  • Fact or Fiction? Teslas get slower as their battery is depleted.
    We test the 0-60 MPH times and power output of a Tesla P100D from just 10% battery all the way up to 100%.

    Suprised it didnt go faster on 10% seeing as it didnt have to carry the weight of all that extra electricity. ;)

    • @petermortensen2405
      @petermortensen2405 Před 7 lety +70

      Well, let's check how much weight that difference represents:
      E=mc2 =>
      m = 90kWh/(c2) = 324MJ / (299792458m/s x 299792458m/s) = 3.6 micro grams.
      Keep in mind that the sun is losing mass following above Einsteins equation and this mass turns into solar rays of which a tiny percentage hits planet earth and a much smaller percentage ends up generating this electricity.
      Some nuclear fusion reaction in the sun millions of years ago --> some solar rays hit the planet earth --> some plants grew --> some animals ate the plant --> the animals died --> dead animals turned into fossil fuel --> we burned it in a power plant --> we made electricity --> we distributed the electricity --> we charged a Tesla car --> we got from 0-60mph in 2.3 seconds :-)
      The huge amount of energy hidden in matter is incredible! In fact, a tiny 1 gram of matter equates to about 250,000 Tesla P100D batteries fully charged of energy.

      @Mikeknz78 Před 7 lety +3

      Awesome.. i was sort of hoping someone would do something like that. By the way, I see you used 90kwh in your calc - the P100D - is 100kwh not sure if you used 90 for some reason or if im misunderstanding the calc :)

    • @petermortensen2405
      @petermortensen2405 Před 7 lety +6

      I used 90kWh intentionally as you talked about the difference between 10% charge and 100% charge. That difference is 90kWh. A 100kWh battery will weigh about 4 micro grams more when fully charged vs. when not charged. And that's why I said 1 gram of matter equates to 250,000 Tesla P100D batteries (1 gram / 4 micro grams = 250,000). This in fact means even the total volume of Tesla cars produced from the first Roadster until current latest produced car is is still less than a gram of matter's of energy contained in all batteries accumulated. No wonder our sun can keep going for billion of years.

    under 3 seconds 0-60 at 25% battery charge. impressive. debunks the myth that you have to be at full charge to do a decent launch. and at 75% charge, performance is virtually indistinguishable from its peak (560kw vs 575kw).

    The future of improvements in the Model S performance will have to be about acceleration above 60mph or in other words, more sustained horsepower. The 2.3 seconds to 60mph is at the edge of the traction the tires can achieve on real road conditions. Rather, hopefully future updates can be with a combination of better battery cooling and better maximum continuous horsepower in the cells (less internal Li-Ion cell resistance). When a Model S gets quickest to 60mph and not quickest in a drag race it's all about the limits in horsepower that sets in above 60mph. Not sure exactly the number, but there is a horsepower number that would secure the Model S wheel torque at near tire slip all the 1/4 mile. That's the horsepower we want and Model S will become a drag racing monster!

    How did they get 0-60 in 2.28 seconds? I'd bet that included a 1ft role out. Also their tests are usually done on a drag strip rather than on the road, so a smoother and grippier surface for better traction. Either way the car's performance is incredible, on road or track!

    Power = Voltage x Current. Battery % is actually the difference between lowest voltage and highest voltage of the battery divided by the max time 100. So when the battery is low, you get a lower voltage out of the battery. Assuming you get the same current, power goes down when voltage goes down. You didnt need to actually test it to know if it'll be slower. You cant get the same time cuz there is that one foot freebie that you wont get when testing with on-board computer.

    Given the significant performance difference between, for example, a P90DL and a P100DL I'm surprised there wasn't any difference between 100% and 75% 0-60 times. Can anyone explain this?

    how is it going with the battery's over time? Like you know 100% not being 100% anymore from when they were new. And is there no bad result from charging every day, instead of using the battery untill a certain percentage before charging.

      there is an iphone app for Tesla called PowerTools that shows the motor output in KW or HP, speed, location, and other logging data all in real time while you drive. it logs in to the car and streams the logs to your phone. He is also using a vbox performancebox to measure 0-60, g-forces, etc via GPS.

    @migtaurdeutsch3991 Před 7 lety

    maybe the reason you are not hitting a lower time is because your equipped tires are too wide
    wider tires increase your moment of inertia and have a significant effect on 0-60 times

    Brooks, how well does the car hold a charge / mileage after sitting off for a day or days unplugged? I've heard it does lose a certain amount over time but curious what it really amounts to or how much is affected by what percent it's left at.

    • @taipoxin
      @taipoxin Před 7 lety

      Being BASED on the same battery in no way means it loses about the same. In fact, there's tons of reports about vampire drain with people losing as much as 10 miles a day. It's also on a much bigger scale and with a much more complex system with more factors at play.

    So Brooks, when do you order the Challenger Demon with Drag Package, seat delete,, harness, roll bar & skinny fronts and rest of the goodies minus 200 lbs approx. 760 hp estimated. Dodge is guaranteeing 10 sec qtr miles . I'm thinking if all comes to fruition, the P100D wiill get beat in qtr mile but P100 D will take the 1/8 and 0-60.

      There is a very, very small loss during discharge although the loss has nothing to do with the weight of electrons. Electrons are not lost during charging and discharging.

      @michahermann7869 Před 7 lety +2

      caspa7 The amount of electrons in the system stays the same, no matter if the batteries are fully charged or not. There's just a difference in electric potential. Basically the same as squeezing a spring. Fun fact: Only the electron holes travel with almost the speed of light inside of the wires, the electrons themselves travel only at about the tenth of the speed of a slug
