RE: Tesla charging queue and sleeping beauty in car

in #blog7 years ago (edited)

They are fairly expensive here also. Much more than a premium sedan of diesel/bensin. However there is no VAT (value added tax) for electric cars in Norway so that is one incentive and makes it cheaper in Norway than other countries where they have VAT on electric cars.
This is not my car. I bought a Tesla Model X which is estimated to be delivered in end of march. Currently I am borrowing a Tesla model S while waiting. Earlier I was borrowing a Model X like you can see in previous posts. How fast you charge depends on how big your battery is. Maximum speed is about 550 KM per hour, which only happens during like 50% of the battery and once you go above that it gradually drops to lower and lower speed to protect your battery. To charge from 0-100% takes twice as long than 0-90%. With this red model S which is not the newest model and the highest performance engine of that model... It charges from 0-90% in about 1 hour, which is like 300 km. Newest model with highest capacity will probably charge the same also in 1 hour and instead give 500 km for that charge.

El precio es muy caro

Thanks for the solid information. Interesting that it takes twice as long for only 10% more charge. 1 hour for 90% isn't bad at all though. Hopefully one day I will own one! I bet you are looking forward to the end of March!
