PLANET COASTER CRACKED DELTA SAVE LOCATION UPGRADE
tankful (singular) in the Audi.Ī Tesla 3 with the standard 50 kilowatt-hour battery costs about $10 to recharge equipped with the upgrade 82 kilowatt-hour battery and the cost to fully recharge goes up to about $14. To travel the same distance as the A3, the Tesla would have to receive an additional $5 or so of kilowatt-hour-equivalent energy, bringing the savings down to about $31 to travel roughly the same distance per charges in the Tesla vs. The A3 goes more than 400 miles on 14.5 gallons’ worth of liquid energy (more than 500 miles on the highway) which costs its owner about $46 (at $3.20 per gallon). The Tesla goes 262 miles on about ten dollar’s worth of solid-state energy. Excepting its electric drivetrain, it is otherwise similar to other small sedans such as the Audi A3, which lists for $33,900 – a difference “up front” of $8,090. This is still much less than the roughly $32 it takes (at current per gallon cost of about $3.20) to buy ten gallons of liquid energy.īut is it cheap enough to make up for the cost of the electric car, itself?Ī Tesla Model 3 with the 263 mile battery pack lists for $41,990. It is cheaper to charge up an electric car than to refuel a piston-engined car.Ī Tesla 3 with the standard 50 kilowatt-hour battery costs about $10 to fully recharge equipped with the upgrade 82 kilowatt-hour battery and the cost to fully recharge goes up to about $14.

Which it will require, after sitting for a month – unless it was hooked up to a charger, using energy that way. But it is necessary to power the heater that maintains the temperature of the battery, which must be kept above a certain threshold in order to avoid damaging it and to maintain its capacity to receive a charge. The tank requires no energy to preserve the energy it contains.Įlectric car batteries, on the other hand, consume energy even when their energy isn’t being used. They do not evaporate or become less energy-dense. So long as the tank isn’t leaking, there won’t be less energy available when the piston-engined car’s owner wishes to drive somewhere – even if he left the car sitting for a month after having pumped in those 10 gallons. There is also no “energy penalty” for storing liquid energy.
