FSD 12.5.2.1 - A perfect drive in the rain

[@MrGMawson2438]

Yay 😆

that's still more efficient than ICE cars..

[@DwightSnow]

You do have the heat pump...

[@DailyTeslaIRL]

True, but that did improve efficiency. A closed system with far less pressurized coolant is much better than a large radiator and coolant by the gallons!

[@meganote]

Actually the Tesla does have a radiator for the cooling system. It’s under the frunk storage at an angle. That’s what those fans are blowing air through. The brakes are hydraulic disc brakes, thus there is brake fluid. There is even oil and filter in the electric motor gearbox, but shouldn’t need service.

From what I am reading, Teslas have cooling systems that do not work like standard radiators via air cooling. It is lower pressure and lower volume closed-system heat exchangers (heat pump). And the friction brakes use electric actuators, not hydraulics. The motors do contain oil (for moving part lubrication as anything like this would do), but, like you said, they should not need service due to the extremely small amounts of debris that should be in the motor.

But thank you for this comment! I am now aware of a few things I didn't know before after looking into it.

sound keeps going off

[@DailyTeslaIRL]

What are the timestamps? I mute audio during fast-forwarded portions, but there is plenty of talking during the rest, unless my upload is bad.

[@MrGMawson2438]

Think I'm used to being in a combustion engine

[@MrGMawson2438]

Spark plugs

12.5.2.1 was horrible, 12.5.4 is way better.

[@DailyTeslaIRL]

I couldn't agree more. But I think they are just working out the bugs from changing the driving stacks to the neural net.
