Tesla Model 3: a 100 kWh battery and a Ludicrous mode in preparation?

[ad_1]

The Tesla Model 3, flagship of the Californian manufacturer, is it about to integrate a 100 kWh battery and offer the Ludicrous driving mode? This is what is believed to have discovered a hacker, used to Tesla computer codes.

To wonder if this is not part of a strategy to sell more Tesla Model 3. Indeed, the Californian manufacturer has, by "error", displayed on the configurator of the Model 3 a new mode called "Accelaration Boost ". This option, billed $ 2,000, would only concern the Model 3 Dual Motor (Grande Autonomie).Thus endowed, this Model 3 would reach 0 to 96 km / h (60 mph) in 3.9 s compared to 4.4 s currently. This new function, the date of availability of which is not yet known, will be linked to the new version of the house OS, 2019.40.2.

According to the site ELECTrek who made the discovery, the value of such an option is questionable but shows that there are not so many differences between the powertrains of the Model 3 Dual Motor and Performance.

If the Acceleration Boost option is real, the possibility of a Tesla Model 3 with a 100 kWh battery should be taken with caution. Indeed, "leaks" of computer codes linked to software updates show that the Model 3 could integrate a larger battery as well as the Ludicrous mode which propels any Tesla in cannonball. A modern version of nitrous oxide more commonly known as "Nitro".

A 100 kWh battery pack?

We owe this discovery to a man named Green, a hacker who specializes in reading Tesla codes. Thus, by dissecting the latest software updates of the Model 3, the latter found references to a battery pack of 100 kWh (against 75 kWh currently) and to the famous Ludicrous mode. Fashion that Elon Musk had promised to bring to the Model 3 in the past. Although this information appears, Green warns that this is currently only speculation. Tesla is customary of the fact, namely to include new features in its updates without them being activated afterwards.

It remains to be seen whether a Tesla Model 3 with a 100 kWh battery pack for a range of around 640 km – compared to 520 km today – would have any sense knowing that it would have an impact on the purchase price.

Among other changes, the abandonment of tire pressure monitoring systems TPMS (Tire Pressure monitoring System) from Continental equipment manufacturer in favor of health home sensors, BLE, which uses Bluetooth for feedback and the appearance of new rims called "Gemini".

Only remains to wait until the next update …
