Some scanners claim they can determine State Of Health (SOH). However, I have read several academic papers on efforts to develop a real SOH test since there is significant money involved in the secondary use of EV batteries. There are many factors inside the battery chemically and physically...

If the dealer titled it, the Federal rebate is gone. Two years without a title?

Interesting review of how it is built. Again, the most expensive part of the vehicle that can't be repaired!!

Not really, there are so many variables concerning your existing system. Best bet is have an electrician come and give you an estimate.

The "motor" is certainly magic, it is wise of the dealer to send it back.

Maybe a year ago there was a total failure of the front motor, where the internals came apart that resulted in a visible hole in the case. This is the only other posting I recall of an internal failure to a motor. I hope your dealer can come thru as they said.

Keep an eye on the cooling bottle to make sure they were able to get all of the air out of the cooling system. Glad to read your report.

The BMS may be trying to save the battery from the driver's actions.

The Mexico built Chinese models will be a real challenge for the Tesla, with upgraded interior, multiple screens, ect ... all with a price below the current price for a 3.

Good analysis. There are many advantages with electric vehicles. Using any truck with 1 ton capacity to drive across the country will cost you regardless of fuel, using a light economical vehicle to drive across the country will save you money, but cost in comfort and safety. Either way if...

The following is taken from an older report of a HPPC test of a pouch similar to ours, but with a different cathode chemistry. We must wait for results of our pouch cells to know if it applies, however it is of interest if you regularly charge to 100% without needing to. Search for...

This exactly, the article describes his problem well. If Walt Disney was still around and put his name on the Model Y, we all would have a different opinion of the car and the manufacturer. Of course, only old guys would even know there was a person called Disney !!

The air dam is on all the models, my Pro does not have front-facing sensors or front camera, but it was an option that I did not choose. There is a good account on mounting a snow plow on this forum. He may fabricate the appropriate 2" receiver too.

Abstract: Twelve-cm2 pouch type lithium-ion cells were assembled with graphite anodes, LiNi0.8Co0.15Al0.05O2 cathodes and 1M LiPF6/EC/DEC electrolyte. These pouch cells were cycled at different depths of discharge (100% and 70% DOD) at room temperature to investigate cycle performance and pulse...

It may not have much to do with the shape of the cycles. The truck battery cathode uses 90 percent nickel, and just 5 percent each of manganese and cobalt. I don't know the actual lithium ion used in our cathodes, but these tests results are very interesting discovered thru HPPC testing: The...

Interesting and disappointing.

MickeyAO has sent me off on quite a bit of reading. It has become a puzzle.... I am struggling to understand what I am reading. But it is obvious why he can't spell it out. I think the shape of the recovery pulses are the important aspect of the HPPC process. There must be thousands of...

Ford predicted "less than 4% of the affected vehicle population is expencted to require one or more high voltage battery modules needing to be replaced" But, Ford also stated: "US population of affected vehicles: 36,611." This also included 2023 trucks too. 4% of 36,611 = 1,464 "expected...

Yes you will use the heat. Even here, I leave it plugged in when I am home, I set a departure, and the cabin is nice and warm before I unplug and leave the garage. Of course I am an old guy who likes to be warm. I agree with the 120 miles in winter, and you will have 160 summer miles while...
