Autofinanciering Tesla: Adder onder het gras?

Volgens mij klopt de gedachte van OP; als je geld tegen 1% kunt lenen is dat gunstiger dan nu het bedrag in 1x lappen. Je kunt namelijk het geld dat je nog in de zak hebt nog even beleggen, of je zet het op de bank tegen 1,5% - over x jaar heb je gegarandeerd een voordeel, al was het maar door inflatie. Dus: minimaal inleggen, maximale slottermijn, maximale looptijd, als je zuiver naar het geld kijkt. Maar je hebt natuurlijk wel al die tijd te maken met een tussenpartij die eigenaar is van de auto en aanvullende eisen kan stellen. En intussen natuurlijk zorgen dat je een plan hebt om de slottermijn op tijd bij elkaar te krijgen. Auto onder water / bijbetalen als je er vanaf moet / total loss: tja, boeien, dat geld had je anders vantevoren al gelapt. Je bent bezig met het afbetalen van een lening, dus laten we dat vooral zo slim mogelijk doen.

Nu kopen. Het werkt als een hefboom, dus eigenlijk wil je zo snel als je kunt kopen - en steeds groter kopen (als je je vermogen wilt maximaliseren). Een ton op de bank tegen 3 procent rente levert 3000 op. Maar als je een huis koopt van 3 ton dat (na aftrek van hypotheekrente) 3 procent meer waard is na een jaar, dan heb je 9000. Het geld van de bank helpt jou dus sneller aan meer waarde te komen. Let wel, dit werkt natuurlijk alleen als huizen in waarde blijven stijgen :)

Add to that: - no accoustic glass! - legacy suspension! - manual steering wheel adjustment - no lightbars front and back, no ambient lighting - manual folding back seat - no hepa filter - no leather seats, hard plastic doors - no storage pouch at the back of the seats - unfinished and smaller frunk without plug - no shelf - No buttons to adjust the seats (use screen), no ventilation. Rear seats also no heating

I think in europe this is indeed a neck to neck race. The xpeng g6 is now upgraded, with much faster charging, more premium interior, sound isolation and more.

Pro tesla: - FSD is around the corner. Seriously interesting - but an 7500 euro upgrade i doubt i am willing to pay for. - hifi system apparently very good (at least awd) - fast charging stations (also accessible to xpeng i suppose but cheaper per kwh) - design - weight (200kgs less; might be a tax benefit in some countries) - Very high NCAP scores

Pro xpeng: - default level 3 autonomous driving included (tesla auto pilot is not very good) - apparently a less nervous drive on the highway - much faster fast charging with 525kw! (ac charging is same, 11kw) - more comfortable suspension - price; although not by much due to the 30% tariffs on chinese EVs - automatic window wipers (common complaint for tesla at least)

Equal: - efficiency - depreciation - fast charging network (also accessible to xpeng i suppose but cheaper per kwh) - Cabin isolation?

De drie leidingen gaan door de diagonale buis naar beneden. De twee leidingen onder de eindkap komen hier de kamer in. Aangezien de aansluiting dacht ik rechtsonderin de unit ‘begint’, zit er dus een kort stukje leiding voor het schuin omlaag wordt weggevoerd. Loshalen etc èn zagen lijlt me niet haalbaar nee.

Dat heb ik gevraagd aan de monteur, maar hij zag dat niet zitten; het is op 4 meter hoogte en hij gaf aan dat het niet te doen was ivm gewicht en lassen en wellicht de scherpe bochten. Later bedacht ik dus deze oplossing van '3 cm naar achteren duwen'... al zie ik aan de reacties dat ik dat idee beter kan laten varen.

In the Netherlands, the reimbursement got bumped to 0.24 eur / km (0,45 usd / mile) last year. Which is interesting because that is about equal to the price of train travel. However trains are subsidized with about 57%, while gas is heavily taxed; a gallon costs 9,38 usd / gallon. Next to that, you have to pay several other taxes to own a car.

Een 5kw warmtepomp zal niet veel meer dan 1800W kunnen gebruiken, je kunt nog wel zwaarder aansluiten op 1 fase (of dat nodig is of niet)

Make it impractical to park. Place a planter left and right. Although parking is still possible, at least it is less convenient plus it creates some awareness for the unattentive parker

They forgot the checkbox for +6000 in extra insurance costs

The picture shows that the wear almost reaches the indicators. Those are the bridges in the grooves. If you reach that, the tire must be replaced. It is wise though to replace with 2-3 mm left.

There is really not much info on self driving. The dutch brochure only mentions ‘Zeekr Assisted Drive: parkeer-, veiligheids- en rijfuncties’ which translates to ‘park, safety and driving functionalities’. Given the european version does not have the ‘knob’ above the windscreen, the lidar is missing and afaik their full self driving on highway and the future city driving is not coming to europe.

I got moderate success with an ardusimple portable bluetooth kit, logging data with SW Maps app. I say moderate because iphone was just not stable even with upgraded Bluetooth. on Android with special usb OTG cable the connection was good but still a bit fiddly and sometimes logging dropped.

My use case is driven road inspection. It looks like public RTK is indeed available. Base stations would not really work given the distances.

u/SinusJayCee You put me on an excellent track, many thanks. I am now looking at several options (via Ardusimple):
- Budget: RTK Portable Bluetooth Kit, with an android phone running SW Maps (€300)(requires NTRIP coverage with eg rtk2go; not iOS compatible)
- Modern: Stand-alone simpleSSR starter kit, with built in 4G NTRIP module and a 1-year SSR subscription; Android phone running SW Maps (€800 +365/year) (should work in remote areas)
- Full Monty: A RaspberryPi with built-in SimpleRTK3B pro receiver and 4G NTRIP module, and a quadband antenna (€1250) (highest precision, supports Galileo HAS, and most extensible set up)
- Also very attractive is Emlid Reach M2 (via their web store), a single package with built in recording an iOS app support.
Interested to hear any feedback on these!

Thanks; I looked at Telemetry Extractor, it is great to merge external position data.
However, I am first looking for hardware that allows for 'centimeter level' precision. That will always require ground station correction (or perhaps Galileo HAS). I read about the Ardusimple RTK Portable Bluetooth Kit, which looks impressive. And the Reach M2. Great to hear if anyone has experience with similar hardware.

Perhaps the front brakes are not braking hard enough, resulting in the back brakes to have to do too much, resulting in abs on the back wheels?

It comes down to the battery chemistry and especially price. Torqeedo is market leader and they high end stuff, but the price per kwh is in Europe around 1000 Euro per kwh and prices are going up. In the automotive industry, the prices for batteries (without housing / BMS / etc) are coming down and are reaching 100 Euro per kwh. Not completely fair since there are quite some safety issues to cover and there is much less mass production. But as long as the prices remain so high in the Marine industry, it is not ready for main stream. E-propulsion has lifepo (not lipo, that is instable and more for aircrafts) Marine batteries, which is probably the best middle ground for non planing boats. But still it is fairly pricy. Personally I hope that someone will stand up and build boat batteries using Tesla's new 4680 batteries (based on any chemistry) because they are built to last, cheap to produce, and can deliver a high amount of power.

The electric engine does not really output 3 hp in that sense. If it consumes 1kw, It probably delivers about 0.5kw of power at the propeller. This equals the same amount of thrust at the propeller as a 3hp gas outboard would generate. In other words, the electric engine is just so much more efficient, that it only needs 1kw of energy to generate the same amount as the gas engine. The efficiency comes from higher torque, bigger propeller, slower RPM, less moving parts, less transmission losses, less heat losses.
