The Tesla Model 3 Thread

Interesting. I have wondered if EV's make good police vehicles. I think chasing a criminal and running out of juice, would be a deal breaker.
Wait mr bad guy, I need to fill up with petrol!
 
Fast charging won't degrade your EV battery faster, extensive study finds

Recurrent Auto just published research on fast charging and how it affects battery health in the long run. And the short version is this - fast charging doesn't seem to impact battery health at all.

Admittedly, the research only involves Tesla cars - Model 3 and Model Y. However, the data is collected from 12,500 vehicles, so we can have a lot of confidence in the conclusions.

Recurrent compared the battery health of vehicles that used fast charging at least 90% of the time and vehicles that used it in less than 10% of the time. And as it turns out, the two groups have no statistical difference.


 
Tesla Model 3 Highland spotted on the road once again, this time in Germany

It seems like the Tesla Model 3 facelift, also known as Project Highland, is right on track for the rumored September release. Some pre-production vehicles have been spotted all around the world and more recently in China.

A few days ago, though, one was spotted on Germany's Autobahn with a full camo and number plates indicating that this is indeed a finalized vehicle. The license plates it uses are issued to a workshop, dealer or manufacturer.


 
Buttons for indicators? No likey
Same. It's fine for LA, but not in a country where we have roundabouts instead of traffic lights.

That said, I never liked the nose on the Model3...this one looks good.
