The cars we wrecked in those days and lived to walk away from is hard to believe now,but back then they were easy and cheap to get. Usually there was beer involved,lol. I grew up in a fairly well to do farming community so every kid in high school had a muscle car or a brand new truck. The parking lot in alot of high schools back then looked alot like a muscle car lot,lol
The cars our generation wrecked as kids,almost makes me want to cry now,
Alas, my Challenger fell into that category. I was 18, drunk and stupid.The cars our generation wrecked as kids,almost makes me want to cry now,
no need to be a d!ck.
"how long do you think the average person is willing to be out in 100 plus degree heat?" is being a ****. I countered with facts.
fact huh? your familiar with the batteries used in that vehicle? you are an expert? you designed the system ? you were there for the testing? you're an engineer? our teslas survive - 40 c.
You should tell that to the couple of Edmonton Tesla owners that were on TV last winter during the cold spell,when Edmonton was seeing several days of -40+C.They might not be so inclined to think you're right,lol
Batteries are designed to work within a temperature range otherwise heating or cooling is required which uses the battery to maintain optimal battery temps which lowers range. Tesla specs their battery to 60-80°F otherwise heating or cooling is required. Tesla even states that extreme cold can reduce total range by up to 40%. To much heat can be worse than to cold because overheating can ruin batteries which is why cooling systems were added to teslas. If you leave your phone outside in the sun it’ll shut off as a safety because of overheating. Car batteries fail more often in hotter climates.
This warms my heart. Still trying to supercharge my Ram.
Have you considered a 6.4 SRT engine instead,gives you 485 hp and 470 lb-ft. Probably cheaper in the long run,and easier to tune,plus if you buy a brand new 6.4 you get a 3 year warrenty
-40C and -40F are the cross over point. I wasn't replying to the dune buggy part of this thread,i was replying to BCbouy who was claiming Tesla's were good at -40.I was just pointing out that a couple of Edmonton Tesla owners were on the news last winter bbitching about their Tesla's at -40+. It's not all that uncommon for Edmonton to hit -40C/-45C with windchills of -55+C in the winter,and apparently their Tesla's left a fair bit to be desired at those temps. BTW you guys south of the border really got to get with the times and join the rest of the world and start using metric,lol.
Im kinda old sixties, but still go ATV riding in the summer, sometimes 100-105 central AZ. Just got to bring plenty of light beer and water, and know where the shady spots are. On another note how heavy would that E Manx be?
