it’s semantics but the profile is the minimum charge, if car is below that it will charge to that level. The “maximum” is set in the departure schedule which is the same as the target.

I'll just give another data point, I used to leave mine plugged in and set to a minimum charge of 40%. I have left it for as long as almost 3 months with no issues.

Read the thread but the TL:DR; is best practice for longevity assuming it meets your range needs is shallow charges not in either extreme, so for example 70-30% range.

Yes had it on Taycan and can see it on I-Pace with panorama roof, its the layers of insulation as per @W1NGE...

Sorry I wasn't clear. I am not at all concerned, I was referring to Tesla and Tesla fans.

Agreed, but I have to say someone is concerned...

Thanks, interesting review. Agree with a lot of it, he did make a couple of mistakes right off the bat but minor. I am not sure sure the Turbo S would "smoke" the RS ETron, it would definitely beat it on a straight line drag race. But outside of launch control drag race they should be relatively...

You shouldn't have to at all. Its not you, its the Tesla "fans" and "trolls" that regularly show up to other EV forums and try to preach the cult of Tesla. They have poisoned the well more than they realize and created a toxic environment when someone mentions Tesla. I don't think they realize...

@nwills I noticed this after a major update also, that the drive now showed mostly rear bias. But I did not notice a drop in the range that I was getting. So it may be that looking at the data the front wheel bias did not provide much benefit and changed the driving dynamics. Keep in mind the...

Interesting assuming nothing was on driver display about collision, conditions, etc? No messages?

Well technically the "energy" stored that will be used in the electrons moving around DOES have mass. But if you use E=MC^2 and work backwards the mass=E/(C^2). So technically yes it weights more, but I am not sure if we have precise enough instruments to measure the increase in mass...

It means like most things now someone makes up stories out of whole cloth, spreads lies, then someone else "reports" that they said that and people assume its true.

Great point. To be optimistic maybe if we have the stations available, and they are at full capacity, that my encourage adding more and more capacity to get more income. One of the difficult traps in building these stations is the chicken and egg issue. It doesn't pay to build a station even...

From the funding in new infrastructure bill we may finally get much better coverage on major highways. In my opinion this should have been done ten years ago to enable EV sales here, but better late than never. Now let’s see how fast they actually do it And hopefully they support AT LEAST 150 KW...

Yup had it all the time, was annoying.

I am not at all picking on your post, but I want to illustrate some things if its ok. First the 12v battery has nothing to do with the traction battery. If you have any experience with EVs for reasons even engineers shake their heads at NO manufacturer seems to get charging the 12v battery...

The ridiculous logic used in some of these posts, and the paranoid/conspiracy biased commentary is either: 1) purposeful and FUD, or 2) ignorant whether on purpose or not. So let's stop feeding the garbage posts.

One thing you can try (one of the eight standard "EA dances as I like to call them") is to call EA when you are at the 350 KW charger, tell them it is faulting. Have them remotely reset it. Watch it do a reset. Then try charging. That has a 50% chance of working IF the moon is in the right phase...

I have owned 9 EVs and the only one that melted it’s battery and almost caught fire was the original Tesla Roadster. That car was a pioneer and really a kit car with the first iterations of large numbers of lithium ion cells. all EVs have come a long ways since then and have elaborate battery...

Some real information below: In all LiIon battery multi cell designs do what is called overcharge protection, "cell balancing" to adjust for cells charging at slightly different rates. This has always been true, and it NOT a fire hazard. If a cell in a group is ever much lower than others it...
