That makes more sense, the Niro only does when the car is switched on...
The Tesla is never really ‘off’ in that there is no on/off switch in the car so there is always a small amount of electronics running even when ‘asleep’.
The car isn’t constantly charging the battery but those electronics monitor the low voltage battery and wakes the car up to charge it when it’s getting low. If the car is ‘asleep’, the high voltage battery contractor will be open. It normally only needs to charge it once a day or every few days if the car hasn’t been used.
The battery is relatively small so it does run out quickly if there is a a fault condition, it will run out fairly quickly.
Yes but normally when 12v is restored it isn't still a problem...
It isn’t in a Tesla. If you restore 12v power, the car boots up and you can use it has normal. You are making nonsense up.
Tesla has had loads of issues with faulty screens and dead CPUs. Look it up. They replaced loads of them. They sourced the chips from Nvidia and it isn't automotive grade stuff, which is probably why
No. Again you are making up stuff like usual.
There was a specific issue which caused the EMMC storage to ware out in early Model S cars that was fixed via recall. A recall is not a gesture of good will, it’s a recall. Most were fixed proactively at the owners conscience, not due to a failure.
Shock horror a car gets a recall, who’s have thought it. The issue affected a few thousand cars, hardly a big deal. Its not even an nvidia part, it’s just a commodity storage chip found in millions of devices, including cars.
As for screens, a very small number of first early Model S cars have had an issue with the big LCD screen where the liquid in the LCD started to leak/evaporate. It still worked, it just didn’t look very nice as where the liquid escaped, it left and air bubble.
If the car was under warranty it was replaced, if it wasn’t the owner did have to pay. Most owners never encountered the issue as they had previously opted to retrofit the newer infotainment system which Tesla offered so they could take advantage of the latest software features and more importantly, a 4G modem.
The first gen cars were only equipped with 3G modems and 3G connectivity was withdrawn by the U.K. government. The retrofit bought the car up to date with the cars made years later.
So Nasher, since when were two small issues which weren’t even what you said they were and impacted a few thousand cars at the most ‘loads of issues’.
The Model 3 and Y are up there with some of the most reliable cars.
The S/X probably would be if they didn’t have their infamously complex door handles/doors.
Updates brick them, losing 12v power bricks them, touchscreens die, CPUs die. **** that.
