0-60 times are nice but I want to know what the 60-100 time is. That's what generally used for 1/4 mile estimates. Is there any diagrams of information easily

0-60 times are nice but I want to know what the 60-100 time is. That's what generally used for 1/4 mile estimates.
Is there any diagrams of information easily available about the couple style used between the motors and the wheel hubs? I wonder how they're done and what the limit of them is with the amount of torque they put out. In a previous life I used to build a lot of race cars and shearing axle bolts wasn't uncommon in drag applications.
It would be awesome to see them test out a full on drag tesla.
- ylhert 11y agoI'd imagine pretty good. It's got such a low drag coefficient, and at those speeds liquifying the tires is not as much of a problem. I'd think that the 60-100 times might be more impressive than it's 0-60 when compared to conventional cars!
- eatmyshorts 11y agoLooks like an 2012 model that is not the P85 and did not have the OTA performance update from last year could do it in about 9 seconds. For a reference, that's faster than a BMW M5. Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_03g4UHtCWo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_03g4UHtCWo
