Yeah, useful demo of how impractical those touch screens are in a car. We know you, Chris, are a very experienced user of screens and if you were having trouble on a bumpy road it frightens me thinking about how I, being in my sixties or my dispraxic wife would cope trying to use this on a British country road full of potholes! It really doesn't bear thinking about, think we'll pick an ev with a few buttons for the essentials. Great review, thanks Chris .
I discovered another cool location at Germering at Dehner Garten-Center, near München, whih has also CityWatt chargers I think there are 5 or 6 stations, with 2 connectors per station. I'd like to see this more often, particularly in Raststätten and Rastplätze :)
Good video from real life circumstances. I might have missed some comments, but I wonder what about comfort while driving över potholes (if there are any on autobahn) and also what about noice level?
Chris, I don’t understand why you stuck with what the car reported for consumption when Paul told you the actual number? He said 65.3kWh used as Tesla is I think the only car maker that shows motor only consumption figures, one may think to make it look more efficient than competition if you were suspicious 🤨. Thank you Paul Rules for offering your vehicle.
I think the consumption was pretty high. I always go with the car data on every car. It can always be wrong. The focus is on the range not on the consumption with this test.
oh, here's another old, uncorrected false statement: No, Tesla's consumption includes everything: heating, lighting, multimedia, etc. and is one of the most accurate displays in the industry!
Chris, you still have that error in the formula in the last row of your shieeet! Use either the original values or the corrected values, but use them consistently. The calc'ed battery size has to be 68,5 kWh.
67kWh ist zu wenig. Selbst mit den 3kWh unter 0%. Wahrscheinlich war das Auto nicht richtig kalibriert. Es müssten so um die 70kWh bis 0% und die restlichen 3.5kWh unter 0%. Und die neuen kommen mit den 79-80kWh.
@@BatteryLife Nein, nicht bei Tesla. Bei 130km/h konstant kannst du mit max 1kWh rechnen. Und alles unter 120km/h ist nicht messbar, unter 500Wh. Kannst bei mir auf dem Kanal schauen. Mit Konstanten 100-110km/h hast du praktisch keine Wärmeverluste. Das BMS war nicht kalibriertm so hohe "Verluste" sind Tesla untypisch. Man muss den Wagen 3-4 Wochen 10%-60% laden und den Wächter ausschalten, damit der Wagen im Schlafmodus das BMS kalibriert und dann wird sich das alles zurecht richten.
@@BatteryLife Ich habe deine alten Videos gesehen, bei 90km/h war der Wagen bei 69.5kWh. Das ist immer noch etwas weit weniger vom Optimum. Am Anfang sollten locker 71kWh entnehmbar sein bis 0% + die restlichen 3.5kWh unter 0%. Und der 130km/h run war so um die 69.1kWh. Wie vorhergesagt, kaum Unterschied zu 90km/h. Teslas sind extrem effizient in diesem Bereich. Und jetzt sind so 67kWh im BMS drin. Er kalibriert sein Auto nicht richtig. Sag dem Fahrer er solle sein BMS kalibrieren. Zuerst schön auf 100% vollladen. Bis der rappel voll ist, also schön auf 100% laden lassen bis er aufhört. Kann 1 Stunde nach erreichen von 100%dauern. Dann runterfahren bis so ca. 10%. Und dann gute 3-4 Wochen immer bis 10% runter auf max 60% laden. Und wiederholen. Und der Wächter Modus muss in diesem Zeitraum komplett aus sein, immer. Und dann staune, ich tippe mal beim nächsten Test sind so um die 70kWh entnehmbar.
I had a car with the speedometer in the middle and it was no problem. I got used to it in one minute. It was no danger at all. You don't look to the right door for it, by far not ;-)
You can display and adjust everything via voice control. Works perfectly fine, not as with certain other car brands. Chris apparently doesn't have any confidence in it because of his Volkswagen. ;)
@@richard--s I'm not talking about the speedo. I'm talking about most of the functions buried in pages on a screen. Air flow control on a screen? Glove box on a screen? every little adjustment on a screen? UGH. NO NO NO. I get it, some people love technology for technology's sake. But this is a vehicle first and foremost.

Get a BMW - everything can be done with the i-Drive wheel also in their BEV. My father is 79 and drives an i3

Ooh, I meant to ask if there were any problems with the self steering thingy in all that wind? I heard you negating with it to resume control... 🤔
Autopilotbwould not recognize my steering and then it shut me out for the whole drive.
What was the temprature?
Stats are shown in the end of the video.
Can you test summer with this LR and LR performance version on autobahn range test?
Sadly no. Tesla does not give me cars.
Good video from real life circumstances. I might have missed some comments, but I wonder what about comfort while driving över potholes (if there are any on autobahn) and also what about noice level?
Not a quiet car and a very harsh, sporty and bumpy ride. Not my cup of tea.
Sounds like a Lot of noise in the cabin?
It was ok, but not the best.
@@BatteryLife Enjoy watching youre videos!!!
@@BatteryLife ioniq 5 is much more quite, ja?
My parents thaught me to keep my mouth shut, if I got nothing positive to say, so Im writing one for the algorithm. 😶
Cheers Chris,, 🍻😎🤘

@@BatteryLife Totally agree if this is primarily for range and not consumption.

Tyres are 255 not 245…
Sorry, can't even read.

Bei 130 gibt es viel Wärmeverluste, deswegen kann nicht der gesamte Energieinhalt der Batterie fürs Fahren benutzt werden.

Please OEMs, don't follow Tesla with this 1 screen garbage. It's a dangerous joke. Thanks for the video Chris!

@@kevinn1158 at least the airflow is kept simple, you can't even turn one side off if the passenger doesn't like it
... change passenger 😂
Wow, so bad consumption.
I think it is ok.
It is not as efficient as a Model 3, but is quite better than a lot of the competition. Hopefully they put a bigger battery soon.
Thanks for the video. Not that efficient. But ugly as hell.
How is this no efficient, my id.4 doesn't have this consumption even in summer, and cars like Ioniq 5 or XC40 ar even more thirsty
The truest thing Iw read all day,, 🥰
