How did your ICE do individual wheel torque vectoring with only one motor?
Audi offers an active rear "Sports Differential" that can vector torque left/right. I believe Acura's SH-AWD does something similar. It uses additional gears and clutches to redistribute torque between the rear wheels.
It feels like the hand of God reaches down and helps push the car from one side around corners. Subtle, but to someone used to driving cars on a track near the limit it was simply astonishing in its ability to literally change the law of physics that govern handling. It's superior to brake induced stability control as it doesn't require power to be cut, a real buzz kill in the Model S.
Here's a video explaining how it works.
Tesla could potentially offer the same, replacing the open differential from the rear motor to the half shafts with an active one, assuming they have the time and resources to develop it or can license it from someone and can make it fit (it's going to be larger). I don't think it's common enough yet that you can buy it off the shelf from a supplier, like Continental.
Apologies if posted elsewhere already. I was very impressed. Shows the exciting future of when true Tesla competition emerges.
Video here:
Mercedes SLS Electric Drive. Can Volts Ever Match Pistons? - /CHRIS HARRIS ON CARS - YouTube
Surprised at his comments on electric vehicle range saying the 200km range of the car in the story is good which, he added, "...is still a long way given that I'm not used to electric cars having any range whatsoever."
I guess he's not heard of Tesla.
Again, look at the date on that video. April 2013. 2.5 years ago. Few people in the UK had even seen a Model S yet, let alone driven one.
You're looking at a historical footnote that will be long forgotten in the EV timeline.
