What's the mile range at 250mph?
Also, that picture look cartoon-ish... I wonder if it was modified in any way?
- mikeash 7y agoYou probably achieve the stated range at ~65MPH. Range decreases approximately with the square of the speed, so range at top speed would be around 16 times lower.
- OrgNet 7y ago> You probably achieve the stated range at ~65MPH. got a quote to back that up?
- mikeash 7y agoNo, it comes from personal experience with Tesla’s other cars. Note that the listed range comes from a standardized EPA test cycle. It’s more thorough than just cruising at 65MPH but the end result appears to approximate that.
- dharmab 7y agoThe Bugatti Veyron fuel tank lasts about 12 minutes at 250mph
- LeonM 7y agoSince the car produces 10.000Nm, I estimate the peak output power is around 1500kW. So at full power it could drain the 200kWh battery in about 8 minutes. In 8 minutes you will have covered ~33 miles @ 250mph. Of course there are many other factors at play here. For comparison: a Bugatti Chiron/Veyron is known to empty its 100L fuel tank in about 12 minutes at full power.

I think it's pretty much a given that a photo has been shopped unless they specifically say it hasn't. Even then one should be skeptical. But I agree, the degree of post processing in the photo makes it look completely artificial.
