[@lachlanB323]

@@erwinmonti5066 What if the Roadster has 2000hp+? VERY achievable for Tesla to do. At that point the only way to win is to have better tires but then it isn't about the car anymore. It is easy for Full ev's to increase HP literally just need to add more motors. The problem ev's face is range unlike a petrol car where you can just add a bigger fuel tank for an ev it isn't that simple. However the range issue is going away. Why don't you test drive a Tesla? They're safer, require almost zero maintenance (Until 600k miles when you replace the battery). So you can use an ev for over 100k miles with no service while a petrol car wouldn't even function as you need oil changes brake repairs etc. EV's have regen braking which uses the motors.

more capacity means more battery cell strings put into parallel. parallel'd battery strings stacks current capability (as well as range/capacity). chopping some of the capacity would also cut the current output of the entire pack.

[@carmispicer9440]

Thank you for bringing the knowledge. Electric has commonality with ICE in that everything is a compromise. Gotta find balance!

[@air-headedaviator1805]

Doubt its capable by anyone know, but I wonder how much power they could push if they rewired the stock battery into series 0_o Probably isn’t that simple anyway

[@ame7165]

@@air-headedaviator1805 voltage would go up, but current would drop to nothing, and it would fry the motor control and charging hardware. even if it did support such a voltage, you'd get increased max rpm, but reduced stall torque, and that's what makes these teslas rocket out of the hole. tesla probably spends quite a bit of thought balancing these metrics
