No one is going to have a battery breakthrough It will be into the 30's by the time we see 1000Wh/kg Roadster will be about 2000kg and similar to a Veyron driving wise It wont be taking on Mclaren Senna etc on the tracks, it's not possible

The latter Cycle life will suffer greatly It will be years before Tesla use Cobalt free batteries Panasonic have massive Cobalt code contracts till 2022

Thats true If its faster than its rival BMW M3 on track, then fair enough, thats a great achievement If its slower from the get go and then much slower after power reduction its a different story Personally I don't think it will be quicker than a BMW M3 At least not high speed tracks After...

Wouldn't bother me at all if Elon didn't say it would be 15% better than equivalent class and then we have power reduction after few mins on track

Its a few seconds a lap on a tiny track, it's a big deal Around a long track like the ring its the equivalent of a BMW M3 doing sub 8 min to BMW 335i in mid 8 mins

Won't complete a lap of the ring without power loss on this evidence A pro racing driver done a lap of the ring flat out in a transit van with no mods besides brake fluid This is disappointing from Tesla Elon with his his 15% faster than equivalent class ( aimed at BMW M3) is going to blow...

Interesting General feeling seems to be Performance 3 could have done with a bit more power Elon really missed a trick here, he could have really stuck it to BMW, Audi, Mercedes etc with a 600bhp sub 3 sec Model 3 Performance is a bit meh I have to say

Is this the standard AWD or AWD-P?

My data is like Elons Made up :)

Elon said it would be faster around a track than all its rivals like M3 He will sadly be eating humble pie imo Not a chance it will lap quicker than a 444bp V8 M3 with its poor top end performance

Are they? Think it needs a good bit more than 450bhp to compete on the track with M3, RS4 etc They all make similar power, weight less and much better power bands with 7-8 speed box

Looks great and all but what power will the AWD-P be making at higher speeds RWD is making 271bhp at 40mph, but by 80mph its down to less than 240bhp AWD-P rival like a BMW M3 will make 440bhp at 140mph AWD-P is probably down from 450bhp to less than 350bhp at 140mph Will get its ass spanked...

Might not be able to answer Will it be quicker around a track than its rivals like BMW M3, Audi RS4 etc based on your test drive? If its not as quick around a track as an RS4 I would be disappointed

Still no clue how they will get 200kWh into the Roadster The Model 3 LR has a pack density of 150wh/kg Scale up to 200kWh and that's over 1300kg of batteries Which is insanity for a supercars Even a 30% improvement over Model 3 is still 1000kg Can't really be more than 500kg pack weight...

That's a pity Hypercars don't want to race I would really love to see the 720s take on the rimac concept one That rimac CEO was really dissing on the Veyron/Laferrari/918 in his youtube appearances Something you dont see Ferrari or McLaren doing to each other Lmao if a little supercar...
