Garbage article. Tesla does not break out US only sales. And in fact they delivered over 25,000 EV for the first 3 months of 2017. I hope the...
I've yet to find a use for EV-Auto mode. Perhaps Toyota will swap it out to an HV-Auto mode for me instead ? My version of HV-Auto would draw from...
You are correct that the firmware reduces ICE load during the warm-up cycle by pulling from the battery, but there is no way to avoid the fact...
My fretting was over having to pay the warm-up cycle more than once.
We live at 6000+ feet, and go up and over the tail end of the rockies when we drive to a nearby town about 47 miles away. Today was our first...
A reasonable explanation for HV mode, but not for EV mode
I was shopping for other *EVs a couple of months ago and found very attractive lease deals in CA and the Northeast but was shot down by the...
Full sun can be mitigated a lot by facing the car towards where the sun will be in the hour you leave, using a good sun block on the windshield...
And even less efficient in EV mode, which at least to me is surprising* *There are many ways to calculate this but the simplest is to compare...
What is the minimum gas use per episode ?
Other thoughts: 1.Keep the car as cool as possible while parked. Windows cracked open, outside shade, and front windshield sun block help a lot...
If you normally use at least half your SoC to get to work, you are in fine shape for the return trip. Good Luck! p.s., I was thinking about your...
I think you mentioned the underlying rationale earlier of optimizing cost/mile starting from your local electricity and liquid fuel rates. People...
Nice! My Prime is used to drive my 90 mile r/t work commute that is about 80% highway. It takes about one full charge and one gallon for the...
I think a fair guess would be ~ 150 Wh No idea. I'm a peasant with a Prime plus model.
My guess is that your 35 miles of range includes your dip into the HV reserve, and possibly also any charge sent to the battery during the ICE...
Sorry, I don't know what 'designated range' refers to. An 'empty' battery charged to 'full' will have 5.6 kWh of energy available for EV driving....
Yes, that makes pretty good sense: We think the usable battery capacity is 5.6 kWh, so at 6.1 miles per kWh you should have 5.6*6.1 = 34 miles of...
What EV range per full charge does the car report -- say when you leave for work in the morning ?
Yep. In Dalcon's defense though, his motivation is not the score per se but a desire to keep the ICE off in his work commute. The answer in his...
