      Two Bit da Vinci Pretty much spot on. But did you mention that the rear motor can be used in waste heat mode to heat up the car really well, especially start ups for the days beside software preconditioning/predictions.

  • @douglasbkerr
    @douglasbkerr 5 років тому +589

    One tiny little quibble: You mentioned that you should cut back on the seat heaters to extend range. Using the seat heaters on an EV uses very little electricity. For that reason, it is suggested that you USE the seat heater and cut back on the cabin temperature. Seat heaters are your friend.

    • @TwoBitDaVinci
      @TwoBitDaVinci  5 років тому +30

      sure this is a bit subjective. The same resistive heating elements are at play in both, so based on number of passengers, and personal preference, do what works for you! I like warm air on my feet

    • @douglasbkerr
      @douglasbkerr 5 років тому +40

      I get it. In the low range days of 75 to 85 miles, people would go to extremes in order to keep warm; blankets and boots were the norm. And thank you for all your hard work. I've owned five EVs since 2013, and around ten fossil cars. My Model 3 is by far the best car I've ever owned.

    • @compu85
      @compu85 5 років тому +38

      The dash heater can draw thousands of watts. The seat heaters are in the low hundreds.

    • @TwoBitDaVinci
      @TwoBitDaVinci  5 років тому +10

      Yeah, you can set the heat to a lower setting, you should factor comfort, preference, and number of occupants. But do what makes the most sense for you, and do some experimenting! We'd love to see the data from anyone who does it!

    • @CubbyTech
      @CubbyTech 5 років тому +17

      Not really - most electric seat heaters use 90-120 watts of electricity. The electric-resistive heaters inside EV's range from 2500 - 6000 watts or more.

    You recommend not running seat heaters, but it's much more energy efficient to run those with reduced cabin temps since the heat is direct to your body, and not dispersed through air in the cabin.

    • @TwoBitDaVinci
      @TwoBitDaVinci  5 років тому +9

      Yeah that is purely up to the user. Seat heaters usually aren’t enough for me. I prefer heat on my feet. But you’re totally right the heater in the seats use less energy than the cabin heater!

    • @larryspiller15
      @larryspiller15 5 років тому

      Seat heaters are fine up to -5/-10°c but colder then that you need the air too. At least my opinion. Maybe you live in a warmer area then myself, maybe not though

      The thing that bothers me a bit is how he calls it "Tesla's battery" all the time, as if Panasonic isn't doing anything. Panasonic makes these batteries in the Gigafactory. They share the Gigafactory, with most of the space being for Panasonic. It's Tesla owned of course, and Tesla is a client for Panasonic, but it doesn't mean that Panasonic can't just get other clients, as well.

    Please, energy density in Wh/kg, not W/kg (power density). How can neophytes understand if everyone makes the mistake? I'm sorry to be aggressive but I'm annoyed everyone makes this mistake, even this pretty good channel! You cannot confuse these units talking about batteries, it's soo disappointing and it's not a small mistake, especially if this video is designed for engineers. *Great video anyway* :)

      I’m trying to keep my charging at no greater than 80% on a somewhat daily basis. Not necessary to charge every day, but keep plug in when at home. It will be interesting to see over time what effect this method will have on the battery life, as far as degradation. Had model 3 for less than a month about 770 miles so far. I’m using the app TezLab so my car data is being collected.

      Even modern Diesel diesel engines does not require those gadgets. Whats great about those shots of the cars is that maker of this video does not know european car plates since those cars are from Russia where winters generally are way harsher than the -27C. And from what i see those shots the cars are from Tomsk Oblast are if you want to know thats West Syberian Plain which means in those EV probably would not even start during the winter.

      You know you just defeated the whole point of having EV by your sentence, because it just show how much of denial. Great idea brand new battery for every winter. The thing even if manufacturer of battery says it can work -27C you really don't want it work in those conditions(in other words do go with your EV cars anywhere with temp. lower than -22C) since it would damage the battery so much that you will need a brand new one.

    16:55 - I think that is where Tesla's acquisition of Maxwell Technology comes into play. Tesla can integrate Maxwell's capacitors to capture regen engergy while the Li-Ion batteries heats up to optimal temps.

      interesting that in 2020 this topic has only 4 thumbs up. this whole thing is DRIVEN by battery technology - that's why it didn't take off earlier - pitiful batteries. The combination of Li-ion and capacitors opens up a new chapter - humbly IMO. Isn't the final answer, but so much better than anything else right now.

