Indeed.What other mid-large OEM has an answer to the Tesla tri-motor Plaid powertrain?
- Single speed no gearbox
- 0 to 20,000 RPM
- Triple permanent magnet motors
- Torque vectoring
- 0 to 200mph capable
- Deliveries starting TODAY
It's literally checkmate to ICE and every other OEM already. Every other vehicle in this price range has to somehow beat this powertrain. Nobody can say they have a quicker and better performing powertrain for a long time. Unless someone can come out with a cheaper alternative, that alternative will be DOA.
And a subtle point, these are actually "Switched Reluctance Permanent Magnet" (SWRPM) motors. The switched reluctance is the hard part.
Lot's of other folks have permanent magnet motors... fewer have SWPRM's, arguably nobody has them in Tesla's class.
