Actually I was thinking a quick manufacturing change could itself he related to rapidgate.
But I have no idea really
Agreed that a lack of fan noise says a lot. I have heard Teslas at Superchargers that sound like little airplanes with propellers.Astros wrote: ↑Tue Sep 10, 2019 12:56 pmI saw that post, but I don't really believe it. It is true that I see my Plus battery pack heat up much less than my 30 or 40kWh packs did, even with multiple long fast charging sessions, but I have mostly attributed that to the lower C rate. On my last long trip, our second charge lasted 55 minutes and we gained over 40kWh to a 94% SoC, which suggests that we were getting close to the full 44kW rate of the charger up to ~90% SoC. Even then, we only had 8 temperature bars. I'm afraid I neglected to get a LeafSpy reading at that point. Still, I didn't hear any sort of fan noise coming from the car, so if there is a fan, I can't imagine it's doing much.
No doubt. And the cells towards the perimeter cool off first. Such is the life of a passive cooling design
I only consider it newsworthy because of the source who I trust A LOT. Remember he just returned from the Corporate awards ceremony where exposure to the upper echelons of LEAF design is not only possible but expected so the timing of his reveal is not a surprise.Astros wrote: ↑Tue Sep 10, 2019 12:56 pmI saw that post, but I don't really believe it.

Still waiting on more details on that.
In settings you can change order you see temp sensors so yeah, you can arrange them from high, average and low. FYI; even if using sensors, the last one will still be lower than the first two but at least you will see situations where the 2nd one is higher than the first one. I tried both and the info varies so little that its an "either or" preference.danrjones wrote: ↑Tue Sep 10, 2019 1:43 pmYes, but some part of the battery (or whatever is monitored) heats up much faster than the rest.LeftieBiker wrote: ↑Tue Sep 10, 2019 12:03 pmMaybe a dumb question, but could one of the three temp sensors (I only see three), could it be on the motor?
Most things are possible, but I doubt that this one is true.
I'm not sure if leafspy arranges so Temp1 is always the hottest, or if temp1 is always sensor 1?
in my case Temp1 (left reading in leafspy) seems to always be the hottest.
Correct, which implies a longer thermal time constant to heat/cool.frontrangeleaf wrote: ↑Wed Sep 11, 2019 7:23 amNot bigger but several hundred pounds heavier. Definitely more thermal mass. More mass period. Same surface area.
Which with rapid-gate could mean they needed a fan......... maybelorenfb wrote: ↑Wed Sep 11, 2019 8:53 amCorrect, which implies a longer thermal time constant to heat/cool.frontrangeleaf wrote: ↑Wed Sep 11, 2019 7:23 amNot bigger but several hundred pounds heavier.
