First, this is not a mss production vehicle even by Tesla's vocabulary.
All these factors exist, but if people presume the same old 2170's in Model 3 today, they're not going to be too great, or not matter.
If you stack up 2 packs to have more power, and you hit the go pedal, ceteris paribus it take the same amount of time for the battery to overheat. The power would still need to go through Tesla motors, and until today they overheat, really quickly.
Every sportcar maker starts out with a weight distribution goal.
High discharge cells tend to do pretty well for longuevity. Look up Chevy Volt degradation discussions by owners.
Tesla is the one company with a publically tainted charging speed reputation, the (2015?) solicone anode cells needing throttling to end up much slower than the 2012 cells of the Model S. Not what people signed up for when they got a 90 in stead of an 85.
Volume is of course the big question, since the second they announced it to have 200kWh. 2170's so far deliver only 18-19Wh, and they're famously big. The car is either stuffed with slow contemporary cells, or blessed witth a whole new generation in batttery technology that changes automotive and even aviation as we know it. Which will it be?
Center of gravity (as in vertical) is nice to have low. But Tesla's are not that great at cornering. They just do it nice and flat. More needed in an SUV than a sports car. They're all quite low. And anyway, if you have a 1200kg pack that sits nice and low, you're still going to corner slower than the same car with a lighter pack.
Stopping distance is mostly a factor of total mass and tyres chosen, although you can mess it up with the choice of brakes and suspension.
Top speed is only a real important aspect for a few supercars. The others just pick a speed that works. With the horsepower war at full blastt, many cars could approach or surpass 250mph. The 1992 McLaren F1 that Elon crashed could get reasonably close to that with just over 600hp. And seat 3. No doubt Roadster will be more slick in terms of aero, would need only 700-750hp at most to reach 250mph.
Some see Roadster as a needless distraction. I find it a cool endeavour, but I'd like to understand it better. Always this Tesla haze of facts. So much for open source
