I bet that in ten years you will be able to get a much better battery for a few thousand dollars. Remember the Tesla Roadster upgraded to a 400 mike range? They’re obscenely expensive because they need to be built by hand.recumpence said:Warren,
If you treat the battery properly, I bet you will have over 70% capacity in 10 years.
Tesla has also been working directly with some companies to create better insurance programs for its owners.
It’s called InsureMyTesla and it features custom insurance plans for the automaker’s electric vehicles underwritten by insurers partnering with Tesla.
We haven’t heard much about the program since it launched last year, but Tesla has now hired Alex Tsetsenekos, a former exec at Liberty Mutual, Tesla’s partner for InsureMyTesla in the US, and several other insurance companies, to lead the program in North America.
At a conference later this year, he is set to give a keynote presentation titled ‘Building a Customer Centric Insurance Company for Tesla’.
He said about this upcoming presentation:
In Australia and Hong Kong, where the program first launched, a Tesla executive said that they were already selling the majority of their vehicles with the insurance plan.The evolution of the customer experience is accelerating through the advent of new products, partners, and services. As an auto manufacturer, Tesla recognizes that delivering a truly digital insurance customer experience is critical to the ‘Tesla experience’ moving forward. I’m excited to share our four key areas of focus to make this happen and discuss synergies between insurance and utilities.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk said that the insurers charging high premiums for Tesla vehicles weren’t competitive and suggested that Tesla owners simply change insurers if they weren’t satisfied.
Maybe you could figure out how to hack the performance mode? Except for the fact I they use “selected” motor the only difference is software. I bet you could make a fortune if you could figure out how to hack it.Arlo1 said:Congrats Matt. My wife and I camped out while she was pregnant to put down 2 deposits on Model 3s We are giving one to Casey who does a electric only Drag race high school in Vancouver. And the other we will get the LR battery and AWD... I really want performance but man its not cheep.
The two 23 cell modules are at each edge of the pack and 67 1/2 inches long, 11 1/2 inches wide and 3 1/2 inches thick and weigh 191 lbs.
The two 25 cell modules are located in the middle of the pack and 73 inches long, 11 1/2 inches wide and 3 1/2 inches thick and weigh 207 lbs.
My point is, California drivers being what they are, it’s going to soon be RAINING Model 3 batteries in the junk yards. But we don’t know how to use them. And I haven’t heard of anybody else that does either.
There are TWO 38 pin chips connecting to the left side copper tape and two 64 pin chips connecting to the right hand copper tape. One of the ongoing little never discussed issues with measuring cell voltage is that if you are pumping any current through the same wires you are measuring, the drop of the wires causes perturbation of the measured voltage. So whenever you “balance” these cells, you throw off the voltage measurement.
It is my belief that this generation chip has a real measurement resolution as small as 0.0022volts or 2.2 millivolts. So very very small resistance values can cause errors. Note the three tiny wires connecting to each copper land. And I guess I think we are doing cell balancing on one side of the module, while simultaneously monitoring voltage on the OTHER side of the module entirely out of the current path. This is a stunning solution and very difficult to implement normally because it means twice the numbers of wires and connections. But the flexible PCB tape approach makes this quite feasible. I’ve never seen anything like it. It’s like technology from another planet.
Hahah Jack he is hard to watch. I skim some of his videos. Non the less I heard the M3 performance is the same parts other then the wheels and brakes as the regular AWD M3. So it seems software will need to be hacked. And yeah a profit of $5-10k a car would be realistic.MitchJi said:Maybe you could figure out how to hack the performance mode?

The information in this post and video on the M3’s battery pack by our friend Jack Rickard is worth tolerating his presence on the video to obtain imo:

Thanks for posting the video link!Hillhater said:Unlikely..Arlo1 said:Likely has the corrections on.
This is Sasha, who has previously built his own Tesla powered Lotus Evora, and spent many days on the dyno configuring custom motor controls , drive modes etc, with it.
He knows how to dyno an EV. (He may even own the Dyno)
Yes there will be an air suspension option I’m 2019. But in the US the full tax credit expires in 2018, which means that air suspension would cost us at least an additional $3750.Arlo1 said:The OEM shocks and springs have changed since the start of production because many complained about a rough ride. Later maybe next year there will be a air suspension option
