Future Tesla buyiers guide

 Looking for reasons to buy an EV ?

  1. You get some free supercharging if you place your order  using a referral code ( here is mine if you want  https://www.tesla.com/referral/emmanuel31121   )
  2. You save the planet as EVs emit far less CO2 van ICE
  3. You save money on gas ( using free supercharge as per 1., and because electricity is cheap)
  4. You save on maintenance, as EVs are virtually maintenance free.
  5. EVs last longer than ICE, no engine, rock solid battery.


Now lets get into details: 

  1. Using a refferal code like mine https://www.tesla.com/referral/emmanuel31121, will provide you with 1500 km of free supercharger use.                                                                                                    
  2. EVs emit fat less CO2 van ICE : numbers.

    •  CO2 emmited in the entire lifecycle of a vehicle ( produce & use it during 150000Km)    ICE :  46 tons   /   EV :   26 tons   Source 
    •  NOx emitted when driving these cars for 150000km                                                               ICE : 75 tons    /   EV :  0 tons       Source  
    •  Energy consumed to drive 150000Km (production ,extraction refining, transport.) :     Diesel : 6 tons of CO2   Source  /  Electricity   0,42 tons of CO2   Source 

     3. Savings on gas :here is cost of the energy used to drive 35000km per year, as well as                               the associated service costs ( i am not displaying items like tires, that are  exactly the same):

        Bottom line :  in six years, I save  25000 CHF owning an EV vs an ICE car (range rover evoque).                                                                                                                               

    

     4. Maintenance : as my Tesla rep said: “ no  maintenance at all, just come back in six years for AC”..



     5. EV last longer that ICE : for those worrying about battery life, as per this informative chart I                   gathered from youtuber Like Tesla,  even with the worst charging habits, ( 100-20% ) it takes                  300000 miles to see a 10 % capacity loss. Quite good actually.



Convinced ? Ready to place an order for a Tesla ? Good choice. Feel free to use my refferal to order your Tesla  :  https://www.tesla.com/referral/emmanuel31121

Tesla Battery Day summary :Battery Costs should Drop by Half Within 3 Years

 Musk announced a series of advances, and these are realistic goals and incremental improvements in the individual components and processes, that will yield to :

--> a 54 percent increase in range

--> a 56 percent decrease in the dollar per kilowatt-hour pack price

--> a 69 percent decrease in capital investment required for manufacturing.

 
All these can surely enable Tesla to make a $25,000 electric vehicle in three years.
 
The first change is done right now with a much thicker cell form factor, the 4680. The new tab less design simplifies manufacturing, improves the power-to-weight ratio, and virtually eliminates heat when supercharging: very big charging speed will be seen then. 
This new battery will adds 16 percent range versus Tesla's current battery cells and reduces the cost per kilowatt-hour by 14 percent, and its currently being built in USA.

Besides, they are working on a silicon anode to increase range by 20 percent and lozer costs by 5 percent, and also on a high-nickel cathode that eliminates cobalt, leading to a 15 percent reduction in cost.
 
Great future is at hands!!

What is the most effiscient charging method

 Energy is lost when charging, but lets have a look at this very informative data from youtuber b.Nyland.

It is very clear that charging at 7kw is the most effiscient.

 
 
This is the one I have at home, a Schneider EVlink Wallmounted 7KW charger.
