~4 year Tesla owner here - if you can send ABRP data from your car, ABRP uses the data to build a customized consumption profile for your car. This greatly increases the accuracy of the predictions. It also helps them gradually improve their generic Mach-E consumption profile. For me...

The Tesla Supercharger cables differ between the earlier V1 and V2 Superchargers, and the current V3 ones. V1 Superchargers are fairly rare. V2 charge up to 150kW, and have relatively thick cables, with no active cooling. V3 is good for 250 kW, and added liquid cooling , which allowed them to...

The problem is simpler if you are starting with a brand new vehicle as the contactors should be in perfect shape - you could limit current as a function of temperature to hopefully ensure that the contactors never are damaged. The problem is much more difficult if the vehicle has been in...

Perhaps the high voltage contactor on the Model S and X were in the battery pack, but not so for the Model 3 and Model Y. The high voltage contactor on the Model 3 and Y is in a module that is below the rear seat, making access relatively easy if needed. If the high voltage contactor welds...

Hopefully Ford is simply being conservative and the in-service data will show that the motors, etc are holding up well. And that they decide to relax these limits via an OTA update. This is how it worked with the Tesla Model 3 about a year after first deliveries. Tesla increased the available...

I'm not familiar with the Mach-E, as we don't have one yet (we have a Tesla Model 3, but my wife has the hots for a MME as her next vehicle). ABRP tries to provide recommended charging stops and charging amounts to minimize total trip time (time driving + time charging). With our Tesla, the...
