Tesla should absolutely hire those four hackers that figured a way to jailbreak the un-hackable FSD software, many have paid upwards of $15K. Put them on their software/ security team and make sure they are well compensated. They are obviously smarter than the original team that created this ‘bulletproof’ software.
Sorry to rain on your parade...
He says straight up that the extended range has an additional 3 modules.
This was the initial information we all argued about for the past year. There's new information that their battery plan has changed, but no further details. That's what we're talking about.
I remember hearing Barman talking about how battery options have opened up because of the EV Incentive going away and other companies scaling back operations, but I don't take that to mean anything has actually changed. What have you heard?
It was all forum rumors, and I think the original post is gone. But something about the small battery being more enticing. Battery specs is one if the big things I've been waiting for, so I'm excited for the 24th.
Forum's going to be crazy on the 24th, and I'm here for it! 😅
Would that mean that if the range of your Slate isn't enough for your needs can you just add another module or 2?
This is the thread I started talking about the different ways the small and large pack could be arranged. However it's done, you wouldn't be able to just add modules as you feel like, because the BMS would need to be changed or at least programmed for the different voltage and cell count.
It's just that my home is on solar and I have six DIY 48v LiFePo4 battery 'modules' and each module has it's own BMS to take care of cell balance, over/undercharging etc. All the six modules are then connected in parallel. Can't see why Slate modules would be any different.
That would require each module to be the full ~400v, so ~96 cells and a BMS. It's possible, but the two companies that were building packs like that (Arrival and Ample) have gone bankrupt. Slate claimed that they're using "proven modules", so probably not a novel full pack voltage module design.
Still so many unanswered questions.
Agreed
