Strong deductive reasoning, although I could see myself justifying the sunglasses just to prove that knowing what your talking about is badass. Especially if I could pull it off as well as this guy does. Also, he also likely memorizes at least some lines where there is too great a distance between subject and camera for most teleprompters to work. if it's just flashing 1-3 words, that can be hard to sound natural like he does. Those are the ones that work from a great enough distance for that exterior downward yaw shot for instance. Important to note, while at times he looks off frame, there are significant periods where he does not. While I did not have the best lighting conditions, I looked for a sideways reflection of a teleprompter and saw none. Some teleprompters are fairly low light though, and hiding it in the shadow may have been sufficient.

[@sbrazenor2]

The best review of a car you can get comes from an honest mechanic. Salesmen wouldn't tell the truth and car reviewers usually look at new cars or quirky cars, but they don't consider the long-term ownership. For those of us who prefer buying a car once a decade (or less), we want to have some confidence that it won't become an expensive basket case within that time. I'd rather, in fact, be able to sell or give away a car with a lot of life left in it - so the next owner doesn't get burned on it. I would feel bad selling a car that's near the end of life on a $20K component. (Even $5k is outside a lot of people's means.)

I have the same car, 2013 p85. First drive unit replaced at 47k in 2012. Have 15k miles on this one. I'm out of warranty now. I am contemplating replacing the p85 motor w/ the smaller s60 rear drive units - they appear to be much more reliable. Will be looking at a company like gruber to do it. Did you have coolant leakage, or what was the failure problem with yours? I have a feeling the fluid (atf & coolant) might need to be changed at a schedule of more like 15-20k miles instead of 50k. I wonder what Gruber knows about this. Rich Rebuilds replaced his p85 motor w/ a small rear drive motor for $4k.

I'm looking forward to seeing battery pack repair options as the growing number of Teslas on the road begin to age. Battery repair is going to be crucial for the used EV market to be sustainable.

[@teropiispala2576]

If there are just a failure in electric cirquit or few damaged cells, the battery can be repaired. That is not going to be very common. Typically cells age evenly especially when temperature management is good. The daisy chain failure which was mentioned in the video means that practically all cells have aged into level where they can't operate properly. When used right, a pack can withstand a lots of miles especially if they are driven over short period of time. If the car is closing 20 year age, it becomes more important what have been average charge level or temperature during the storage. Batteries like to be in 50% charge level and stored in a cool place. Hot is generally bad since it accelerates unwanted chemical reactions.

With an inclination of roughly 1 degree to the ecliptic plane, compared to Mars' 1.85° inclination, this trajectory by design cannot intercept Mars, so the car will neither fly by Mars nor enter an orbit around Mars.

If this video highlights one thing, there is almost no private EV servicing/engineering shops out there. Certainly a big opportunity to be a pioneer. Secondly also shows how quickly EV's will depreciate towards the end of the battery pack life. The lifespan of battery packs will probably set the depreciation rate.

As an automation engineer I found this video informative, accurate, unbiased, and well presented. I agree with the conclusions and see a market for cell repairs to keep these EVs in operation for the next generation of owners in the lower economic bracket, who undoubtedly will constitute the largest portion of owners in the coming years. With regard to release of the first Tesla roadsters it is essential they were released early as this expedites engineering quality loop feedback and accelerated improvement. In theory, no car or product is perfect when first to market, however Tesla has implemented firmware as you stated and improvements can now be made "on the fly". I admire your set-up and dedication to providing a comprehensive and reliable solution to the aging EV challenges.

[@huskypup3489]

Good video. I believe Tesla battery packs will only become more difficult to repair in the newer models. Like Apple has done with its batteries, Tesla is moving toward tighter integration of the battery with the rest of the vehicle in order to improve range and reduce initial cost, with repairability sacrificed in the process. I foresee many of these packs ending up being shipped to third world countries where 12 year old boys will pick through them and harvest the recyclable materials. Not good.

[@jims8887]

I agree it depends on Tesla's management goals, how long a life expectancy the vehicle should have, versus the customer having to buy a new one. So yeah, greed will create disposable cars. Maybe the factory will offer a recycling program.

[@Nicksperiments]

It depends what angle they want to play. I think their main goal is to reduce defective cells in the first place rather than needing a battery replacement. But I think if EVs are going to become sustainable, the only way is if the batteries are easily replaceable. Luckily Elon is a bit more in touch with the user than Apple CEOs so I think once EV’s start to really become common, this will happen
