There will be no increase in the range, but better navigation and route planning will provide an easier life for the owners of the Model S.
Through a new software update will Tesla give drivers an easier way to plan your journey on, so you are always within a radius of a fast-charging station: A better navigation and a new route plan.
It announced Tesla CEO Elon Musk in a conference call, which is currently underway. The software update 6.2 is available to all Tesla Model S and will be about ten days.
The system works so that the car constantly communicate with hurtigladerne and car battery status. This is done every 30 seconds.
– It can help those who have reach anxiety. Although I have gone out of power twice, said Elon Musk in the conference.
– After the update, it should be like buying a new car, he promises.
Musk also promised to double the number hrutigladere worldwide.
– Good enough
GOOD enough: The range of Tesla Model S is good enough, according to Musk. Here he is on an earlier occasion.

– model 85 D has a range of 280 miles (480 km). This corresponds to three to four hour drive on the highway, and ten hours in the city, maybe more. It is very good, said Musk.
Musk also added in the question and answer session afterwards, Tesla anytime can make a battery pack with 500 miles range (about 800 km), but that it has little going for it because very many cars then will normally carry extra weight of unused capacity. The ideal for EVs is a range of between 400 and 560 km, he said.
During the next 12 months should throughout Europe, the USA and most of China be incorporated into the new “Range Assurance” – functionality. It communicates constantly with “supercharger network” fast chargers. This is according to Muskegon impossible to run out of power when this warning you. You should press NO twice to ignore the advice of the charge-Assistant.
A Trip Planner will also give you tips on when you need to charge and how long you need to be plugged in, with as to how far to go.
It will also give you answers to where and how to get where you want, with the charging capabilities as you need to reach.
Automatic emergency braking are also standard on all Model S. It shall also collision warning and blind spot warning.
Should run even
With the next update, version 7, also comes autonomic functions , ie self executable functions. This comes within six months. You should be able to drive from San Francisco to Seattle without touching anything in the car.
The car will also add themselves to sleep even and could close the garage door. With version 6.2 will also be better radio.
– We have also improved acceleration and braking, said Musk.
– Limited value
UPDATES HAVE LIMITED VALUE: It believes senior Magnus Thomassen at SINTEF.
This news is well as expected, says senior Magnus Thomassen at SINTEF. He has a PhD in electrochemistry, and is an expert in energy storage.
– A software update can not do anything with the physical limitations in the capacity of the battery and energy.
But the car fits better that you do not run too far away from a charger may be comforting for some, he said.
– But experienced elbilister think I can do this well yourself and for them this new feature limited value. I can not see it being any possibility to reserve space on superladerne, so you will not eliminate uncertainty about whether it is queued by the charger or not when you arrive, says Thomassen.
He thinks it Interestingly Musk believes that cars are have long enough range today.
– Maybe it means we do not expect any improvement of the range in the coming years? It could mean that Tesla will be harder to compete against other zero-emission alternative such as hydrogen cars, he said.
– No big surprises

– This was no big surprises and little disappointing in relation to expectations. Only software update that improves navigation and a range indicator, said Secretary General of Norwegian EV Association, Christina Bu.
The range of EVs varies greatly with temperature, topography and driving style. If the new range indicator is as good as Musk argues, one can drive without worries about running out of power along the way.
– Longer with EV requires planning. Now do Tesla planning for you. Where you possibly should stop to charge on your way to your destination. Tesla shows the way and ensures that the traditional automakers must take up the competition, she says.
– For Norway it will be exciting to see when Tesla initiates installation of the so-called destinasjonsladerne (Destination Chargers, 22 kW).
wheel drive
The last time Elon Musk promised Tesla news in a Twitter announced press conference, he launched wheel drive. World intercepted not stunned for breath in October, when four-wheel drive called “D”, was announced.
But the car is raw! We’ve tested it – read test and see video of the new Tesla wheel drive here.
Sunday let Tesla CEO Elon Musk out a tweet that he will kill range-anxiety. Speculation about what he could put forward, has gone vehemently. The hottest rumor on the exchange goes on twice the range of the Model S.
A buddy recently got a new car. A speed monster with 700 horsepower that moves the 2.2 tonnes from 0 to 100 in 3.4 seconds if you put it in “Insane” mode. A car which would normally filled treasury with between 1 and 1.5 million. He paid zero, niks and nothing in tax and VAT for its new electric car. Read VG comment here.
