I like how it disconnects the battery at 10:30 to prevent further damage to the HV battery and then tries to conserve 12 volt power by dimming the screen and shutting off other things (as shown by the OBD dongle). It shows how this is a designed and controlled scenario.

@@wojciechkruzel6569 There is an emergency cable at the hole for the tow pin. You energize this with a 12V charger or battery and voila: The frunk pops open and you can access the 12V battery. Older Model S have two terminals behind the nose cone connected to the 12V battery (via 40A fuse) und a pull cable to open the frunk.

With my Model S85 years ago I tried to be cool and planned to arrive at the SuC Senlis (France, our way to Paris) with 3%. Stupid me chose the wrong toll lane exit, my GF gave me the look because she told me that i am wrong. "Naah, we areOK" So, wrong exit, had to go 30km loop, then stupid me took another wrong exit, I just ignored the nav. So another 3km detour. GF gave me the look again :-( But we made it to the SuC with no problem. Never ran out of juice in 8 years EVs and 270tkm total. Even tough I tried ;-)

[@lucamig5724]

Assuming 3% ~= 12km (?) That is a 33-12 = 21km buffer on an old battery... That's nice

[@Anthroplast]

I arrived on a trip to Germany with 1% at the SuC because I was driving too fast on the Autobahn, to my surprise even at 2% I didn't get any power reduction dots on the display. I floored it when I saw the chargers and it felt like no power reduction. It dropped to 1% then (and my wife gave me also that look :o) Anyway, still don't know why and how that happened but it was a magical thing. Now I aim for 5% just to keep it on the safe side as I'm also good at taking wrong exits

LFP Battery: Hi Björn, thank you for the video. Could you please repeat it with a LFP battery and high energy buffer. My M3 sometimes has an energy buffer over 6 kwh. I then leave it under 10% or fully charged for a while ("deep sleep") so that the energy buffer goes back to its normal 2.4 kwh. But it would be very interesting to know whether the high energy buffer can be used. I think the buffer is created by spending longer periods of time in 20-80% SOC. Charging to 100% and driving off immediately does not reset the energy buffer. Thank you and all the best for you and your family.

One importante thing Bjorn that should be shared: Some EV's came with a 16 amp charger without any possible manual configuration. This will trip the solar generator and if you are not able to control the current on the car (not on teslas, since you can do it on the charging menu) you won't be able to charge.

The ecoflow will send the maximum it can, no matter if the car asks for more.

[@ZJasko]

Small correction (great video!) Each 12V auxiliary socket may be loaded with 12A according to TESLA. Consequently, at 12V, you can draw 144W instead of 120W of power from each of the two sockets, for a combined total of 288W. In the short term, 16A is also possible. (TESLA does not mention for how long). It would be interesting to know what power you can really draw from these sockets permanently, is there a warning for too high a power draw, is the warranty void, what power can you draw from both sockets at the same time, is that enough for camping and at what point is an EcoFlow worthwhile, can other EVs provide more power?

Quick maths (13:45) : 2328/143=16.3 So if you took 16 solar panels with you, you could charge even with empty Ecoflow. Anyone care to estimate, how long it would take to fully charge with that setup?

[@szaboaz]

Hmm (21:14), well, if it says 35 minutes remaining with 250 kW, and Ecoflow gave 2.5 kW, then it's 100 times, so... 100 times half an hour is 50 hours. And the Sun gives that power for 10 hours a day, then it would take five days, to fully charge? Is that about right?

[@davidbeppler3032]

It will reach max. temp even faster if you are also charging with solar.

[@ZEFElectric]

@@szaboaz the charging curve at high power chargers is not linear so you cannot calculate the way you describe. However, when you charge at 2,5 KW, the “curve” is flat and the way to calculate the charging time will be to divide the battery capacity by the charging power (after losses). So, let’s say a 70kWh battery, at 2,2 kW will be fully charged in about 32 hours.

[@markyates5744]

Keeping the battery (non LFP) between 20 and 80% is best for long-term health, and keeping it below 10% and above 100% for a short time as possible is best. Whatever you do, don't let it sit at 0% for a long time! It'll self-discharge a bit each day and be being slowly damaged. Leave it a very long time and it might be very badly damaged and not recharge.

[@theswordsmith]

Bjorn thank you for the amazing test! Totally agree being an old Li-Po RC flyer, it’s not that the battery is amazing, so much that the Tesla engineers set a larger power reserve (deeper discharge allowed) in software. You could theoretically drive 60km after 0% (if the engineers would allow) however your poor Tesla batteries would suffer capacity loss, gassing, or death below 2.7v/cell. The smartest thing you did was to recharge immediately upon reaching low voltage. Any person leaving their poor Tesla at -4% discharge overnight or longer, will likely suffer capacity loss. Also, one should be careful in charging an over-discharged battery with max current. I’m actually very surprised the SuperCharger allowed 250Amps while below 0%. Please check your estimated capacity a month after this test and report back if it changed significantly. My gut feeling is that it dropped a little.

[@ErikMeike]

At 17:20 it is really interesting because the car actually heats the battery up like it is supercharging. It looks like the octovalve is heat scavenging from the AC into the battery enough to heat the inlet temperature to >50C, so your using the AC probably didn't affect range much. I wonder if the battery has better characteristics at the higher temperature. Looking at the coolant temperature rise and flow rate, it looks like the battery is getting heated with about 11kw which is consistent with the AC running at full power (about 10kw of heat flow).
