4416 / 8 would mean 552 per module.
How to divide that and come to a practical module voltage?
If 3.7V, 2042/6 = 340V. That's 92 in series, 6x parallel. 4.1V makes it 376V
552 divided by 5 doesn't work.
138 x 4 makes 500+V per module.
Or are some modules linked in series, coming to a lower module voltage than reaches the motor(s)?
Not a huge factor at 120kph, but Ioniq 31kWh is 1420kg. Don't be shocked if the 75kWh Model 3 is over 1700, even 1800kg.
But the highway cruising will be likely awesome with Model 3. How that translates into convenient supre-range road trips will largely depend on charging speed. At the same, say, 100kW, the Model 3 adds range 10-15% quicker perhaps. But will it add kW's as fast? Model S/X need to remain top dog, and Tesla is known to limit convenience/value through software. It would not be cool if Model 3 were to prove quicker over long distances. Like that US coast to coast thing. Or Norway's South to North Cape.

While Ioniq will likely lose on highway air drag versus Model 3, it does have a (weaker) pernanent magnet motor. This alone could improve consumption considerably, Tesla motors are NOT that efficient in the market. They go far because of big batteries and slick aero. Now a Model 3 with Ioniq battery and drivetrain... Even if just (doubled) 61kWh, it would charge at 140kW peak. Probably beat Model S 100D on most road trips, if it could use superchargers, or a future CCS network.New Hyundai Ioniq EV roughly the same size as Model 3 gets as low as 140Wh/km on the highway. That would be 520km highway range with the Model 3! Also Model 3 can be more efficient than the Ioniq. Very eager to see results.
