not 100% accurate. You have to be in none Eco modes . So, always put it on auto or normal to ensure battery is getting chilled ..

20% is overblown. I don't know how much my batteries are degraded now after 60k miles, but I drove 140+ miles more than one occasion with roof rack, hitch and running board ... I lose about 20% to 30% when towing 1000 pounds behind me ..... Get them, you will not lose any range ..

With 120k miles, it means you are buying a warranty-less car. So, ask yourself, what is th potential out of pocket cost, should a Tesla component go bad ? Even if you consider on the low end, you may be stuck paying $5k to $10k out of pocket, then I would add that to the asking price, and then...

Somehow, your math does not compute .. in order to get 1200 watts of power out of you inverter, you will need 1500 watts off your battery x2. that means you need over 250 AH battery to run that thing for maybe 30 minutes, before you drain the batteries .. And you are trying to do this off the...

I have 48k miles, and took a look when I rotated my tires, and the front ones were at about 50% .. It also looks like they have wear sensors, so you should get a warning ...

As noted, this happens with the car stopped using the hill assist mode ... So, not sure how the break pads would be the culprit ? I'm leaning towards the vacuum pump, and will post updates, if I find out what the problem is ..

So, my 2012, has developed a squeak noise when I break hard from the driver side. At first I was thinking it may be an anti lock sensor on the left driver side wheel, but now I'm able to get it to intermittently make the squeak, when I use the hill assist by pressing the break, and holding it...

I actually know what the pack voltage is .. It's 386.4 volts - Per Toyota (check the dismantling guide) I also know, per Toyota a fully charged pack will go 152 miles at 60 MPH, so that is 3.6-3.7 miles per KW which would equal about 42 KW Now according to your own numbers of 92 cells in...

I was hoping they did not, .... But then that proves the point that Voltage does not equal capacity, and that's what this test is... I would also take range charts as a basic guidance, as on my car I have a hitch, roof rack, running boards, child seat that I always carry around including towing...

This test by no means provide any value for degredation. It's based on voltage, and it absolutely useless to determine the AH capacity of the batteries. I have 40,000 k miles on my car, and if I connect via techstream, the kw capacity is still at 34+ KW, exactly what it was the day that I bought...

the last time that they disconnected my 12 volt battery to do a motor swap and firmware upgrade the climate took 19 mile off my range . make sure you climate is not turned on. Eventually after 10 to 15 charges it went down to only 2 to 3 miles difference when the climate was on.

This is a single phase inverter, which means you will need an autotransformer to convert to split phase. There are a lot of step down transformers that will step down to 120 volts, but you will only be able to power one phase of your breakers. This is also a Solaredge transformer that will...

Both the Conext, and Radian are split phase 240 volt. So, you get full power on each 120 volt phase. Why would you want an islanding feature as a must ? Have you looked at the complexities involved ? You will have to dump your extra load, or you will blow up everything,. How will you properly...

The car already has a DC to DC converter to step down the voltage for the 12 volt battery. Depending on voltage, you just need find the correct voltage and amperage DC to DC converter needed (48 volt being preferred). Then connect to a grid interactive inverter such as Schneider Electric SW or...

Per manual: Auto power off function If the vehicle is left in ACCESSORY mode for more than an hour with the shift position in P, the “POWER” switch will automatically turn off.

As Jason A mentioned you can buy the parts separately, and the cover as well, and it is color match to vehicle paint. Just go to Toyota dealer, and have them only order parts you need. I ordered the mirror, and the painted cover, and t cost me around $150, which was way better that the $500 to...

I have been using the Schneider Electric EV230WS for about 3 years now without any issues. http://www.amazon.com/Schneider-Electric-EV230WS-Generation-Enhanced/dp/B00CXXCVLI/ref=sr_1_31?ie=UTF8&qid=1456784006&sr=8-31&keywords=evse I also like the Seimens EVSE, but I chose the Schneider electric...

I would normally tend to agree with you if everything was routine, but in my case it's not . I have been building battery packs with used 18650 out of laptops for many years now, and I have learned a lot about them. They will not last over 8 to 10 years period....Especially in a hot...

So, I jumped on the techstream briefly today, and here is what I got. (sorry didn't realize I need to have an URL for it, and can't upload screenshot) .. Interestingly, I didn't know why I thought it had voltage vs capacity .. It actually gives you capacity ... Here are my numbers ... This is...

Yup! .....
