The amount of vitriol against Tesla here is insane. Just the fact that incumbent car manufacturers are now seriously considering electric cars after decades of ignorance because of Tesla is a great win for humanity. Virtually all tech compa

I mean... Traditional cars have to burn the gas and convert it to kinetic energy before it even get to the wheels. The electric motor just takes the electrons to power without the need for a transmission. In addition, the speed can also be

EV's are also significantly much better at traction control because they can make corrections by the millisecond compared to the lag of a traditional ice car. That is a very important distinction.

I know specs are sexy but, you're missing one important detail here. Battery Longevity. Tesla did not initially do this because they wanted the batteries on their customer's cars to last for a long time. Now that they have the dat

They have. From what I know, other companies that they had talks with want to change the spec instead of just adopting it. Which is pretty absurd since they are already getting the tech without spending resources on R&D. Yet, they want

Not sure about other EV manufacturers, but The Tesla Battery Management System (BMS) automatically heats/cool the batteries as needed to keep them at optimal operating temp and longevity.

It's not really just about being able to "start". Winter temps can affect fuel/energy efficiency of ALL cars regardless if they are EVs or not. ICE cars can lose somewhere between 22-34% in range. Source: https:/&#
