The new update, new improvement at Tesla. With version 2022.40.1, fast charging will be optimized to consume less, while improving the charging times of the different vehicles. In addition, door unlocking, radio, and dog mode are enriched with new practical features.
If the vehicles of the firm Elon Musk are real computers on wheels, this means that bugs can persist in each software version. Updates correct some of them – in addition to adding new features – as is the case for the version currently deployed: 2022.40.1.
SMARTER FAST CHARGING
The Tesla Model 3 and Model Y that travel the roads of Europe in the direction of a Supercharger of the mark have a feature that takes on importance as winter approaches: the pre-conditioning of the battery. In concrete terms, before charging, the vehicle will use the energy of its motors to heat the battery pack and arrive at an ideal temperature when plugged in.
If the theory is brilliant, the execution is sometimes imperfect (especially with battery heating during charging when it was not necessary), and Tesla has therefore improved this point in version 2022.40.1:
“During fast DC charging, the thermal system controls have been optimized for the power of each charging station, improving both the efficiency of charging and battery pre-conditioning along the way. This results in a fast charging time and reduced energy consumption.”
We will not fail to concretely verify the improvement linked to this new version.
