@@RaynorM Well thanks for the well thought out reply. I feel like picking on the few small gags that Tesla's have just to make the customer smile, is a little disingenuous. I've seen people have tons of fun with those little features. I could hand on heart say I would absolutely take a Model S Plaid over any other car on the market - to the vast majority of regular people it's just better than everything else. Not to mention it's a beautiful car. There's a reason the Model 3 and Model Y are now the best selling vehicles in several countries - and that lead is increasing rapidly. Consumers have finally figured out that electric is just superior. Even many 'car guys' I've met are starting to admit this. They're starting to admit that pistons, cylinders, oil, bearings etc. seems a little ridiculous at this point. 90% of people don't want that anxiety of having 'mechanical sympathy' when constantly engaging their clutch during slow traffic, or not doing an oil change exactly on time. Also one the best things about buying a Tesla is NOT having to deal with dealerships. You can always go to a Tesla showroom though if you want to. I think we'll agree to disagree. Cheers!

[@lelandlewis7207]

"They've gone to plaid!" There's an old saying, "HP sells engines, torque wins races." Electrics, with a flat torque curve through the RPM range, prove it. While the gas engine is building torque, the electric is making torque.

[@wickedhouston5538]

still gay

[@Ezgera]

Actually the saying is pretty much bullshit. Torque doesn't get you anything. More torque will not let you accelerate faster. More hp will. An engine with a lot of torque at low RPM will have more hp at said low RPM than another one that has less torque at the same RPM. But torque is not power and torque does not give you better 0-60 times. The Plaid does not have that much more torque than the old Raven did. What it does have is more power, especially at higher motor RPM. This is why it is faster. Not some max torque number.

[@lelandlewis7207]

@@Ezgera Actually, torque does everything. Torque is the ability to do work, so it is what moves the vehicle, giving your launch and acceleration and combined with RPM is what gives you horsepower. There are only 2 ways to increase horsepower; make more torque at a given RPM or raise the RPM that max torque is made. Without torque, there is no horsepower. Horsepower is work done over time. Electric motors make max torque from stop through the whole RPM range, which is what makes the "power" you mention. Since their torque does not fall off, the HP will keep building, whereas a fuel engine has to build torque to max at a certain RPM and then it drops off. After the torque peak is when HP helps as it will build to its peak due to the torque still being high enough to keep HP building due to RPM until HP drops due to torque being too low to support horsepower increase. This is why engine builders are trying for a flat torque curve, the longer you hold high torque, the more HP you can make.

[@Ezgera]

@@lelandlewis7207 The torque of most electric motors will fall off at higher RPM. Electric motors in cars are very rarely the perfect theoretical electric motor. This is also why the Plaid is so mich faster than the older Raven. Yes, one can argue that it keeps more torque at higher RPM. But really it is the resulting ability to stay at max power output until the end of the RPM range that is important. It is a chicken and egg issue. Of course you need torque to have hp. But hp is the unit that displays power - which equals work (f.e. acceleation) the motor can do. Torque is just the potential for the motor to do something, the potential to turn the wheel with a given force.

[@lelandlewis7207]

