特斯拉軟件新本領 開車中途不可能耗盡電量
The 6.2 version software update, which was announced by Tesla CEO Elon Musk on Thursday during a press conference, includes several new features, including range assurance, an app that communicates in real time with Tesla’s supercharger networks and destination chargers. The app advises drivers when they’re at risk of driving beyond the range of reliable charging locations. Once alerted, a map guides the driver to the closest charger, factoring in elevation and wind speed to determine range with extreme accuracy, Musk said during the call.
本週四的新聞發佈會上，特斯拉首席執行官埃隆o穆斯克發佈了更新版的6.2版本軟件。更新後，該軟件將具有多種新的特色功能，包括一款保障里程的應用，它可以實時與特斯拉的超級充電站網絡及目的地充電樁聯繫。穆斯克在發佈會上說，當特斯拉車可能駛出可靠充電地點的覆蓋範圍時，該軟件將提醒駕駛者注意。一旦發出警示，軟件就會根據車所在的海拔高度、風速等因素，極其精確地判斷里程範圍，提供路線圖，指引司機將車開到距離最近的充電站。
“All the complexity is taken care of automatically. You don’t need to think ahead or do any calculations,” Musk said. “It’s impossible to run out unless you do so intentionally. The car will even double check and you’ll have to say, ‘yes, I’m sure’ twice before it’s possible to actually run out of range.”
“所有複雜操作都會自動完成。您不需要提前考慮，也不需要做任何計算，”穆斯克說，“除非有意爲之，否則駕駛者不可能超出充電的里程範圍。（軟件）甚至會對此複查。在可能超出充電的里程範圍以前，駕駛者將不得不兩次回覆（軟件）：‘是的，我確定。’”Tesla TSLA -2.52% has also added a trip planner that automatically picks a route through the appropriate superchargers if charging is needed. The planner selects the fastest route to the destination and breaks it into three- to four-hour legs between superchargers. Once the vehicle is charged, the car messages the driver via the Tesla phone app.
特斯拉還增加了一款規劃路線的應用。如果需要充電，該應用會自動選擇一條路線，前往適合所在車輛的超級充電站。這款應用會挑選最快到達目的地的路線，並確保每行駛三到四小時就會有一座超級充電站。一完成充電，車就會通過特斯拉的電話應用通知駕駛者。
The route should match up to when a driver would normally want to stop, use the restroom, have a bite to eat or grab a coffee, Musk said.
穆斯克說，這條路線應當符合駕駛者正常的需求，比如考慮到他們可能中途停下車休息、去洗手間、吃點東西或喝杯咖啡。“There’s maybe the rare occasion where someone wants to drive non-stop for 10 hours and wears diapers or something, but that’s unusual,” Musk said. “For almost any trip, the time driven to time charging ratio works out really well.”
“可能在極少數時候，有人想不停歇地連續開十小時車，或者開車時穿了尿布什麼的，但那是不常見的，”穆斯克說。“駕駛時長與充電時間要成比例，這幾乎適用於所有的行程。”The software update should be released to all Model S owners in about 10 days, Musk said.
穆斯克還說，大約十天內，所有特斯拉Model S型車的車主就能使用這款更新版的軟件。
