Quoting Mark Hanson via EV <ev@lists.evdl.org>:
I'm surprised the media doesn't mention the thousands of itty bitty
cells in a Tesla and that no one else does it that way for reliability
reasons (even with each one fused
Unfortunately,too many folks(Media)go through life lacking basic
science concepts. For example, few schools offer *Concept Physics* as
well as a second physics course where the emphasis is on the math. For
many, who are challenged by the math, physics is not taken. My
favorite is, Bernoulli's Principle a fun concept that could benefit
folks if they understood it.
I am told that if the tiny air sacs(alveoli)in our lungs were laid out
flat,they would cover a tennis court. Our body cells are "itty
bitty"as is the cell "machinery" inside them. Trees have manny small
leaves, not just one or two. I have not had a course in biophysics and
am not an electrical engineer, but I trust the engineers at Tesla
based what I see in nature.
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 gave it high marks for handling
etc, they gave it a low score for reliability. Currently they send
a "Tesla Ranger" out to your house for a battery field repair as
this cost is built into the price of a pricey car. I don't know how
this business model will work on lower prices $30k versions. I'm
surprised the media doesn't mention the thousands of itty bitty
cells in a Tesla and that no one else does it that way for
reliability reasons (even with each one fused)
Have a renewable energy day
