Tesla's Is Saving The EV Industry | Here's The Proof

[@johnd01]

I have 20,000 road-trip miles in 30 Western states. The supercharger network and FSD are the main reasons for buying a Tesla. There is plenty of charging capacity in the areas I have been. However, less than 25% of the chargers are utilized most of the time.

[@johnd01]

Bigger batteries contribute to longer charging times. I charge my Model Y LR frequently by running the bottom part of the battery. That way, charging times are from 15 to 20 minutes, with a lot more 15s than 20s. When the car says it can get to the next charger with 10% left, I go.

[@wj9494]

This is a great strategy as long as you can stay in a charging corridor, I have also done about 20k miles in BEV’s in the last 10 years, and I have had big issues changing in rural areas (ID, MT, WY, UT, NV, TX, AZ) as well as getting

Other manufactures are already on to this and don't have to make one car all things to all people. Consumer demand will ultimately determine what that "choice set" looks like as the user patterns change once people recover from gasoline addiction.

[@Ryan-ff2db]

Bigger batteries generally charge faster but they can take longer since there's more to charge. Zeeker already has a 5.5c battery in their vehicles that charges 310+ miles in 12 minutes. The GM/CATL partnership has developed an even faster 6c that can do the same in roughly 10.5 minutes, due early next year, which is just a few months away.

[@johnd01]

@@Ryan-ff2db For my car, 310 miles is about 100 kWH, so to do that in 12 minutes would require an average 500 kW charge. If you take charging taper into account, it could take as much as a Megawatt charger. If you are working with an 800-volt battery, you would need a peak current of 1,250 amps and twice that for a 400-volt system. I hope you have some big busbars in your battery pack.

[@Ryan-ff2db]

@@johnd01 Or a better charging curve. Zeeker has an average of 390 kwh with a 560 peak. The GM/CATL battery is a 900 volt battery, which will help but the max rating for a Tesla cable is currently 615 amps@1,000 volts. That's a theoretical max of 615kwh. We are moving in the right direction.

Obviously growth will slow down lol. If an industry goes from selling say 100 units on year one to 200 units on year two, we are talking about a 100% increase. If they sell 100 more units on the third year, aka 300 units total, the growth for that year is going to say 50%, even though the number of unit increase is the exact same. In addition, the more people get EVs, the less people are in need of EVs. That's called market saturation. It's a natural way for a market to evolve.

It was elon who said 50% growth. On several occasions. And the fans were convinced it could happen.

@@johnd01 Tesla is not a standard, they have committed to operate as J3400 - J3400 is the official NA standard for all CPO's in 2024. Tesla vehicles that are pre-2022 are not able to use the J3400 standard without a hardware upgrade to the charge port controller, tesla does not offer that as a free service. The tesla SCN v3 sites are CCS compatible and in the future those non-v2 sites will drop support for the proprietary tesla charger protocol and only communicate via CCS as they are converted to J3400 compliance. I agree the money including tesla's will go to the standardized J3400 charger depensors. The SCN v2 sites will have very little use as time moves on and likely be dropped. The move towards the NACS physical plug is not the problem it is that the CCS communication protocol was adopted into the J3400 standard since tesla chose to abandon its own proprietary communication protocol that it used up into 2022.

[@wj9494]

I see two large issues, one is local electric supply, there is usually very little extra electricity, because overbuilding costs ratepayers more money. The second is that the station owner wants to make money, and putting in 12 rarely used chargers in Kalispell MT, will not net the owner as much cash as 4 chargers in downtown San Francisco that have a 90% occupancy rate. I don’t know the best way to address these issues, but they will have to be addressed.

[@wj9494]

I agree that cost is probably the biggest issue with BEV’s, but it’s not the only one, range, battery life, time changing, time waiting for a charger, broken chargers, camping at chargers, general charger availability in rural areas, no queue system at any charging station, complicated planning to make road trips (this is a huge problem for me). There are other issues as well, the best use case is for local daily commuters who can charge at home, so anyone who doesn’t fit in this scenario will have issues.

18:30 - the only way robotaxi will reduce the number of cars on the road is if they pickup more than one person for each trip. The number of PEOPLE that need to commute is only going to increase, so the rumored 2-seater is not going to solve the rush-hour traffic. Supply & demand of any taxi is also going to be an issue as most people need to get to work and leave from work around the same time. Lastly, Tesla better offer to FULLY cover the insurance to use my car as a taxi. I know, “opt-in”, but no one is going to do it if it doesn’t even cover the extra cost of insurance - if you don’t disclose to your insurance company that you are using your car as a taxi, they can refuse coverage, ESPECIALLY if they are being used autonomously.

I think people are a bit in denial about CyberTruck which did not help Tesla which was supposed to be $40k but turned out to be closer to $100k.... That said, if Tesla can lower prices of its current Models and then release a more mainstream car for $20-25k, it will have a path for high growth in EV sales. Not everyone can afford $35k+ cars....

[@mikefas5406]

Respectfully disagree. 80 percent of people are buying cars that are 35k+.

