “We look at this, said Musk. Family Peters now even owns two leather-free model S, each individual production. Even if there are higher equipment without leather seats, there is usually still animal skin somewhere in the cockpit. For mass manufacturers it is not easy to change a equipment option – and the majority of customers prefer L Tesla has now responded to the customer’s request, after other interested parties for vegans came forward. which takes into account the wishes of vegan customers. . Other car manufacturers have already understood: If vegans can pay for an expensive car, they want to drive without leather. At the Model S Tesla still has an “unofficial equipment variant” available: fabric seats are regularly available. If you want to select the standard leather steering wheel in addition, you must: At the moment, Tesla is still in direct contact.

  • Which model/model type is that exactly?

    Sorry for my ignorance. Today I stumbled on a park and ride parking lot for the first time over a Tesla in the wild that pulled new juice at an Eon pump. This naturally aroused my curiosity. It is probably not to be overlooked that it is a roadster. Which model/model type is that exactly (approx. model year)?

  • Future research and technology – google fiber

    Hello, Mr. Thomsen spoke in addition to Tesla also about Internet speed. Immediately was roared, which one is a spider, fast networked there is not. Well, there is very well and how TESLA comes it from the USA. In Germany Internet is impossible, Drosselkom and 1 minus 1 do not make it. There you just gamble with 1-6 mbit through the net. Streaming is intentionally blocked. (is on my mobile phone with umts faster than with dsl) Now come so spinner from the sillicon valley with Google fiberhttp://cdn.hotstockmarket.com/8/8b/500x1000px-LL-8b66a5cb_xXTmxtc.jpeg 1000mbit IN BEING ORDERS up and downstream. for 70$ a month + 1000GB memory. for 120 there are then 2 terrabyte memory and tv. the free version consists of 5 mbit. FREE!!! Yes, in Germany you pay 25€ a month and then it doesn’t even work.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Fiber But as already predicted here, it takes 25-50 years… (also with the new battery generation) And nei This is how Google itself becomes a provider, a new player on the market. how tesla build the charging stations itself. (also that nobody believed at the beginning of the thread with the first 6 loaders in CA here.) but as long as Mercedes says the customer doesn’t want to load with more than 11kw, now the customer has to buy halt model s or soon model e instead of Mercedes. and likewise the telekom and 1-1 customer does not want a fast network. so beautiful Sunday

  • Deleted posts from KaJu74`s Blog

    Since I am not for censorship, but discussions in my blog will delete rigorously from now on, I pack all deleted posts in here. There can then be further discussion. @ SparAstra Well, at Subaru it is 69kWh heat energy of which about 1/3 are turned into motion (23 kWh) and the rest into heat. At Tesla it is exactly the other way around: use of 69kWh heat energy in the power plant with an efficiency of 45%. each 6% energy loss per 100km power transmission line (re With an average distance of 200km from the power plant, we still have 12% loss) Then 10% loss while charging and discharging. So (45 + 12 + 10) 67% loss. And so we land exactly at the 23kWh which are put into motion. Greetings SparAstra Of course I know that KaJu74 with “own solar power” charges his vehicle. >My Subaru needs 69 kWh / 100 km. Here you can see what a vintage car I drive and how to deal with energy. @emobilezukunft Besch Are you going to be using your oven, TV, fridge etc. about the poor efficiency of the power generation? If no ,why then with the car? @SparAstra Why I only complain to the car? Because the absolute numbers are highest here: My TV needs about 200kWh per year (for this, 600 kWh heat is required in the power plant) My refrigerator needs about 100kWh per year (for this, 300 kWh heat is required in the power plant) The Tesla needs approx. Year (that’s 13800 kWh heat is needed in the power plant, i.e. 1393 liters of diesel, that’s converted 6.96 L diesel / 100km). Don’t you think that you could move a Tesla with a ventilated diesel engine below 6.96 L diesel / 100km? Is another topic when the electricity really comes from renewables, like KaJu74. But all the others who just hang their electric car to the “normal power grid”. Just make it clear where the “big chunks” are, where you can save energy. ß SparAstra To my heating system: It already has about 99% efficiency (about 15000kWh per year of gas pure, about 149xx kWh of heat out). However, the biggest mess would be to heat with electricity (night storage ovens …) there for the approximately 15000kWh heat would have to be generated in my house in the power plant about 45000kWh heat. > Do you actually complain about the bad > efficiency of the power generation? > If no, why d ann by the car?

