    Model 3 to start at 60kWh

    Ok so they use a smaller less powerful motor, that would require a smaller gear, to achieve the same top speed as a larger one. This would come at the expense of acceleration. The end result is a more efficient car (all things being equal) that is able to reach the same speeds but at a slower...

    Model 3 to start at 60kWh

    Maybe maybe not, either way none of that disputes the fact that chevy went for efficiency over acceleration per several interviews with their engineers. I just mentioned several ways they could go about it considering cd wasn't better than the model 3 and their inverters and battery packs likely...

    Model 3 to start at 60kWh

    Electric or not they still use a single speed transmission, the size of the single gear will absolutely determine the accreditation/efficiency. A smaller gear you can run more efficiently at speed all things being equal, smaller gear you lose efficiency but gain acceleration, or vice versa lol...

    Model 3 to start at 60kWh

    It's possible the batteries are 58-59KW and they are going to badge them as 60. That would mean they are still under 60 as stated. Also As far as efficiency goes compared to the Bolt, Chevrolet tuned them more for efficacy over acceleration whereas Tesla opts more for acceleration. That could...

    Model 3 RC sightings

    Not advocating one way or the other, but <100 could very well be at launch. I've seen several guestimates using only RWD to make it to under 100 and we all know AWD is an option. Either way I don't think the <100 configurations is a sure sign to exclude anything.... but I "could" be compleatly...

    Model 3 Mule Sightings

    I was not a fan of the pop down cup holders, so I'm glad to see they've changed that. I also hope there are more traditional physical buttons on the steering wheel like the S and X, and not just those two ball things like the latest Alpha viewings. Something like a dedicated volume and...
