The P3D is a direct competitor to these ///M, AMG and QV cars... all of them are family saloon cars that you can take to the track. It’s awesome that Tesla has the chops to compete and even beat cars with a more celebrated history in Motorsport and racing on their first foray into this segment. But to try to convince yourself that it was an unfair comparison from the start ... family saloon vs track monster... is just disingenuous.
A criticism of the P3D is that it isn’t special enough in terms of go-fast bits. Imagine what the P3D could do if it actually had a well sorted suspension setup and wasn’t running on frisbees. New BMW m3 is coming with awd... hopefully Tesla can update our cars to maintain the edge.
Torque isn't really relevant to the speed/acceleration, power is the factor. (A water wheel may have a HUGE torque, but it won't go very fast)Despite rumor an electric motor isnt perfectly efficient at all RPMs and doesnt produce max torque all the time.
They are currently geared with a single gear for the whole rev range as a best cover all solution because you can. Its not optimal for every speed.
afadeev said:C63s and ///M3 are both about 50% cheaper to insurance than Tesla Model 3 Performance.
Many theories as to why, but that's how it is.
Sadly.
Not sure I believe this. I just traded in a 2018 Audi S5 Prestige with almost all options for a 2019 Model 3 Performance with every box ticked, and my insurance went down considerably. From $900 to roughly $680 every six months. USAA insurance carrier, perfect record, married, excellent credit.
I find it a tad hard to believe the M3 or (especially) C63 AMG would be less expensive to insure than my S5 was, but I guess I could be wrong.
