Software Update, the Model S to be remotely carried out at the end of March. Chairman of Tesla Motors Elon Musk announced yesterday that the changes “will provide drivers with peace of mind,” and so solve the problem. range anxiety. Software Version 6.2 introduces a system to warn against excessive remoteness from the last charging station for electric vehicles, which in turn may result in the car’s battery and its immobilization.
One Coverage Service (ang. Range Assurance) will continue to monitor how far the vehicle is from the charging station, apart from the way those that are heavily loaded. When there is a risk that driving on a planned route, the battery runs out, the driver will be informed and asked if they want to continue to run in that direction.
– will have to answer, “Yes, I’m sure” – and that twice. This will prevent battery discharge, unless he deliberately wants to lead – Musk said at a press conference. If you wish to charge the battery system will direct the driver to the nearest station.
Software Update, as in the past, is done via mobile data.
– designed Model S to be like a computer on wheels. (…) The update is the same as in phones and laptops – Musk emphasized at a press conference.
The issue of the limited range and poor vehicle charging station infrastructure is one of the main problems of the electric car industry. The exception is the United States, where Tesla has made large investments to ensure proper vehicle charging station network. In such a place, the driver can in half an hour to charge the battery or replace it with less than three.
Company announces that in Europe is now more than 400 such sites, most of which is located in Germany. In Poland, there is no official station of the company. On its website the manufacturer says that on a full battery Model S can drive approx. 500 km.
Tesla estimates that 90 per cent. Americans live within approx. 281 km from one of the charging station equipment.
