So whats the longest distance travelled in one day by one driver in a Telsa ?
Was 27.5 hours to be exact.How many charge sessions ?..8, 9, ??
How long on charge in total ?
I hope they didnt charge you extra for that 25th hour !
These cars are so good that it makes the flaws really stand out. I have quite a list of things that should not be wrong.I might as well start complaining about this car which BTW is amazingly well sorted for a virtually new product from a startup automotive manufacturer.
I agree. My other complaint about cruise is that it is twitchy. It is trying far to hard to hold a given speed. You can feel it constantly trying to match the set speed. You can see it hunting on the kW display.Firstly the most important issue is the cruise control.
The CC uses too much throttle / power resuming its preset speed after being held up by a slower car, ie its too lead footed and inefficient. It should be limited to 50kW but I have seen it sometimes use up to 125kW. Also cant rmbr seeing a Power / Economy setting.
This one I never had a problem with. If you want to turn off the the cooling you hit the AUTO setting tab just above the Climate Control on/off control and a pop up will appear allowing you to control individual aspects of the climate control system. You can turn off just the cooling which of course dries the air to prevent the windows from fogging. When it is really cold (below freezing) and you have range mode selected it will get cold. Tesla seems afraid of running the fan fast enough. When really cold I force it to recirculate the air and turn up the fan speed. If the windows start to fog then I switch to fresh air for a minute. Range mode limits the heater output and I think it almost completely disables the battery pack heating loop. I didn't go on any long trips when it was that cold, 140 miles each way was longest. So all I did was supercharge a little extra and not use range mode. Then I manually set the fan speed up more than what the auto settings do. This seems to keep it comfortable even at 80 mph (129 kph) which is legal here on the interstate highway in many of the western states.Next is Climate Control
There is a switch called A/C (on / off) This is actually for the Climate Control which incorporates the heater.
Traditional automotive language which we are all used to defines A/C as cooling only. So the problem here is if its freezing cold outside you are trying to save energy and you go looking through the settings pages and see A/C ON you think shit, better switch that off to save energy but then suddenly the heater doesnt work any more ???
So the A/C switch should be renamed Climate Control. This gives the average motorist a better idea that this switch also has something to do with the heater. When designing a vehicle you should make it possible for a person to get in and drive it without needing special training.
Weird one and I noticed this but I don't think I have used the map light often enough for it to bother me. My dome/map light complaint is that the LED's chosen are too blue (cool white). I have been told they switched to a warm white LED on the later cars.Third is the dome / map light. This is a micro complaint and just an annoyance. When switching the map light off there is a delay. Your hand is almost back on the steering wheel before the light actually goes out.
This distracts you from driving for a second as you think why didnt the light go out when I switched it off ??? then it goes out just as you start thinking about lifting your hand up there again to switch it off again. Its an engineered delay and should not exist.
LOL oh no its dark, wheres the steering wheel...shit shit shitIf the dome light delay is intentional, I would assume it is supposed to be a 'safety precaution' so you can put your hand back on the steering wheel while you can still see it.
