I didn't like the idea of thousands of little cells either, when I first looked at the Tesla design. The key word here is "availability", not MTBF, or reliability. The Tesla battery can withstand many single point failures without affecting performance or operation of the car, therefore the car re

Wow, huge misunderstanding of "reliability".. There is a huge difference between the poor reliability of large numbers of single-point failures compared to the HUGE redundancy in the Tesla battery with dozens of parallel redundancy at each step of the battery. I'd take the Tesla design any day a

Mark, You probably shouldn't use microcontrollers because they have millions of transistors with the potential of failure, better stick with the bipolar transistor!  Good luck with that! On Monday, October 8, 2018 3:45 PM, Mark Hanson via EV wrote: Aside from the high price the main

I don’t think your fears are based on any real data. The prismatic cells used in other cars have just as many points of failure they are just packaged differently. I cut open batteries and they contain layers of cells all connected in parallel. It’s the same thing except the cells aren’t fused l

Aside from the high price the main reason I wouldn't buy a Tesla is they're the only manufacturer that has uses 6800 flashlight batteries (2170) in an onroad vehicle. I just think of all those points of failure and the complexity of monitoring that reduces reliability. While Consumer Reports ga

Don’t kid yourself lots of cars already have many of the features. GPS tracking, drive recorders, remote shutoff etc. As far as fixing salvaged vehicles well, it’s slightly different than a gasoline vehicle in determining if it’s safe for the road. It’s understandable that they would want to in

Yeah, I get most of that. When the roadster came out, he promised his “affordable” car within a few years. I expected about $30-35k. But it is what it is. As far as the electronics, I think that you’re seeing the future. Both my Mirai and Clarity collect tons of data, though there is nothing (t
