"2.1 sec 0-60" run then dust off a GT-R. Charge only went down from 80 to 79%

Mighty impressive. Give me 5 minute recharging capability and I'm onboard with electric.

Will it have hemi topped batteries?

Will it have hemi topped batteries?

I sure hope so...
And I hope it looks like an early Charger!

modified model 3 on the ring:

• 40% charge gone in 1 lap
• regen off to keep battery cooler
• tc off to keep brakes cooler
• suspension modified as OE can't cope
• Brakes modified
• bigger tyres, Michelin cup 2
• cooldown at Breitsheid entrance

Tyres overheated after the carraciola karussell near hohe acht, after which a VW Golf can overtake them.
Reduced power before the small caroussel, due to battery overheating. Both of these will have kept the battery discharge lower.

mods:

• model s rear brakes with uprated pads
• Michelin cup 2 tyres on lightweight wheels 275/35r19
• whole bunch of aftermarket suspension arms
• KW suspension
• massive front brakes 390mm diameter and 34mm thickness

They need a bit more than just tyres and wheels, there's a link in the video to a lap unmodified aswell.



Still an impressive car though

That would be the perfect name . . . and they've had it for 55 years.

Or he could drive steady for two miles on the appx. 0.7 kWh of electricity on the road. Which was built as a path of conveyance for motorists at considerable cost. Then they required rules and licensing to use the path, for safety reasons.

Thats a really quick car.

Mighty impressive. Give me 5 minute recharging capability and I'm onboard with electric.

Scott

I get that.

Fueling flexibility is a trade off however with what is optimal for one is not always for the other.
For the first time since I've been alive there are realistic options available.

If ice vehicles could be filled up every night from my wall outlet I'd be more interested in buying yet another one.

Man these cars are fast! That’s incredible considering many gas cars have a 2 second 60 foot time at a drag strip.

Spot on! Easy and rapid charging, extended range, and batteries that last without degrading and I am sold!!

These cars pull like old school big blocks way beyond what guys are experiencing now in anything other than full blown sports cars that usually get terrible mileage and range

The fact that they get anywhere near the range they do and run as chap as they do is incredible to me.

The cars are really quick. They also handle really well due to the low canter of gravity. And you don't have to get a Plaid to enjoy the incredible driving experience. Any Tesla will do.
Regarding charging, these cars are different. You learn. If you want them to fuel up like an ICE vehicle, well, that ain't gonna happen.

But how many of your ICE cars start each day with a full tank and only visit a gas station on trips of over 200 miles?
None.

Straw man

A straw man is a false proposition...
Curious... Can you post your straw man reasoning?
Personally, I only used a SuperCharger to learn the process. Perhaps 10 minutes in total. Otherwise the car charges at home.

Over 3 years, how much time have you spent fueling your car? Driving to and from a station, waiting in line, fueling?
How many times have you left your garage with a full tank?

My point is, these cars are different. That does not make them bad. "I want 3 minute fill up" means people refuse to consider something different; they refuse to open their mind just a little.
Remember the naysayers when GM went from points to HEI? Open your mind, grasshopper.
Of course, my '68 Vette has points and I wouldn't have it any other way... Ha!
