PMK GRUPO – Kofferraum Organizer Auto Zubehör | Auto Organizer Kofferraumtasche Wasserfest Faltbar und Verstellbar – Orange (WHL #116)

Super quick update from my quest of finding a suitable car trunk organizer: I got a pair of “PMK GRUPO” branded units, and while I very much doubt the claim of them being waterproof, I think I might settle with these and add reinforced plastic bags or similar storage as needed during the trip.

That’s the one (mostly marketing images for today!) – bought for 13.95€ a piece in orange, also available in gray and purple for that price, or one Euro cheaper in all black. Currently the colored ones are on Black Friday sale at 9.95€ – and the Black one isn’t

Anyway, sizing works reasonably well for a Tesla Model S trunk, two of these connected with the latches on their short sides do fit the entire trunk width with ~5cm spacing in between. […]


K KNODEL Kofferraum Organizer, klappbarer Kofferraum-Speicher, Automobilkonsolen und Organizer, Kofferraumspeicherorganizer mit verstärkten Griffe (Mittelgroß, Schwarz) (T021-A) (WHL #115)

While we’re at the somewhat non-technical side of things, let’s quickly talk about trunk (boot) organizers. My old Model S has a spacious trunk at around 750 liters, plus 900 liters with folded back seats, plus another 150 liters in the frunk. Drawbacks include a slight necking at the back seats where the wheel well protrudes; at that point, the trunk width is only 95 to 100cm, compared to up to 140cm at the very end. It’s also a hatchback, which means general access is super easy, but with the aerodynamic tear-drop shape, it’s not that tall for the most part. […]


Pre-Facelift Tesla Model S LED number plate lights real-world testing (WHL #70F1)

We all know who was too busy last week to upload something, and then too lazy to fix that during the entire week…

Well, here’s a very quick but conclusive report about the exchanged number plate lighting on my car. It’s not just brighter by eye or as viewed by the camera, it’s also that much brighter to anything out there swarming around at night that somebody, I do not know their name or preferred pronouns, decided to set up shop just between number plate and lights.

Driving a Tesla Model S and visiting tech museums in Sinsheim and Speyer (#E11)

This week I was on vacation, actually one of the first days of annual leave in 2019. Technically it was only four out of the five days and I visited the company once (for personal gain of myself and others), but I finally got away for significant amount of time. And to make it a fun experience, in additional to figuring out which car to buy, I rented a Tesla Model S 85, 12/2014, equipped with AP1 and Tech Package only. Booked via Turo for an amazing 58€ per day (three days minimum).

Enjoy an incoherent assortment of photos from those three days, in which I visited Technikmuseum Sinsheim and Technikmuseum Speyer (same association, pretty close to each other – 6h+ required each), did some 200km/h on the Autobahn to and from those locations, and generally had a good time. […]
