Every time I had to drive from Hannover to Ludwigshafen. Would hit the limiter on a GTi every time. But it really got squirrelly at 230k. On Aug 29, 2021, at 6:29 PM, Anthony Bauco <tbauco [at] gmail.com> wrote:
Sure, it won't be doing the gumball rally run but who drives on public roads at 160 for a half hour? Getting there is one thing…. Staying there is another. An un-geared AC permanent magnet motor at high RPM uses gobs of wattage to maintain that speed, let alone overcome aerodynamic drag. Multiply that by 3 in the Plaid.
Batteries losing that kind of energy in short periods of time get very hot, not to mention the controllers.
Even if the batteries had the energy densities, the systems can’t maintain or mitigate the heat… for long.
Quick, he’ll yeah. Fast, not if your definition involves range. (Legs)
Even in testing, one trip down the drag strip, the systems required a 15 minute reconditioning period before the car could be run again.
On their 0-100-0 run, they beat the McLaren Senna… what they didn’t tell you was the car had to have custom software and even then it sat for 2 hours before it could be driven again.
I don’t think you’ll see them running Silver State. They won’t make it 90 miles at speed.
Don’t get me wrong, the Plaid is impressive, at magazine data.
Could he have caught Clyde, sure. Could he have stayed with him for half an hour. Not without Doc Brown’s Jigawatt reactor. The Model S Plaid is 0-60 in under 2s and has a top speed of 200. If quickness is all that matters, the Tesla will bear most cars.
A Tesla at those speeds has no legs.
Tesla says hi Ok if any of you know the Dodge Challenger crowd please let them know that they can’t out accelerate or out handle a 575. This is an urgent public safety announcement I was coming home from a slot car race on I -75 just north of Tifton Ga when this bubba in a comes up on me. I was doing all of 80 at the time in 6 th gear. With at least 2 plus miles of clear unobstructed on I -175 ( you could land a plane here and yes I would know ) view an no traffic he stays on my bumper even after I move all the way over to the right. Tired of this I down shift to 3rd and floor it, shifting at the high 6 mark. The brick tries to follow, only to be a speck in the rear window. I touched 160 briefly when I realized that was insane.
So please someone go on the red neck web boards and show them a picture of a horse, and tell them when they see this picture they they should not try to play with it! Full throttle acceleration in a 575 is unbelievable. There is nothing like. 12 cylinder, nothing. Except flying a fighter with afterburners. Get used to It Lash….
