Even with the power to weight equalized at the wheel, after the compensated figure (WHP), the Tesla and many other similarly equipped BEV have a simple and huge advantage over ICE cars in that the most of these BEV have nearly 100% of the torque available from zero rpm. This is VERY different from ICE engines where the peak torque is limited at very specific range of engine rpm.Another reason to be very skeptical of this guy's claims is that in fact the energy lost in Tesla's one gear "transmission" is markedly less than the energy loss associated with the 90° torque translation in traditional differentials and drive shafts. This is part of the reason (but not the whole reason) why Teslas accelerate faster than their power to weight ratio would suggest they could (and why their WHP ratings show less % drop than ICE vehicles, relative to engine/motor BHP) – they're losing only a few percent (vs. 14-20% in some 4 wheel drive systems) because you're never changing the plane of rotation from the motor to the wheels. That 90° Torque translation in a traditional transmission with many gears plus a differential costs way more energy, which is of course lost in terms of extra heat, whereas in the gear reduction in a Model 3 it's probably a few percent. That probably just means there's just a whole lot less heat to worry about in the transmission. This claim that our cars need this finned oil filter, as you said especially for street, is nonsense. I'm even skeptical that it's necessary on the track. I doubt even tracking gets the oil temp high enough to start breaking it down but without Data who knows. Obviously different story around the motor and battery.
So in the first stage, Tesla can outpace the ICE car at launch where the BEV can pretty much unload am entire peak torque minus traction control compensation to the tire's maximum adhesion. This is where a car like the Plaid can leave a gas car by almost 1 second, hence it's 0-60 being just over 2 seconds. While most all ICE cars need nearly 3 seconds, regardless of maximum power. There is that nearly 1 second where the clutch has to be slipped, and tires must be calmed, set, and whole driveline stabilized from the process of trying to mate a spinning engine at like 4500rpm to a set of stopped wheels...This latter is a very explosive, inefficient, and messy process compared to BEV when it comes to contact patch management at launch.
Underway, the BEV of course has no pauses in acceleration or duration where the engine is outside of peak torque range like in the case of ICE that have to repeat the engage/disengage process slightly for every shift that needs to take place. Modern DCT transmissions have reduced this inefficacy greatly these days, but it isn't anything close to the efficacy of having no gear change at all.
So yes, lots of variables.
But my point was because there are no gear changes, and one-speed reduction gearbox is constantly having a load instead of being a part-time load like in a ICE engine and transmission, the wear and heat at the specific gear teeth are pretty high. Now exactly how effective the Enduro cooler-filter I have yet to really generate numbers, but since it is part of the same fluid temp, exchanged at the system heat exchanger loop that keeps batteries and motors in check...anything to dissipate any heat is a good thing unless we are in extreme cold. I think.
