    Lars Moravy says Roadster cold gas thrusters are built for production, not just for show

    What a waste to pay so much and then let a car like this drive itself? This is Tesla ending its human driven car lineup. Can't compete and stay profitable with Chinese price war in the global market, so better off pivoting to new markets like robotics and AI that promote the main goal of Mars.

    Roadster battery pack (150 kWh) and drive unit - open look

    I was just wondering if you have a source for the battery capacity at 150kWh as that would mean the 300mile range uses 500Wh/mile, so more than a cybertruck? I'd have thought that this car (in cruise mode without downforce add on active) would be just as slippery as a M3, so around 250Wh/km...

    Tesla Roadster - Technical discussion - How did they do the demo?

    Hagerty and Top Gear have some more technical detail videos: Some extra points: 200l air tank on Thruster model, 600l on Rocket one seater - so flight is obviously limited to that model. Thrusters are left/right side to modulate for yaw control (otherwise you'd launch off the road). Air...

    Tesla Roadster - Technical discussion - How did they do the demo?

    It's been a while since I've posted online on Tesla forums, but hey there's finally some new Tesla tech to talk about! :D The intention of this thread is not to talk about if it's real, rather to talk about how they did the Tesla Roadster demo, and how the systems work/could work. There are...

    Mars Aeroblade: The World's Slimmest Rooftop Tent

    I was just wondering if you have done any CFD to compare the aerodynamics of Aeroblade tent when it is mounted on the CT? Disruption of the laminar flow down the back would likely create more drag than just a simple frontal area model as shown. It's highly likely a enclosed cap with integrated...

    Now I'm allowed to have more range because I need it?:eek: The sky must be falling!! :ROFLMAO:

    Model Y Refresh (Juniper) Revealed

    I think you are fundamentally wrong. This might be closer to what its like in the USA, but not the rest of the world. Our state is being actively de-networked, because remote off grid PV systems are being installed instead, because they cost less to run than maintaining the network they...

    I think ICE doesn't need the 48V as much as a EV does. Air Conditioners, hydraulics, pumps and alternators all run happily from a fan belt, they also don't need heating circuits etc. The point is that on a EV 48V makes more sense, and is within reason of the power requirements of large onboard...

    If so then it was SBW that broke it because it needed so much power, along with RWS. CT still has 12V as well btw.

    I think you missed the fight regarding EM sentiment in California, it's simply the case of market saturation there that has seen the collapse in sales. Like everyone drives one there when we visited. Also Tesla's seem to last, and the used market is healthy, which means entry into MY/M3 is...

    I mentioned this previously as well, that Tesla needs a better feedback loop from users, rather than be only dictated design mandates from the head honcho who isn't much of a "user" of his products any more. This follows on to more range (which you can have without more weight and improves...

    Maybe you missed my post about bidirectional being enabled on every Tesla this year seeing the hardware is already built in? https://www.cybertruckownersclub.com/forum/threads/model-y-refresh-juniper-revealed.34180/post-30471690 The Powerwall combo is not as great a combo as it at first seems...

    Because theres more to life than just CT? At least for those where its not available yet! ;)

    For me in AU with the M3P range is most definitely an issue. Non-tesla DC charging is some 200miles apart, which in our case means we're using a flaky 45kW charger half way to make it to the first SC. Theres only seven SCs in the state and its the size of western Europe or 4x that of Texas. In...

    Yep thats another variation. Apparently EM didn't think adding it would be "useful" if you didn't have a Powerwall at home to power it, when your car isn't home... Good way to get you to buy more Tesla products I suppose. :p But now many other EVs have it, and it's becoming a selling point...

    Model Y Refresh (Juniper) Revealed

    From what I've heard Tesla will be enabling bidirectional on all models, including existing models that nearly all already have the hardware installed. This has had some discussion over the years, the built in chargers in Teslas is a H-bridge inverter which can be switched with the right...

    I likey like. Front is much better, rear a bit, could of squared it up more, but side profile is nearly the same. I want a van with real 400mile and 200kWh pack please. Our non-SC chargers are 150 mile apart and with the middle one of the three we only get 50kW DC and when it goes down we're...