  • BMW Advertising to Animate Model 3 Reserver for Change

    Here are two commercials from BMW from the USA. Just ridiculous to want to lure an e-car customer with a plug-in, which according to the standard comes only 40km far electric. (My personal opinion)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1v0QKtPXEFQhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zf7KvtGNMbQhttp://elelectrek.co/2016/08/05/bmw-tesla-model-3-ridiculous-commercial/ You take Tesla more seriously than they always say. Greeting KaJu PS: Please don’t move to the community area.

  • Tesla Model S and X P100D: Prices

    Berlin – According to Tesla, the new model S P100D is said to be the fastest “currently available series car in the world”. LaFerrari and Porsche 918 are only small series, which can no longer be bought, explained Elon Musk. Well. In 2.7 seconds, the model S P100D accelerates to 100 km/h – the same time Nissan used to say for the GT-R. Today, the Japanese don’t dare to do this anymore and prefer to speak of “less than three seconds”. Tesla still dares, even at the price. S P100D costs as much as one-and-a-half Nissan GT-R (99,900 euros).At least 152,000 euros have to be paid for the fastest model S in Germany. An enlarged battery with 100 kilowatt hours of capacity increases the range in the standard cycle to 613 kilometers. Thus, the model S P100D reaches the best range value for a series electric car so far – and the second highest price. The larger battery is also offered for the SUV Model X. Here the NEDC range is 542 kilome In 3.1 seconds, the Model X P100D sprints to 100 km/h. The price is 153,100 euros – and is expected to be the highest for a series electric car at the moment. Both vehicles offer a top speed of 250 km/h and four-wheel drive.

  • 500,000 cars since 2018?

    Read more here: Shareholder Letter Q1/2016″Advancing 500,000 unit build plan by two years to 2018″ That’s a bit surprising now, isn’t it? I’m curious how they want to do this. Otherwise, a quarterly report like we used to have 282 million $ loss I just flew over the paper for lack of time, I noticed the increase in the position “Selling, general and administrative” to 318 million $ compared to 195 million $ in Q1/2015 (more SeC ́s and related personnel?) While “Research and development” remained relatively unchanged at $182 million, I’m curious what you’re saying.

  • More and more e-cars from other manufacturers – competition or advantage for TESLA?

    TESLA has made legs for many car manufacturers, and look, suddenly it’s possible to build e-cars that don’t look like rollers with asphalt saws as wheels. More and more electric cars. Do you think this competition might even be good for TESLA? Because this way the batteries are even cheaper thanks to mass production and the entire electrical infrastructure is being expanded more. I think that in 5 years e-cars will be cheaper to have than burners, and in 20 years not a single verbr enner will be more approved (All cars drive autonomously)

  • Elon Musk: From the production hell to the delivery hell

    Palo Alto – The new Model 3 electric car’s production boost is coming up with Tesla’s next problem: Elon Musk’s company is no longer following with the delivery of the built vehicles. “Sorry, we got into the delivery logistics hell from the production hell,” said the head of the company on Monday on Twitter. He responded to the complaint of a buyer who wrote that her delivery date is being pushed further and further backwards. Musk assures It was not until the end of June 2018 – half a year later than planned – that the problem would soon be solved. Musk described the problems as “production hell” and often stayed at the factory to supervise the production itself. More than 400,000 reservations for the Model 3 were received by Tesla. The vehicle is intended to open up a wider market for the company. Musk hired for the second Jah The success should depend decisively on the production and delivery speed of the model 3. Source: dpa
