Tesla has some proprietary battery tech they acquired from Maxwell that could give them a major advantage for a long time. If they can actually get the gains Maxwell claimed in the patent studies.

They also have the patent on Jeff Dahn's work. That may give them batteries that go over 1 million miles. While interesting for cars, this is probably more important for the Tesla's truck and energy storage businesses.
Your sig says Raleigh. There’s a service center in Raleigh...

The largest wheel available on a Model 3 performance is 20", not 21".
The EPA rating for the 2020 Performance model with the 20" wheels is 299 miles.
Are you just making stuff up as you going along in this thread?

Nope, 2018 Tesla Model 3 Performance range was 15% less than aero wheels
11 pages of discussion on a car that doesn’t exist from a company that doesn’t know anything about building successful EVs. Wow.

Nope what? You said the model 3 performance gets 20-30% less range down to about 250 miles with 21" wheels.
That's flat out wrong on multiple levels and regardless of model year (which you didn't specify).
Model 3 performance doesn't come with 21" wheels.
Model 3 performance doesn't have 250 miles of EPA rated range, regardless of year or wheel configuration.
Also, the image you tried to link doesn't work.

I can't "see" anything. Your image doesn't work. Moving the goalposts now? First is was 250 miles, now it's 270? lol
Just give up man and admit you were wrong.

What are we arguing here? That Tesla/EPA set lofty goalposts or that Ford might just be honest regarding range and best case under promise and over deliver.

Don’t worry about it. Its some chart he dug up because it makes him feel better about his decision to buy the “mustang”. Which it not a damn mustang. Ford is hopeful that dragging that name out will entice people to buy. Its a travesty.Nope what? You said the model 3 performance gets 20-30% less range down to about 250 miles with 21" wheels.

The Mach E looks great and has some very impressive specs. Glad to see a major manufacturer make a serious EV that isn’t a weird mobile like the BMW i3. However, until other fast charging networks start to rival Tesla’s supercharging network I will never, ever, ever consider an EV from another brand. I just checked my supercharging history and I haven’t visited one in over 6 months so I’m obviously not a heavy supercharger user. However knowing that I have access to the most expansive fast charging network for my handful of road trips a year is a huge deal to me and I’m sure many others.

Hey i applaud the appearance of them getting in the EV game. But its ugly and should never have been called a Mustang let alone soil the Mach designation, its an SUV for crying out loud. Here is the difference, dealerships are going to mark this thing up like there is no tomorrow. Good luck getting one at MSRP unless the tax rebate gets it there, hell thats probably exactly what they will claim too. Price for the top of the line GT is supposed to be just north of 60K and that gets you a 0-60 mid 3second and a range of 300 tops. Now we all know the real world range will be lower so by those data points Tesla has them beat. Also how many of these are they making per year?
