What are your opinions on hub motors in a future model s and all other electric vehicles in the future? What are the pros and cons of having hub motors and do you think they will eventually become the dominate drive method in the future? Or do you think the 4 independent motors in the middle of...

I am pretty sure I know the answer to this but I just want to hear someone else confirm my beliefs. If you have 2 electric motors, both with a very similar power curve and the following specs are: Motor one: 400hp and geared at 2:1 and rpm redline at 10000 Motor two: 200hp and geared at 4:1 and...

Since tesla announced that they were indeed going to be building a pickup it got me thinking. What specs and capacities would it need to really be competitive? We should use the best selling truck (which also happens to be the best selling vehicle period in the US) the f150. I think tesla should...

Im not trying to use the same thought process as ICE cars in that the smaller the motor, the easier time it has spinning at higher rpm's. But I don't now everything about electric motors but im trying to figure out why the rimac's motors can only rev to 12,000k rpm but teslas car rev to 18000k...

If in the future autonomous safety systems make it so we can safely raise the speed limit or eliminate it all together, what types of roads would it be done on? To me this is what I think. Interstates are obvious, make it like the autobahn and do away with speed limits, this will be fine with...

Before I ask my question just know that this is not me knocking the model s and x as they are not designed to be performance vehicles but daily driven comfortable vehicle that can be really fast in short bursts. Why is tesla's 100kwh battery and systems in the new p100dl limited to 730hp(been...

Me and a friend were talking and I don't know the math. How long would the rimac concept one(1088hp) and concept s(1,365hp) last at full power with their 82kwh battery. I very vaguely remember seeing someone do the math and I can't remember if he was talking about the concept one or concept s...

By in between I mean you can still drive but a computer prevents crashes, moderates traffic when needed, or drives when you want it to. Something similar to my shadow modes idea for those who have seen me explain it.

I love the sound of a high performance ICE, but I could eventually see myself getting on board as a car lover with this sound at some point. And you could hear this sound when you want with out it being artificially generated through speakers (which I think is the dumbest thing ever, I would...

With the first production car on the road using steer by wire, its got me thinking. I feel soon more companies will try this out. So far the one model has gotten bad reviews in any type of driving that not normal traffic driving due to the horrible feedback and it changing steering ratios mid...

We have companies like tsportline for cosmetic upgrades and Saleen claimed to have tuned the model s but didn't touch the battery, motors, or control unit. How long until we have third party companies that offer upgraded batteries and more powerful motors and all the other crap between the two...

If there was a tesla(or any car or truck or any vehicle for that matter) that was fully self driving only, im talking no steering wheel or pedals, would you buy it? There are some people that think that self driving cars will be mandatory within the next 30 years or so but im hoping that at...

Ok there are many people that like to talk up 0-60 times but a lot of people care about what comes after 60, and the fact that the model s (and many other electric cars for that matter) sucks absolute crap after about 80-90 or from a roll. Not surprisingly, this is very apparent when in the...
