[EVDL] Tesla Model 3 Battery Current Collector: Radically Different Design
https://insideevs.com/tesla-model-3-battery-current-collector-design/ Here's an article that describes M3's battery orientation, which is radically different than the S or X. It allows for tighter packing of the cells and therefor a smaller physical sized pack for the same amps. It also means a lighter pack since the current collectors are thinner. It also shows again that Tesla uses wire for fuses.

Chinese Tesla 2019 XPENG G3 by He Xiaopeng Showroom Walk Around
]
If you don’t have Tesla-money but want to drive Tesla-ish EV
Here is the Xpeng G3 all-electric car from the Xiaopeng Motors start-up.
Yes, it’s inspired by the Tesla.
As you can see from the walk around video, there is a lot of similarities
between the Xpeng G3 and the Tesla Model X, although it’s a way simpler,
more affordable model, which in top version costs around $38,000 before
subsidies.
With a battery half the size of the Tesla, and an electric motor much less
powerful than Tesla, it would probably be competitor to Hyundai Kona
Electric.
Xpeng G3 specs:
- 0-50 km/h (31 mph) in 3.7 seconds
- 145 kW electric motor
- up to 365 km (227 miles) of range (NEDC)
- 47.6 kWh battery
- 0-80% fast charging in about 30 minutes
- prices from 227,800 to 257,900 CNY ($33,500-$38,000) before incentives
in China
- prices from 135,800 to 165,900 CNY ($20,000-$24,400) after incentives in
China

Harley-Davidson had better be ready for a fight.
Zero Motorcycles has started teasing an all-new electric motorcycle that
looks like it will be a very close competitor to the Harley-Davidson
Livewire coming later this year.
Revealed so far only in shaded images, the Zero SR/F is described as an
“effortlessly powerful experience in the naked street bike category.”
The motorcycle features a step-up saddle similar to the Livewire’s that’s
coupled with a modern tank shape and what appears to be an exposed
side-mounted rear shock absorber.
Zero will reveal full details on Feb. 25, but what we do know is that it
currently sells an SR model with 70 hp, a combined range of 150 miles per
charge, the ability to accelerate to 60 mph in under 3.5 seconds and a
starting price of $19,390, while the Livewire will deliver similar
specifications for $29,799.
The two will be the main competitors in the space, which has seen several
bikemakers go bust in recent years, although Harley-Davidson’s top
conventional motorcycle rival Indian is working on an electric that may
debut this year.

Hello everyone and welcome to another addition of our weekly round up, where
we recount the EV news that we didn’t cover at length. I hope you all have
had a wonderful week. If you are looking for Tesla specific news, then you
are in luck as we have a post just the post for you. This week had a look at
the first spy shots of the BMW i4 ... Along with the EV news that we did not
cover, we have a recap of all the EV news that we did cover in length at the
bottom as well, in case you missed it.
First Spy Photos of the New BMW i4
A few months ago we reported on how BMW was looking to have a more
conventional look for its upcoming BMW i4. Instead of being built from the
ground up like the i3 and i8, the i4 would be an extension of the existing
4-series line of cars. Now with these new spy-photos, BMW seems to be
keeping with that intention. The highly camouflaged i4 keeps more or less
the same roofline as the current BMW 4-series Grand Coupe. However, the car
does seem to sit higher up, most likely due to the battery taking up the
floor of the cabin. There don’t seem to be any radical styling elements on
this particular model, and if it weren’t for the fake exhaust tips and
“Electric Test Vehicle” stickers all over the car, we would all most likely
think that this is a normal 3- or 4- series coming from BMW. For the full
reveal we will have to most likely wait for the upcoming Frankfurt Auto Show
towards the end of the year. With the i8 being pretty expensive and the i3
being an acquired taste in terms of styling, the i4 will look to be the
first i-series car from BMW that will have mass appeal.

[EVDL] EVLN: Musk sez Tesla Pickup truck 2b unveiled this summer
https://electrek.co/2019/01/30/tesla-pickup-truck-unveiled-this-summer/
Tesla Pickup truck may be unveiled this summer, says CEO Elon Musk
Jan. 30th 2019 Jameson Dow

e-truck
]
During Tesla’s Q4 2018 investor conference call today, CEO Elon Musk stated
that Tesla’s much-anticipated pickup truck may be ready for an unveil “this
summer.”
Recently Musk stated that Tesla “might” unveil the prototype this coming
year, but in today’s call, he seemed slightly more certain that an unveil
could happen this summer. But don’t buy your plane tickets yet, because
nothing has actually been announced.
While there have been rumors for a long time, we first heard about the Tesla
pickup truck at the Tesla Semi unveil event. At the time, the concept photo
we saw looked rather silly. Tesla stated at the time that the pickup would
be big enough to carry a standard pickup truck in the bed, and in fact
included a photo of this in the concept sketch which was shared at the
event.
But since then, we’ve seen more developments in electric pickup trucks.
Rivian stunned us and the rest of the LA Auto Show when they unveiled the
R1T. The Rivian booth was just across from the Ford booth, and every time
we walked by we saw more people at Rivian than at Ford, despite Ford’s
larger footprint.
Ford must have gotten jealous, because they recently announced that they,
too, would make an electric pickup in the coming years.
There’s also Workhorse, who plan to release their W-15 soon. Also these
$5000 Chinese NEV pickups which will be mostly for on-campus type of
applications.
Perhaps these new developments have nudged Tesla to bring up their
production plans a little bit. Tesla, accustomed to having the lead in
electric vehicles, may not want other companies to steal their limelight and
get to the road before they do.
What do we know about the truck so far? Not much for certain. It will
likely be a large pickup, with 6 seats, a large battery for long range and
to allow towing, all-wheel drive, have high towing capacity, and will have a
240-volt and air compressor connections for power tools.
Elon says he’s in love with the “heart stopping” design which is “cyberpunk
Bladerunner“.
Electrek’s Take
I’ve long thought that EV technology matches very well with pickup trucks.
Trucks are already large, with lots of room to put batteries. They benefit
from high low-end torque for pulling things around, which EV motors have in
spades. EV motors can be made more responsive for difficult traction
situations, which trucks are likely to find themselves in. EVs have huge
batteries which can provide connections for power tools, or an EV could
benefit from on-site electricity to charge at work if needed. Most trucks
are used in fleets and have relatively fixed daily range requirements, so
it’s easy to know how much range you’ll need. And fleets are all about
choosing the most economical vehicle, so a truck which needs less
maintenance and costs less to fuel will be attractive to the fleet manager.
The problem with the truck market is that brand loyalty is very high, and
American companies do make pretty good trucks. So it will be tough for
Tesla to break into this market. But I’ve said many times before: “the bean
counters will save the world.”
When fleet managers and accountants see that an electric pickup truck can be
more economical than their gas-powered counterparts, companies will switch
over very rapidly, as we’re seeing with early Tesla Semi orders.
So if Tesla, or any other manufacturer, can deliver a reasonably-priced
pickup truck for fleets, they’ll have tons of sales. I’m not sure this is
what Tesla is targeting, since they state the truck will be very large,
high-performance, and so on. But maybe they can start with an “S” pickup,
targeting the “weekend warrior” types who currently buy $75,000 Raptors or
$90,000 F-450 Limiteds, and move down to a fleet-style truck at more
reasonable prices.
