Running no point.

That is a hilarious amount of power. What tyres does a model 3 performance run?

I really think a multi speed gearbox is a good idea to stop these things running out of puff at 80.

e: I realise this is going to trigger speed limits guy. Oh well.

I like that the concept of the speed limit is so eroded that laws contradict eachother with no problem in 5 states.

Technically the left lane could be for people going exactly the speed limit.

Defensive driving requires that you do a lot more than assume everyone is following the letter of the law, hth

Refusing to let others pass you creates a problem because you are refusing to create safer driving conditions out of a feeling that speeders need to be punished. But your job is not to punish speeders, it's to drive safely, and that means pulling into the right lane to let others pass you

To add to that, would you rather have the problem child *right behind you* or somewhere out in front where they either go away, or you can at least keep an eye on them?

You shouldn't have to move over if you're doing the speed limit, since there is no way anyone could legally pass you.

It sounds like you're saying that people following the law are a problem because they make people who break the law mad. Why do we placate dangerous drivers so much? If everyone drives 80, make the speed limit 80. But send tickets to anyone going >=81.

I'd buy it, but I question if the P3D even has enough overhead available to unlock a meaningful improvement out of it. Although I suppose the S Plaid pulling 1020 HP out of a 100 kWh pack could indicate that it is remotely possible because that is a higher relative discharge rate (7.6C) than the 3 Performance is pulling from its pack (5.5C). If you could get the same relative discharge rate out of a 3 Performance pack it would be somewhere in the neighborhood of 750 HP which sounds pretty unlikely to me.

The battery can probably do more than the amp rating on the motors.

Depending on the car, you probably just freed up a poo poo ton of space in engine compartment when that motor is placed where the transmission used to be. 570 mm is what? 18 inches long? You then have all that weight gone from the front as well, so might as well replace the lump of steel with lumps of lithium.

Mach-E GT and Kia EV6 GT are the two cars I’m most interested in despite having no need to rocket off the line I just want the option. Or possibly a Tesla with that dlc update or whatever.

I need to test drive all 3 but that won’t be possible for quite a while due to demand I’m sure.

The only thing I don't potentially like about the EV6 is it looks like the center console is tall and wide enough to interfere with my manspreading.


The Mach, and especially the Ioniq 5, look a lot more open and airy down there where my knee will be. Who knows if/when/how much on the Ioniq 5 N that would be a GT competitor though.

Yah the kia/Hyundai choice comes down to personal taste in their design decisions with most of the underlying stuff being the same so I like having the option! I’m more on the Kia design philosophy side and like the enclosed console personally but the ioniq 5 is really nice too.

Apparently you can put deposits down on non-GT EV6s in Canada but you have to go into the dealership to do it instead of just doing it online so I’m much less interested than having to have a chat with a sales guy named chad or taylor about it

You can move the center console around. At least on most trims. Unless they only made that feature on the Ioniq 5. I don't think so though. You can exit either side of the vehicle

Edit: I might be wrong. I'll have to watch the videos again. That's one of the coolest features of the Ioniq5 :psyduck:

The ioniq 5 only has it on the top trim in some countries....just like basically every other headline feature. The ev6 did not advertise it at all, so it's probably safe to say it doesn't move at least to the same extent

Not a clue, since that’s a teaser of an announcement they’ll be making at SEMA. Like it says.
I know what you mean, but really, anything will work with a manual gearbox - with the necessary adapters. I can’t tell from the drawings of it has an integrated gearbox or not. Another gearbox may not be necessary regardless.
I’m wondering if they’re using the same motor as the Lightning or Mach-E with a standalone controller, and what kind of interface and telemetry it’ll support.

That remains to be seen as well. Really, *that’s* the bigger issue with most conversions. There needs to be a modular battery pack system so the car won’t need to be (as) hacked up to convert it, and still retain OE cargo space.
