[@AlexEMF]

I had the same question as you, but here's how I can make sense of it: 1st, the Tesla guy floored the break immediately after hitting the finish line. The McLaren guy was trying to win that he delayed his breaking just a bit. 2nd, the McLaren was going like 3 or 4 mph more.

You can actually see it clearly on the reply. The plaid started breaking even before passing the finish line whereas the McLaren kept going.

Tesla has regen braking as soon as you let go of accelerator and all that energy goes back to the battery

[@danmyers9372]

@@jmoneyyy2116- The regen charges the batteries but does nothing to aid braking. The braking on the Plaids is marginal at best for the weight and speed they can go. If the Tesla owner hadn’t hit the brakes right at the finish line and instead braked at the same point the 720 I guarantee you would have seen a Tesla totaled and likely several passengers injured.

[@sepg5084]

@@Dirty88Dizl they are pretty simple and complex at the same time. Drawing from my experience in playing with Tamiya 4WD and RC cars, things driven by electric motors go faster if their electromagnetic coils can generate stronger fields and if their batteries can supply the needed power to do so. Thicker coil wire usually result in higher torque but also result in higher current draw, so you'd need batteries that have a higher mAh rating. If the motors use permanent magnets then stronger permanent magnets could make stronger motors too. What makes electric vehicles complex are the control electronics, and electric cars have more complex things going on vs. RC cars. RC cars don't have traction control, abs, stability control, etc.

[@notsam498]

I was shocked it did so well after 100. Off the line its a no brainier. You have to know that the McLaren would lose the first few hundred feet no doubts. Hp doesn't work out the same in electric cars. When they say 1000 it's a really distorted number. Sae horse power is a metric designed for engines. even then its kinda a marketing wank. The real insights come in the torque vs wheel RPM not converting torque into a number divided by RPM. This is where the distorted numbers on high revving engines vs low revving high torque engines come in. If you think about it, even the engine rpms don't matter if you keep the gearing in the power curve. In a engine this is really hard to do. The Tesla doesn't need to mess around with gear ratios because it can almost directly translate motor RPM to the drive shaft. Gearing very close to the peak power band is nearly impossible down low if you want a car that also has a high top speed. For that McLaren to be at peak torque the turbos need to be at nominal boost no matter how much launch control tries to get that, it will what's struggle to keep it there.

I work on industrial sites. 600v and 30 amps, you should see how fast a 10 ft round impeller fan built out of 1/4" steel starts and gets to full speed. Almost instantly.
