Handling/weight arguments aside, I'm not sure its apropos to directly compare horsepower figures between an ICE car with a multi-speed gearbox and an electric car with a single reduction gear. Even with the torque advantages of an electric motor, 1,300hp through a single gear does not behave the...

Good stuff Sasha and Cameron. I couldn't resist arguing with some trolls in the comments of the video claiming they weren't impressed with the lap times. They tried to cite a stock Civic Type R rolling on RE71r's running a 1:57 at that track, but I had to point out that the RE's are much...

That may not be a safe assumption. If that were really the case I have to wonder why the max current limit in the firmware is 1200 amps. I can't help but wonder if they are deliberately limiting the power of the 3 until the S/X gets a drivetrain refresh. We will have to wait and see I guess.

His detail of the Model 3 firmware below reveals that the battery is capable of about 480kW, which is something like 640hp. His later breakdown of the inverter shows that two of them should easily be able to handle that much power.

I've said this elsewhere, but I'm curious how much power Tesla will add OTA in the future. According to the firmware hacked by Ingineerix, the battery is capable of delivering over 600hp(480kW). His teardown of the drive unit showed that the inverters should easily be able to handle that.

This guy got his 3 into the 11's according to an Escort performance meter. He is running the 18 inch wheels.

Uh, not sure why this is news. Both of my legacy ICE cars automatically unlock the doors and drunk when I put it in park by default. Its extremely common.
