    Evidenceless claims can be dismissed without evidence.

    Max power at high speeds

    You forgot to show some actual evidence. Probably? You forgot to show some actual evidence, again. Show me some actual evidence and I will believe you. Tesla P100D: 0 to 100 MPH (about 161 KPH) in 6.0 seconds. The 2017 Tesla Model S P100D and the 0-100-0 Test - Motor Trend Also, the 60 MPH to...

    Max power at high speeds

    Claims made without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence. Asking me to find evidence to support your claim is typical of obscurantists everywhere. Adding a smiley face to a counterfactual claim does not magically reduce the counterfactual content. Show where a stock Kia out...

    Max power at high speeds

    Correct, and that is true of all magnetic (wound coil) motors. The only potential advantage to a permanent magnet motor is slightly higher efficiency since the permanent magnets do not require any energy to operate. Three phase induction motors are asynchronous while three phase permanent magnet...

    Max power at high speeds

    That is correct. As the RPM increases the back EMP increases proportionally and that reduces the voltage across the motor's windings, thus reducing the possible output power. As the RPM increases that causes the back EMF to approach the battery voltage and when the back EMF and battery voltage...

    Obvious BS is obvious. Show some actual evidence.

    Home made jack pad for Model S

    Why would anyone want an ionized surface? That would just make it more reactive and the ionization would not last long at all.

    Horsepower & torque specs?

    Perhaps you misunderstood the intent of my original statement: "... the torque and power for a P100D in Ludicrous Plus Mode are substantially higher than what that chart shows" The referenced chart lists the maximum battery power as being 461KW, which is low by over 100KW(!) for a fully...

    Towing an Airstream with the Model S 100D

    The Model S Owner's Manual clearly states that the Model S is not designed to tow anything. Of course the manufacturer's recommendations simply do not affect some people. On the other hand the Model X *is* certified for towing. From Page 160 in the Model S Owner's Manual: Towing a Trailer...

    P100D without Ludicrous

    Note that a Tesla Model S P100D without Ludicrous Mode is not really equivalent to the 100D since the former has two drive motors and inverters while the latter only has one of each. Hence, don't expect to achieve the same range with a P100D without Ludicrous Mode as a 100D.

    Horsepower & torque specs?

    The referenced chart above (View attachment 271707) is incorrect. It is showing data for Ludicrous mode mixed with acceleration times for Ludicrous Plus Mode. "... Tesla being able to pull 1500 amps from a battery pack for a P100D." Actually, in Ludicrous Plus Mode a P100D pulls about 1,750...

    Tesla Model S 22" rims

    So you never plan on driving up or down a hill or even turning around a street corner? What about freeway speeds and banked turns? If you keep the car in a garage or up on blocks and never drive it you would be just fine though.

    Mission E comparison

    KW is in units Power as correctly stated above, while KWH is actually Energy. Having X KWH of energy available says absolutely nothing about the maximum amount of power available. For example, you can use a very small electric motor to spin up a heavy flywheel and that would require X amount...

    Horsepower & torque specs?

    The torque at the wheels is actually in the thousands of pound-feet and their stated torque is unlikely to even be correct at the motor shafts. There is way too much botched in their measurements to take very seriously. Look at all of the failed attempts before they were able to get any...
