Does anyone have the torque values for the bolts on the plastic brackets that compress the battery modules and the bolts that secure the...
As far as I understand it, both the green and white stickers expire in 2019, and possibly before then if the reauthorization isn't granted by the...
I'm switching my guessometer to catalyst temp, probably the 2nd reading. I haven't confirmed this, but if I'm remembering my downhills right, I...
As long as you can stay in "eco" up the hill, efficiency will be more or less the same. The more you have to rev the engine, the more power goes...
I was able to see it doing this a few times this weekend, and I think it's kicking on the engine to soak up some of the regen. Can you see battery...
In practice, yes. In reality, there's a good chance Tesla will hit the 200k tax credit limit near the launch of the M3. If history and their...
Those taillights are so much better looking than the ones on the non-plug-in.
I can see the inverter coolant pump going out b/c that was a recalled part... Prius Inverter Water Pump Recall C0U - Details for Owners - Luscious...
Yeah, it's been my guess that the engine coming on is based on some HVAC temperature setting, especially since I can turn off the HVAC with the...
I'll double check, but I seem to remember this happening. It could be coincidence too. The next time I steal the wife's car for a long drive I...
I'm remembering this right, the engine will kick on based on what the last HVAC temp setting was. If it's set to 70, even if HVAC is off, it'll...
not cool. Double Shotgun! ^ Haha! Well done. ^ Back on topic, the I'm thinking the efficiency improvements are or could be due to... Better LRR...
Haha, yeah. Most of the published 0-60 times are blended too though, and being off by that much is kind of annoying.
I'm going to necrobump this thread because I've found what seems to be good info on plug-in versus normal 0-60 times. When reading reviews, times...
Capacity loss usually isn't linear. Page 7 has a good breakdown of how most pip batteries will likely degrade....
Apparently they're right, but they didn't provide enough context, eg it doesn't apply to new EVs. It's for a conversion from a diesel or gas...
Now that's a good mechanic.
Or faster in N. There are some pretty beefy golf carts out there though, so YMMV.
Yup. On page 10 of the report (20 of the pdf), the sales weighted average of all cars is .33kWh/mile, and the Volt is .35kWh/mile....
Table 3 places the efficiency (wh/mile) rating of the Volt above the sales-weighted average of all PEVs. If you were to remove the Volt from that...
