Uhm. The Model S is only a few inches shorter....

So slow!

So many exposed high voltage wires! Yikes! The danger!

Because the same port is used for both high-current (DC) and low-current (AC) charging.

I think the light changes to red when it detects an over height truck. That could be why the cab ran the red too.

It’s likely traction limited for a good portion of the run. He needs to run with some light weight wheels and four slicks!

12V powers all the computers, etc, on the car. It needs to be there to do safety checks and then power on the high voltage battery relays. Those are off when the car is off for safety.

Just two tenths faster? Surprising. I think I’ll keep the interior.

Wait, what? You can’t use it if you wear sunglasses?? That makes it pretty useless. I drive 95% of the time with sunglasses.

We’ve done this in the Model S while camping in South Carolina when it was hot. We’ve put an air mattress in the back with the seats folded down.

I use public chargers all the time in NC. They are almost always open. I don’t really even need them, since with 200+ mile range and home charging the car is always charged. But, I’ll take the free electricity.

Nailed it.

You’re fixing a need that doesn’t exist. You don’t need as many chargers as gas pumps. Gas pumps serve local owners AND travelers. EV drivers charge up at home. I only hit up superchargers when I am traveling more than 250 miles in one day. That’s not very often! Once every few months, maybe.

How old is this video? Still winter?

No, the current AP1 and likely AP2 does not read tail lights. It looks at radar, ultrasound and the camera to identify cars and figure out how far away they are. It will slow down if someone cuts in front of you on the highway, but not likely this quickly.

Close enough! I own a Tesla Roadster. Also applies!

The amount of time it takes to charge is meaningless. It always charges overnight, every night. You start every day with a full “tank”. It only matters when you drive more than 300 miles in a day.

Looks good. Looks like a smaller S! I bet most people will think it is an S, which is what they were going for.

My 2004 Dodge Neon SRT4 has a high octane mode from the Dodge Stage 2/3 kit. Same idea, knock sensor detects when the octane isn’t high enough and kicks you out. When it is engaged, it ramps up timing to make ~50 more HP. Not bad. Also, when running on E85 you can typically get away with the high octane mode as well,…

Yup. Stupid. All Model S and X vehicles already have the sensors he’s talking about.
