  Still no Tesla, but I built a VIN battery health check

  (Disclosure: my own project, there’s a paid part. Mods, please move it if this is the wrong place.) Some of you saw my intro, the guy who has been “about to buy” a used S or X for years and still drives a Volvo. The main thing that kept stopping me was the battery. Every listing says “no

  How long until the 1st update

  I’m in Tennessee. I ordered a MY premium AWD on October 12 in Quiksilver with black and white interior. I was initially given an estimate of 3-5 weeks. After reading some of the other posts on this board, the actual delivery varies wildly. When should I expect my first update to drop in the app? Is 3-5 weeks a realistic timeframe?

  SuperPanther: eTopas 600 at centre of European growth strategy

  SuperPanther aims to rapidly scale up sales of its eTOPAS 600 in Europe. At the IAA Transportation, Frank Schulz, Head of European Sales, spoke with electrive about the first customer deployments, consumption figures, dual-CCS as a bridge to MCS, and the planned ramp-up to several hundred vehicles. His assessment of economic viability is particularly bold: he states that the electric truck is already more cost-effective than a diesel in terms of total cost of ownership (TCO).

  Sharing charging infrastructure between companies could improve the economics of electric truck fleets, according to a three-year research project led by Fraunhofer IFAM.

  Traffic Aware Cruise Control (TACC) should be standard free of cost - Let’s vote and make Elon Hear

  Windshield Wipers in Winter

  Well... after the first snowstorm in my M3 I have come to find the wipers to be very inadequate. Most of the wiper blade was ineffective in making contact with the windshield and the wiper fluid mechanism works to clean 30-40% of my windshield at best. I had even cleaned them off before I started my drive home. Wish they had a wiper deicer built in similar to other vehicles. Anyone have thoughts or ideas on how to improve their performance?

  Batteries NOT compatible according to Tesla Service 85KW S 2014

  I installed an 85KWH used battery into my Tesla P85D 2014 and could not get the software to update. Tesla Service Center in Centennial Colorado said the battery is not compatible with the car. How is this possible? It is likely that the battery was pulled from a RWD car and put into my AWD. I have not seen anything online or in the Tesla service manual to suggest that this could be a problem. Does anyone have a similar experience or a solution?
