http://gas2.org/2015/08/20/cheapest-tesla-model-s-yet/ Stunning. Well equipped car with 4 year warranty for the same price as new B class .

My Tesla CPO came with new tires, brakes and charging cable. Was detailed in as-new condition. My car has a warranty same as new, so an additional 4 years and 50000 miles from the date I purchased (a week ago). Let me tell you, we put 2500km in our first week, this car is light years ahead of...

Seeing CPO Tesla Model S 60KWH cars selling for big discount off new, one went for $46K. Personally, I just got back from 2500km in our new (to us) CPO Tesla Model S 85, that's a lot of gas free driving in our first week of ownership!

Wondering what used Tesla Model S 60kWh with 4 year 50,000 mile (from purchase point forward) will attract vs the Mercedes B ED at ~$50k. Example: http://www.teslamotors.com/models/preowned/p11041 60 kWh Model S 2013 24,558 miles P11041 $55,000

The Smart ED has a digital gauge, three "bars", whereas the MB B ED looks to have an analog version of this. In the Smart ED, this power meter shows available power. In the Smart ED, there is a kickdown switch on the accelerator pedal, which must be pressed firmly (to full travel) to engage...

This is normal for the range estimation EV's to be conservative. My Smart ED has similar behaviour. I blogged my experiences going "below zero": http://mysmartelectricdrive.blogspot.ca/2014/05/running-on-empty-cause-thats-way-i-roll.html As for the reverse drive using more energy, it may be...

My Smart ED only has 17.6kWh battery (half of the B ED) and I for sure can exceed 35 miles of range in -20C cold. I see about 60% of my summer range in the coldest winter days after the car is cold soaked for 7+ hours. Is there something unusual about the B ED in terms of battery heating or...

I've blogged one of my "take it to zero" experiences in my Smart ED: http://mysmartelectricdrive.blogspot.ca/2014/05/running-on-empty-cause-thats-way-i-roll.html I've taken my Smart ED down to zero almost a dozen times now, and each time I knew that I'd be close, and a few times I just pushed...

The difference in efficiency is not particularly relevant to the pocketbook when comparing the current crop of electric cars. Lets see how much it costs for 100km using $0.20/kWh for the electricity rate (including taxes and charger inefficiencies), that means it costs. My Smart ED when driven...

1.6 miles / kWh converts to 37 kWh / 100 km, which is the energy consumption figure I am getting in my Smart Fortwo Electric Drive in -20C temperatures running cabin and seat heaters full blast and doing many jack-rabbit starts. The energy consumption to heat the battery pack (the Smart ED has...
