No, but 70 kwh battery. If you use the 4xe efficiency (probably a good bit different) maybe 100 miles.Any mention of range?
Sounds about right. They really need to drop the transmission and transfer case. A dual motor setup would be better. Didn’t Magna start selling solid axles with electric motors?No, but 70 kwh battery. If you use the 4xe efficiency (probably a good bit different) maybe 100 miles.
No mention I saw, but at 70kWh with that kind of power, weight, and aerodynamics I'd bet 150 to 200 tops.Any mention of range?
Should be better than 4xe efficiency losing the ice motor/weight + fuel tank, cooling systems, etc.No, but 70 kwh battery. If you use the 4xe efficiency (probably a good bit different) maybe 100 miles.
Hopefully. I'm sure a lot of that weight savings is offset by the additional battery weight, though.Should be better than 4xe efficiency losing the ice motor/weight + fuel tank, cooling systems, etc.
What kind of job do you have? And are they hiring?I'd buy this at $80k+ tomorrow if it were available.
That's an oddly specific RPM to choose...
- Custom-built axial flux electric motor that operates up to 5,250 rpm
Probably a whole new transmission. The regular 6-speed would disintegrate with 850 lb-ft of torque.First gear ratio in the manual transmission is changed from 5.13 to 3.36.
So is this thing AWD? And did they actually test the 2-second 0-60 or is it just the drivetrain that's theoretically capable of these speeds?A new electric powertrain calibration maintains the peak amperage for up to 10 seconds – think of it as electronic nitrous oxide – which lets the Magneto 2.0 bolt from 0-60 mph in 2 seconds.
If only the Diesel engine didn’t use more of that energy producing heat than it does producing power…That is the true problem with ICE vehicles, massive inefficiency. If we could some how harness 80%+ of the energy contained in a gallon of fuel we would see triple digit fuel economy and ranges of thousands of miles. At 100% efficiency, burning 1 gallon of gas would produce 47k horsepower, a gallon of diesel would produce 54k horsepower. Meanwhile tesla‘s motors are between 90-94% efficiency….... wow it has the energy equivalent of just over 2 gallons of diesel

It has the same 70 kw/h capacity battery as last year's concept.Any mention of range?
I can't imagine how terrifying it would be to go 0-60 in 2 sec behind the wheel of a 2 door Wrangler.
Was in a dual-motor Tesla S (3.2 to go 0-60). It feels a bit uncontrollable, to be honest. I would not want to have to steer while giving it full-throttle.
