german equivalent of a highway

yes

I’ll do 155 mph on a highway

with speed limits sometimes but not everytime

Maybe not on 101, but I’d have to check it out to see how it feels in a camero

I could certainly hit 155 on parts of 101

As for I-5...

gib gib gib

150mph was the fastest I ever witnessed while in the car lol

dad's on the waitlist for the roadster 2020, I wanna see 250 mph on I-5

400kph thats insane

1.9 second 0-60

oh right a tesla

ja

I'd certainly like to gives this one a try

and it might get RCS

although I'm not sure he understands physics

The CEO mentioned a potential 3 Gs of thrust:

“If you have 3 Gs of thrust, you can go in any direction. You can go up and accelerate with still more than 2 Gs.”

better take your pressure suit lel

eh, 3gs isn't gonna make you black out

how is acceleration managed? If you put the foot down it just shoots?

basically

I've gotten to drive our teslas before, and that's basically how it works

oof I hope the elderly arent too interested in teslas

it's kinda weird, you get to move as soon as you think about it instead of waiting for anything to rev/shift

eh, some of them are

besides, the autopilot is pretty good

and the lower end teslas don't have quite that nuts acceleration

I also imagine that high speed drain the battery much quicker?

huh, 3.2 second 0-60 on the model 3 for $50k

yeah, same goes for gas tanks though

true

because drag is a function of velocity squared

so if you go twice as fast you have to provide 4x as much torque to maintain your speed

*We live in an atmosphere!*

high speed fucks electric vehicles more than ICE for range because of the lack of transmissions

?

how do you mean

ICE is often geared specifically for high speed economy, that's why ford are dumping that 10spd into mustangs
