Well let's see. They use the same range of Tesla batteries. They use the same motors. The same brakes (Brembo), same transmission, similar suspension. Neither have an ic engine, fuel tank or radiator. The difference in the wheelbase between the Model X (116.7) and Model (116.5) is 0.2 inches. As I said a different body. If I'm incorrect tell me how.
- davidgould 7y agoWell, none of it is correct. S and X are mostly aluminum, Model 3 is mostly steel. S and X use AC induction motors, Model 3 uses PM motor (yeah, Raven and all, but historically this is true). S and X use 18650 cells, Model 3 uses 21700 cells with a different cooling architecture. Your definition of "the same" covers almost every electric made, not just Tesla. It's a stretch too far.
- nickik 7y agoWhy are you just straight up lying about things that can be checked with ease?
- grizzles 7y agoI said the body was different. Tesla standardizing on Raven is not really a counterexample. These other differences (eg. a few extra battery cells) are so chickenshit that if a factory level product engineer was making these changes 99% of the time it would be signed off by max one other engineer. I know because I used to be one of those engineers. The gist of what I'm saying is totally true. It's not like they are using different battery chemistries on their different models. All their big stuff has moved or is moving to a common platform.