The cheap cybertruck hasn't been released im pretty sure is coming

[@richb2229]

You really misunderstand the CT. In August, CT sales surpassed the FORD Electric Mustang, at twice the price. The Foundation Series CT sales have been extended to maximize profits by Tesla. There will be a lower cost version as COGS are reduced by volume production. The CT has an amazing future and will become the number 1 truck.

Releasing model 3 facelift and not being ready with model y facelift was a big flop. And not listening to the customers regarding the stalks is even a bigger flop.

[@kungfoochicken08]

Stalks really aren’t a big deal. It’s a bit like the yoke. Everyone was up in arms about it, and then you drive it and you’re used to it in 30 minutes. One-pedal driving was the same way.

Tesla's market share is still over 50%. As so many other automakers come out with new EV models, you would expect Tesla's market share to drop, but unless the other companies can build a better car in large numbers and at a lower price, Tesla will still be the dominant player for quite some time.

[@Trashed20659]

In a way, EVs are victims of their own success. the vast majority of owners say they would never switch back to ICE, and that the next car purchase will also likely be an EV. But with EVs being so reliable and low maintenance, when exactly will that be? Probably not any time soon. And with all this nonsense reporting and politicization about them, owners are likely to want to keep what they have as long as possible for fear of not being able to get another (Ed Begely, Jr. begged GM to let him keep his EV1 back in the 1990's). Less turnaround means lower sales from the dedicated market, but there is still a lot of room to grow, and we are still not at the next big tipping point.

[@FractalPrism.]

the battery is what sucks how to lose range: accelerating fast (2% per launch), sitting idle overnight (10% per day), using ac/music/windows/anything, a car full of people, hauling lots of stuff, towing, cold weather the car permanently loses max total range every single time you charge it, so over time your "326 range EPA" becomes "200 real world"

[@ryanevans2655]

I can assure you it is not a 10% per day loss. It’s not even a 1% loss if you don’t have something like Tesla’s sentry mode on 24/7. Degradation is roughly 10% after 100,000 miles, not 60%, and then flattens out after 100,000. Meaning your 326-mile range car gets 290 miles after 100,000 miles on it, and loses significantly less than that between mile 100,000 and mile 200,000.

[@kungfoochicken08]

I have a 2015 P90D with 230k miles on the original battery that still gets 185 miles of its original 255 mile range. It does 0-60 in 3.1 seconds, so I’ve ran the hell out of it. The batteries aren’t the weak spot. After 230k miles, it still rides like new. The only impact that battery degradation has on the car is that I have to stop a little more frequently on road trips. I go on maybe 2 road trips a year anyway, and we almost always take my wife’s Model X anyway. The real weakness with the batteries is the risk that you get in the car one morning and it notifies you that you have to replace the $15k battery pack because the BMS detected a single faulty cell. The newer packs are very reliable and they’re rated for 300-500k miles. If the pack in my Model S went out, I’d probably fork out the money to do it, even though I could get another Model S with fewer miles for roughly the cost of the battery pack.

[@harriettanthony7352]

@@ryanevans2655 Your correct, OP. Example, this writers 2019 Kia Niro BEV was rated for 275 miles. I just charged it to 100% the other day. At 'full' the gage read 300 miles!

[@evolv.e]

Our 2014 Model S has been almost exclusively supercharged for the past decade and still retains 90% of its original SOC, even at 172k miles. Same is true for the two decade-old EV’s my children drive. Zero battery issues. Motortrend did a study and found the average EV’s battery should last 20 years.

[@FractalPrism.]

@@ryanevans2655 i have the tesla app, there is a model 3 parked in my driveway, i am watching the car for someone, the car lost 10% battery on the first day, on the second it has lost 8%, i assume it will decrease the daily loss as the battery loses charge, eg tonight it will likely lose 7.25% and so on, yes sentry mode is on the 2023 model y (my other friend has one) claims to have 326 range, does not get 290miles, its 252 but only in hot weather, in cold weather is as bad as 121, hot weather towing is 120 range the battery isnt 'full' either depending on battery type, you're not supposed to charge it above 80% (or 90% depending which year), or allow it to go below 20% "to preserve the health of the battery." so that 252 range just lost another 30/40% and this is without using ac etc. the tesla claimed range is simply not real world, just cut the EPA "estimate" in half and you're close to reality

Would be nice if you didn't focus on Tesla SO much, Ryan. Yes, Tesla leads the EV market but, there are many manufacturers making equally great EV's, and some, even better. I predict Tesla will retain a 10-15% EV market share in the next 10-15 years, as GM, Ford, and other EV makers, expand their product lines and mature their products to match and exceed Tesla.

[@joecushman6030]

When legacy automakers have a chance to bring out a new EV product often it is subpar. Example is the new Equinox, no frunk, no over the air updates, base model has poor range, no NAC connector, only has 135kw of charging speed. The longer range models are at the same price point as a Tesla so why buy it, maybe brand loyalty.
