a very interesting writeup.
ex:
Tesla says tyres for a high-performance electric vehicle are challenged in a way that those on a car powered by an internal combustion engine (ICE) are not. A two-wheel-drive Model 3 with a long-range battery weighs just over 1700kg, so tyres have to cope with high loads as well as a 155mph top speed (for dual motor versions) plus continual torque input, either when accelerating or during regenerative braking.
- Latteland 8y agothat is an interesting point. You could have a heavy fast ice car, but probably not with the instance torque.
