Das sehe ich komplett anders. Es gibt wenige … eigentlich keine Autos … die aktueller am Markt als das Tesla Model S sind.

After an unscheduled hiatus the Dogs return! RJ updates us on his home water situation, and as a result Episode 57 sees a wide range of plumbing opinion, advice, and information. It’s riveting. I mean come on, it’s handy guy stuff! We also look into a Neil Young concert RJ attended, more Tales from the Shuttle, KJ’s favourite Cominco year (doesn’t everyone have one of these?), some fun news items, and even local politics. To top it all off we get to hear RJ use the expression “giddily excited” with only minimal irony—worth the price of admission by itself.Links: Shed Dogs; hand-carved throne, on sale for past six years, finally sells; giving Mom a ride in a P85D.

It's official: the Tesla Model S P85D "broke" Consumer Reports' ratings scale. We explain why the P85D earned this distinction, and how we ultimately scored it a 100. As we discuss though, that doesn't mean the P85D is the perfect car. For starters, there's the matter of its $127,820 price tag.

不论是特斯拉还是小牛都受到续航里程的困扰,以P85D这个百万级的车来说,官方标491公里巡航,实际道路最短只有290公里,最长有607公里。所以纯电动车的续航是一个受N多因素强烈影响的数值。这期节目我们就逐个分析一下其中什么最重要。

Any of you that have used a Supercharger will know that the cables are very thick, heavy and inflexible. At the Palo Alto Supercharger, Tesla has just introduced liquid cooling to the cable, which means it can be much thinner, lighter and more flexible. Check out this short video I shot while I was at the Palo Alto Supercharger.

Two Ford F-150s were purchased for our test fleet, one with the familiar 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 and the other with Ford's new 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6. Acceleration results from our test track proved surprising. Less surprising were the fuel economy numbers from the lightweight aluminium-bodied truck; we put those into perspective. In other news, our Tesla Model S P85D suffers an early malfunction, highlighting Tesla's customer service. We then reach deep into the mailbag, answering a variety of inquiries. Vehicle collaborations that were reliable, comparing the VW GTI to the Golf R, Acura ILX hate mail, sporty small SUVs, and the forgotten Mazda CX-9 are all discussed.

Join Nick Howe, author of Owning Model S, to catch up on the latest Tesla News. A couple of weeks ago Elon Musk hit the stage at the Hawthorne design center to announce Tesla Energy. In this episode of NFTF I break down the announcement.
Join Nick Howe, author of Owning Model S, to catch up on the latest Tesla News. In this episode I discuss the new Model S 70D, improvements to performance of the 85D and P85D, and changes to options and pricing.
1. The first story we ranted about was the story of a Kia dealer in Vancouver who very blatantly pushed away a customer who was looking to buy a Kia Soul EV. The story is a really absurd one, but it's also a good demonstration for why Tesla doesn't trust dealers to sell electric cars. 2. That led us into a future in which we can simply skip the sketchy dealers and buy our cars online. Sure, galleries and test drives are still a must, but there's a lot of benefit to purchasing online. Aside from Tesla, one car company bringing us into that future is BMW. The news is that BMW is now selling its i3 on Amazon Japan. 3. Another interesting BMW i3 story we decided to discuss was based around recent information from BMW of North America. Basically, while many people think of the i3 and most other electric cars as city cars, the i3 is proving very popular with drivers outside of big cities in Texas, South Florida, etc. This actually matches really well with research I learned about at EVS27 which argued that people living in small cities would benefit from electric cars more than people living in big cities. 4. Then there was this story: 800 HP Zombie 222 Electric Mustang Goes 174 MPH At The Texas Mile. Yes, 800 HP. Yes, 174 MPH. Yes, the Zombie is back. 5. And a really, really fun one: Chris's test drive of the Tesla Model S P85D. You've got to listen for that one.

I forgot to mention that Elon said they are rolling out LTE connectivity to cars (vs. the current 3G connection), but didn’t provide any details. My assumption is that new cars will have the LTE chipset, but there will be no retrofitting of existing cars.

Join Nick Howe, author of Owning Model S, to catch up on the latest Tesla News. Here’s what I cover today: 1. P85D delays… http://www.teslamotorsclub.com/showthread.php/39409-First-P85D-adopters-stuck-in-black-hole From Jerome Guillen: "Your car was built with some of the first new generation seats. The side airbags built into these specific seats might have some concerns when deploying. As per my previous message, we want to err on the side of caution and we will replace the seats. Since the airbags are sawn inside the seats, the practical way is to replace the seats. Although we assemble the seats locally, we depend on some parts coming from outside suppliers. Lately, the port of Oakland has undergone a succession of problems and we receive shipments randomly and not in the order we are expecting. We are working non-stop to expedite the completion of your Model S. We still intend to deliver your car in 2014, although it might be in the last few days (if not the last few hours). Thank you for your understanding and your patience." and "I realize that some of the earlier P85D customers are getting anxious about the longer production time for their cars. The delays are simply longer on the earlier cars: it takes ten times more labor and time to remove and replace parts from that car than to make it on the production line. We have pulled people from every part of Tesla and hired outside contractors overseen by Tesla personnel to do this. If there was something more we could do, we would do it. Any customer that has suggestions for adding more highly skilled labor to the process should please let us know. We were also just hit by the worst storm in a decade and trouble at the port of Oakland, where containers with parts needed to complete the cars are released on an unpredictable schedule." 2.