    I have a 2018 Honda Clarity PHEV and I'm loving it. Since buying the car (used) I've made about 20 trips, the majority of which were to work and back (23 mi each way) and my gas engine has only turned on once to do a "System Check" (a routine process to make sure it's working well) in the past 2.5 weeks. I have 283 miles of range in the nearly-full 7 gallon gas tank. I'll post back when I have to actually visit a gas station and fill up. :D I feel like Tesla is largely responsible for pushing manufacturers like Honda to make EVs and PHEVs.

    Thanks for the education. Taking delivery on our model 3 in a few days, and the information is very helpful. That was a lot of research for our benefit. Well done, Subscribed.

      Dual motor, big battery, and enhanced autopilot. I went with the 18 inch aero wheels to soften the ride a bit. I don't care for the looks of the snap-on wheel cover, but the alloy wheel under it isn't bad looking. I'll snap on the covers when doing long distance driving.
      Really looking forward to saying goodbye to gasoline, oil/changes, transmission/fluid and around 2,000 other moving parts subject to failure.
      I appreciate the tips on charging, your work gave me a better understanding of battery health! Thanks!

    You guys are making a professional effort to provide valuable information for everyone interested in Tesla.
    I have had a Model S for more than 3 years, and as much as I keep up, reading almost every article and seeing a great number of videos - your information and presentation is the most accurate, dense and complete I have seen.
    I have a recommendation: since you appear to be on track to basically create a 'Tesla Encyclopedia', I believe you might enhance the value of your project with an indexing system.
    An indexing system could be as simple or as complex as you choose to design.
    However, I see a complexly designed indexing system as eventually generating great rewards for both you and your viewers. It would be a big undertaking.
    1. Simplicity from the start would only need to categorize your videos by subject matter - a 'table of contents'.
    2. More complex would be to create an interactive tree of related material organized to send researchers logically to the level their prior research indicates would be most useful them, i.e., answer their questions before they ask them.
    3. Much more complex would be to access timestamps within each video so that keyword searches could provide your viewers with links to related snippets across the breadth of your video library, giving very detailed access to all the material you accumulate. They could in effect build their own video.
    lol - maybe I'm making an impossible work project with this last suggestion. I suggest it because I absolutely see your efforts producing the quality and detail that is sure to satisfy Tesla researchers. After all, you are entering a rapidly expanding market.

      I love this channel already. 3mins in and I can’t even stop thinking about how amazing it is for someone to not only get all this information but to make a 21min video on it. Haven’t watch the full video since I’m super tired from work but definitely will watch the rest later. Amazing work and content keep it.

    I want my next car to be wicked fast, totally silent, and run on the sunlight hitting my roof at home. Fun is good, but FREE fun is better.

      my model 3 is fast, silent, and charged by 17kw solar system in my backyard. Absolutely fun, but not free. The solar system cost $42000 after government incentive. That’s equivalent to 10years of my FPL bill. So after 10 years, if the system still works, I get my electricity free.

    I'm not sure about your advice to not use seat heaters. They draw only a few amps, but can improve comfort greatly. The best advice I've seen is to run the cabin heater until it's comfortable, then turn it down or off and then leave the seat heaters on to stay warm...

    • @TwoBitDaVinci
      @TwoBitDaVinci  5 років тому +1

      Totally I think that’s personal preference and honestly you can try some trial and error read your power consumption meter and see how it plays out! Share what you find

    • @Ingineerix
      @Ingineerix 5 років тому +2

      I concur. The seat heaters are nothing in the scheme of things. You'll save more power turning on the seat heaters and lowing the heat temp setting by 1 degree.

    When people are talking about lithium reserves they're not talking about lithium stacked in the back of a warehouse somewhere. That refers to all of the resource that is economically feasible to extract. I'm not saying that's an issue to worry about right now, but the way you mentioned it in your narration made it sound like there's lots more to be had somewhere. That's not the case. 18:35

    After watching part 1 and part 2, this seems more like a Tesla commercial than independent research. This seems especially evident with some of the statements about completing technologies. For instance I've never seen anywhere near a 50% loss in range of my Bolt due to cold. And I grew up in Wisconsin, and started our gas car in -50F temps at least once a year. (With no block heater.). There also is a lot of 'Tesla does it this way, that that's the best', without weighing the advantages or disadvantages of the various approaches. I also doubt the the battery design in other cars is based on 'what room was left over'. I found this interesting, but I feel like I need to watch videos produced by the other manufacturers to get a balanced point of view.
