    Owning a non-GT EV6 I can say that if you want the best launch from an EV6, the Regen level should be set to 0. They ran in GT mode with Regen level 3. The EV6 for whatever reason has to push through the regen during acceleration, so turning it off (level 0) would improve that launch.

    • @JV-py3lg
      @JV-py3lg Před 8 měsíci +1

      Question about regen. Why would regen be activated during any kind of acceleration? That would be like engaging the brakes while driving. Don’t think that would be efficient in any kind of way.

      @@JV-py3lgyes you’re quite right. In my experience it’s not “pushing through” the regen as that would make no sense. What in fact happens is that the throttle mapping changes so you get more bang for your buck as it were from the pedal through its entire depress, so the OP is right but for this reason.

    I prefer Edmund’s U-Drag, its a superior test in every way, incorporating TWO fast straightaways, heavy braking, heavy cornering…why would anyone still do a straightaway for a test? Also, GT is built for the track. It can do the nurburgring three times in a row back to back, no overheating issues because they gave it super beefy cooling, then go recharge battery 10-80% in 20 min and be back at it again. its just a better built track attack vehicle over model 3 performance.

    1. If you are being watched from abroad, it would be good to put subtitles on all the conversations on the walkie-talkie, if there is something important, because the sound quality is bad and nothing can be understood.
    2. I understand that this is just an entertainment video, but both cars are test cars, most likely not yours and insured. Therefore, if you are already comparing acceleration, then you could also try to test the resource. For example, repeating these parallel accelerations until the batteries are completely discharged. This would reveal the rate of discharge under such extreme loads, would reduce the response error of both drivers in the measurements, and in the worst case - would reveal any problems if there was any breakdown due to overheating of the elements or something else.

      Yeah, for the second test, it would make more sense to get to 30mph, then the test starts after they cross a line. It makes sure the test is perfectly matched and no one is ahead of the other. Not that it matters. They're both fast cars. But the Model 3 Performance has much better range and is cheaper. It's actually $52K now ($3k price drop just today) and of course, if you qualify for the $7,500 tax rebate, you're talking a $44,500 car. It's hard to pick the Kia, that's $63K and that's before dealer price hikes.

    You preconditioned the EV6 but didn’t precondition the Model 3. Why would you do that? Heat in the battery is way more important than State of Charge. The Model 3 Performance would easily run an 11.7 even at that State of Charge with a warmer battery. If you had optimized the battery temperatures in the Model 3 like you did in the EV6 it won’t fade anywhere near as much at higher speeds. Please test a Model 3 Performance with a hot battery and you will see the difference it makes. Just navigate to a Supercharger until the “preconditioning” word goes off the screen. Then it is ready to get max power.

    So, here's the deal with the GT EV6 - for the best launch, set the regen level to 0. Now, with Teslas, you can pre-condition them to get that max performance vibe. Gotta admit, the Model 3's acceleration is pretty darn quick for a regular-looking car! By the way, the EV6 lacks launch control, and running the batteries down to 30% can actually make both cars faster due to less weight. Personally, I prefer standard videos over POV, but that's just me!
