So I own a Model 3 P , a year of ownership, 25000 kms done.
Like everyone at the begining i was worrying on max range displayed, and how it was going down.
So I decided to gather data overtime to sort it out a little, and it seems that there could be a huge difference in max SOC displayed due to outside temperature, battery temperature. current SOC... and so on.
I think it might help new owners, and convince them to switch to % :-)
About the data : sometimes the max SOC is 500 km, so 311 miles , and can be seen on my car as low as 231 miles too... We can see clear ..read more

Found an article on Forbes from 2015 already stating at that time that as long as people are buying and driving cars, Teslas are excellent choices regarding carbon emissions.
The article refers to a detail study comparing for example an average midsize midrange BEV with an average midsize gasoline-powered car : it takes just 4,900 miles of driving to “pay back” !!
A very good summary is provided with this chart :
Lets talk about numbers:
1- manufacturing of a full-sized Tesla Model S rear-wheel drive car with an 85 KWH battery was equivalent to ..read more

--> Panasonic said it increases the energy density of cells by 5% ,output by 10%.
These new cells are still 2170 battery cells and not the new 4680 cells developed by Tesla.
and unveiled at Battery Day in September. Although, they could benefit from some chemistry improvements developed by Tesla for its new cell format.

A good reason to buy an EV : ICE vs EV cleanliness
CO2 emmited in the entire lifecycle of a vehicle ( produce it, use it during 150000Km)
ICE : 46 tons
EV : 26 tons Source
NOx emitted when driving these cars for 150000km
ICE : 75 tons
EV : 0 tons   ..read more

Musk announced a series of advances, and these are realistic goals and incremental improvements in the individual components and processes, that will yield to :
--> a 54 percent increase in range
--> a 56 percent decrease in the dollar per kilowatt-hour pack price
--> a 69 percent decrease in capital investment required for manufacturing.
All these can surely enable Tesla to make a $25,000 electric vehicle in three years.
The first change is done right now with a much thicker cell form factor, the 4680. The new tab less design simplifies manufacturing, impro ..read more

Energy is lost when charging, but lets have a look at this very informative data from youtuber b.Nyland.
It is very clear that charging at 7kw is the most effiscient.
This is the one I have at home, a Schneider EVlink Wallmounted 7KW charger.
