I'm curious about how it handles downhills. I would've thought that without engine braking you would have to rely exclusively on the brakes and would thus burn them up even more. Does the Tesla have another mechanism? Or just insanely efficient brakes?
- furyg3 14y agoIt has regenerative breaking, which is effectively 'engine breaking'. Engine breaking on an electric car puts electricity back into the batteries. The brakes you see in the photos are for breaking, hard (full stop, quick stop, racing).
