... But by your logic the Roadster and Model S and X were compliance cars, only made in small numbers and priced to discourage sales. Tesla was making huge losses on them.
Tesla was/is making a marginal profit on sales of Roadster/S/X.
Who knows for the electric version of the Kona?
Not just an X, but an X with a degraded battery pack.
You can see the Kona's tires in a screenshot from near the start of his second videos. Beyond that, it's just a matter of taking the time to look up the EU labeling info.
Yes, I'm on Slashdot. Who are you over there?
Tesla doesn’t have gas/diesel vehicles to fall back in margin wise. So they have to charge more money for less content.True, but that's what he owns... It's a useful test though, because it demonstrates that the faster supercharging is cancelled out by the Kona's longer range and efficiency. Even when limited to 50kW chargers.
It's essentially two different ways of achieving the same thing. For somewhat similar money you can have a Model 3 with smaller battery but faster charging, or a Kona with longer range but slower charging.
What I find surprising is that Hyundai give you so much more for slightly less money. The Model 3 was stripped right down to save money, absolutely minimal inside and out, and you end up with a 50kWh battery. Maybe the autopilot hardware is costing them a lot, and of course you have to buy it even if you don't want it. I suppose there is the on-going 4G data connection to pay for too, but I prefer to just use my phone with Android Auto.
All I can see is Nexen 215/65r17, do you have the exact model number? Thanks.
You can't guess?
I hope it does well as we do need more EVs on the roads in the states. I wish it were taller though. Trying to talk my parents into an EV but they want ride height.

When you're competing against a huge electric SUV with an outdated powertrain and a nerfed battery, it goes about as fast. Wow, stop the presses, right?
N'FERA SU1.

Interesting. The Kona is a PMSM. Not sure what, if anything, is the difference with a PMSRM.
I think the S in PMSM is synchronous instead of switched.The terms overlap somewhat. PMSM means Permanent Magnet Switched Motor. PMSRM = Permanent Magnet Switched Reluctance Motor. Same basic thing. Another term you'll hear is IPM, Internal Permanent-magnet Motor - which is also a combination of PMs and switched reluctance. But there are lots of variations in the details. They all share the same general properties though, including much higher efficiency than induction motors.

That seems like a good balance in a tyre
If you get an ‘A’ rated tyre for range, what’s the best rating you can get for wet weather?
How much?I have A/A rated tire (Continental eContact) on my 2012 Opel Ampera with dimensions 215/55/R17 and it's the same dimension Kona EV has.
To bad Continental doesn't produce the tire anymore.