​@@Ezgera HP is a function of torque, it is torque that does work, not HP. You seem to be missing the point, an electric motor makes full torque from stop (almost stop) and the fuel engine doesn't. Yes, torque does drop on an electric, but that means it has passed its efficiency range, but before that, it is a pretty much flat curve. The fuel engine's curve starts low, builds to a peak and then drops off. It is the flat torque curve that is the advantage, not high RPM. That is also what makes the LS engine so good, GM flattened the torque curve compared to early engines. But, it still takes RPM to generate maximum HP. Once again, HP is work done over time. The formula is Horsepower (HP) = (Torque × Speed)/5252. No torque, no HP. More torque, more HP. That is why a dyno measures torque and calculates HP. The Plaid makes massive torque and that translates to HP, but most of the world has gone to watts, which gives a more equal rating of different engines/motors. Just as an example of its torque, here is a quote, "It turns out there's a good reason why we haven't seen the Model S Plaid hit the dyno yet: the amount of instant torque it generates is so insane, operators are worried it could break the dyno." The man who wanted his Plaid tested was turned down by some dyno owners. Look at an LS6. At 2500 it makes about 380 lb-ft of torque, that is about 220 HP, at the flywheel, less at the wheels. It peaks at 470 lb-ft at 4800, and HP peaks at 550 at 6400. At about 2000, it only makes a couple of hundred lb-ft of torque and about 80 HP, the plaid is already at almost full torque. The Plaid is rated at the wheels. I couldn't find a good dyno test sheet with torque because North Americans are so stuck on HP numbers, but it makes over 800 lb-ft almost from stop. From an article: "According to the video, the peak power output registered at the wheel hubs was 1101.2 HP, while the peak torque was 905.4 lb-ft" According to Tesla and the sheet from this test, it holds power from 80 to 200 mph. The dyno and car owner only talked about the massive torque all the way from the launch, not HP. The other point is that a "flat" curve isn't a straight line, it does have a low and high, but they are much closer than a hyperbolic curve of early engines. The above LS engine goes from 380 to 450 to 380 over 3500 RPM (3000 - 6500), that is a very flat curve for an engine. A Tesla's usable torque curve starts at almost idle (stop) where it is already making hundreds of lb-ft to almost peak RPM (20,000 for the Plaid). If torque is not important, them why is a diesel engine of only 400HP able to haul tons of truck and load? Massive torque. Strokers increase torque; blowers increase torque; compression increases torque; cams change the torque curve; headers, manifolds, carburetors change torque; port and valve size changes torque; that is how they change HP. I'll rely on my 40+ years of engine building and winning races by matching the torque curve to the car and its use. Torque accelerates the vehicle, HP shows top-end ability, basically, it shows where the torque and RPM stops generating power. Once torque drops below a certain point, RPM can't generate more HP, the vehicle loses power quickly and slows down.

Each 1/4 mile and return to start area takes about 3-4% of the battery. So assuming you want to leave a chunk of battery for contingency and to make it comfortably to a fast charger on the way home (or straight home), you can do about 20 runs. Performance will drop off as bettery gets under 75% or so, but will still be beating most other cars.

Can't see ever going back to gas powered cars. When I first picked up the Tesla had 4 family members in it with me and some guy in a mustang was revving his engine at a light next to me (totally clueless about EV's). Told everyone to hold on for a bit. Light turned green and in less than 2 blocks I was going 111mph and the mustang was about a block behind.

From what i understand, the Tesla needs a charge after 3 races. It may be faster, but battery power just isnt enough to compete with duration of power. What im saying is you can go twice as far with 1/30 the time. You can take the lambo for a 250 mile road trip, stop for 5 minutes to fill the tank and go another 250 miles while the Tesla, even with high speed charging still takes a full hour to charge.

@@SebastianLong Quick question, when is the last time you drove 250 miles, stopped five minutes to refuel, then immediately drove another 250 miles? Exactly, you never have! Nobody does that!

Someone will need to eat. Someone will need to stretch their legs. So yes, lovely, we all know gas cars refuel in a few minutes and can be on their way.

@@aquicklad972 Let's be honest: you've never been inside a Model X plaid, a Lambo of any kind nor a Bugatti, so you have absolutely no clue which would be more comfortable. Neither have I. With that said, I'd argue that a Lambo isn't designed for comfort or practicality. It's designed for speed and staying clamped to the ground through turns. You're certainly not throwing 5 people in a Lambo and going anywhere! You can fit 2 people and maybe a toothbrush, that's it! And you're in a reclined position. I'm not sure how on earth that's supposed to be more comfortable than the roomy experience of an SUV.

The straight-line performance of the Teslas is extremely impressive. In the olden days real car guys used to criticize American muscle cars for being quick in a straight line, but nothing else. A *production* (unmodified) Tesla Plaid cannot even complete a single lap of most race tracks due to overheating issues. Almost any performance car would eat the Model X alive on, say, the Nurburgring. That's not to take anything away from the awesome short-term acceleration these EVs can do, but they aren't competitive against a Lamborghini in the environment that those cars are built for (i.e., road circuit racing, not drag racing).
