Video Summary
Here is the summary of the YouTube video provided:- The review is for a Tesla Model S 60 kWh after about 3000 miles of driving.
- The Tesla Model S 60 kWh was received as a loaner due to a battery problem.
- The reviewer used the car for about 5000 kilometers.
- The first impression was the charging is slower than the 85 kWh model, but much slower than expected.
- Charging test result: 85 kWh takes ~10 minutes to charge for 100 km, the 60 kWh requires ~20 minutes.
- Charging test result: For 200 km charge, the 85 kWh takes ~25 minutes, the 60 kWh takes ~50 minutes.
- Driving 500 km, where 45-minute to one-hour charging stops are normal, now requires almost two hours to recharge.
- A 60 kWh Tesla costs about $6000-$8000 less than an 85 kWh after incentives, and paying for supercharging capability.
- A conclusion is that 85 kWh is better than 60 kWh if you have the money.
- The warranty is better on the 85 kWh with unlimited kilometers vs. 200 kilometers.
- The 60 kWh's battery pack is lighter, which contributes to being more energy efficient.
- Power difference from 60 kWh vs. 85 kWh model is notable, but sufficient for everyday driving.
- Firmware version 5.8 increased maximum power and charge current, potentially leading to poor battery health, which resulted in a subsequent power reduction.
- Other drivers have experienced about half the charging speed of the 85 kWh Tesla.
- The review’s overall conclusion is that “If you have the money, go for the 85. The 85 is a lot better.”
