Lucid does seem to have some magic juice regarding tech, that surpasses Porsche and Tesla. I would love to have 500 miles of range. Question is if the small motors will last, or break. Time will show.
doesent matter to me tho, the lucid is so ugly, I could never buy one.
I think Elon mentioned, that with the Plaid, the rotation of the motor was so fast, that Tesla has to develop a new ceramic plating- or something like that to prevent the motor from simply selfdestruct due to the centrifugal forces.
I think Tesla could have opted for a 2 gear solution instead...
Tesla Bjørn actually did some testing and meassured with/without glass- see link below.
His meassurements show very little real life difference in noise.
Scheme at 9.07 min.
I was adviced against it by the dealer. They said that the glass is effective against wind-noise, but most of the noise in the cabin is from the wheels, where the glass has little effect.
I havent tried both, so have no actual data.
I think Porsche should have data from tests with/without...
The delay has nothing to do with current supply chain problems, i.e. chip and batteries. The fact is that the performance data on the readster simply can not be reached with the current battery tech unless you utterly destroy the car with a double layer of 2170 cells. Try fitting 170-200kw of...
Yeah, boring exterior, and non appealing interior. Also, very few preorders, think about 20.000 deposits, which I sent even real orders.. I doubt the company will survive, but the tech can be bought out by Tesla.
thank you for the feedback. It seems that everyone agrees matrix light are great at smaller roads, mountain roads etc, but there also seems to be reservations regarding useability on highway.
can some of you elaborate on matrix light useability on highways, which is the main interest for me?
I have been looking info this option, and understand the function. to me the main interest is the on paper ability to drive with the high beam light on under all conditions, as the light will automatically adjust to cars coming against you, so they are not blinded. That contrary to PDLS +, which...
4 pieces of plastic and 10mm extra height from a software Update.
most overprised and worthless upgrade- I thought it was a joke, and still consider it so.
Hi Luke,
I was wondering which motors are in the basic ct4. It has the same hp as the rwd, but motors both front and rear for 4wd. I Would guess that the basic ct4 has the same setup as the 4s version, but with hp limited in software.
do you know if the basic ct4 has the same physical motors...
there is another thread with some objective information. The RAS reduces the turning circle with about 7 %. This does not seem significant to me, and I would personally consider the 360degree camera as a better option for close parking, turning etc. Inside a city.
I don’t think the chrono pack...
I would seriously consider the performance battery from a resale and value perspective.
I dont know the prices in the US, but here en Denmark- and for comparison- the Old Tesla model S with the 75kw battery pack are very difficult to sell, and has taken er huge hit in depreciation even...
I am Also Danish, and looking into purchasing a taycan.
here is my consideration regarding value.
this Sommer the ct4 will arrive with the 21 updates. This car seems to be so much better value than the 4s, if you look at the price, which is why have decided to wait until the autumn to buy a...
Seems the ct4 is better value. If you compare the rwd with the ct4 the cost difference is 11000. For that money you get the larger battery, air suspension, 4 wheel drive and the larger car. Only downside is less hp, but what motors are on the basic ct4? maybe it’s the same 180kw motors as on the...
