More like 9 reasons that it's *fucking great*
Keep up the great work!
Thank you, Sir.
Love all the vids👍🏻
Thanks for watching.
What makes the model S even more amazing is the fact that the 700+ HP provided by the motors isn't actually fully available, due to current restrictions from the battery and through the circuitry. It's currently limited to about 550HP. Which means that the 0-60 times of 2.8 seconds is not as fast as this car can go, it's as fast as this car can go today. There is still almost 50% HP waiting in the wings for some lower-resistance wiring, say graphene for example.
Imagine how fast this car could go with another 50% HP.
carbon nanotube wiring and motor windings have demonstrated superior performance already. These are very cursory nanotubes arranged into wires that are not continuous nanotubes.
Edit: but the power is limited by the batteries' ability to release electrons, which has more to do with the materials themselves. But if I'm not mistaken though, graphene has been shown in the lab to produce supercapacitors which far exceed energy density of current day batteries and could deliver power at rates which I'd imagine would cause lethal levels of acceleration in any vehicle which could actually use the energy for acceleration.
Lithium mining isn't even technically even mining, it's pumping out salt from the ground. The common huge hole in the ground isn't at all what lithium extraction is really like. And lithium batteries are actually eco friendly from what I've been able to find.
And 100% recyclable.
Where can I find the music that was playing in the background
For info, the Tesla Model S can't use his "700Hp" It's 530'ish HP, because the battery can't power more
Nice video but the music over the voice is too loud. Please reduce the music volume
Nice job by Ben on theTesla Model S and this Model S might have Ludicrous Mode which was tested by Rory Reid in Series 23 Episode 4 using a Model X against a Dodge Charger Hellcat
A friend of mine said that he was on his way to blacking out when he was riding in a P85D
Your first argument is wrong, wrong, wrong.
Recall: power = torque * rpm; an electric drivetrain has constant _torque_ all along the rev range, but at 0 rpm you have 0 hp. The power of an engine with constant torque is a linear function of its torque, and yes, with an electric motor, you have the max torque from > 0. This is why you have such an acceleration.
What is the intro song?! Like the first 3 seconds
It's the recombu theme tune.
You don't mine Lithium in the same way you mine for coal and oil though. It's found in dried up lake beds as it occurs in or where salty water has been, so it's easy to get to and its the 3rd most found element on earth. It's also worth noting the battery only contains 2% lithium as an active ingredient. We will never reach peak lithium like we will with oil because it is a metal and once you have enough for the world fleet you simply reuse recycled cars to build the new ones. Tesla recycle their old battery packs as they are essentially a concentrated ore as all the ingredients that went into the pack are still there at the end of its life. This also is a further cost saving that will occur probably in the next 20 years.

Nice review. Just an idea/suggestion... when the review is talking, please lower the accompanying music, particularly when he is inside the vehicle, the combination of music and windnoise drowns out his voice, especially when heard through headphones.
Our mic packs weren't behaving during the in-car impressions. Should be better in the next video. Thanks for watching.
Fix it in the mix?
I didn't even perceive any problems while listening on headphones.
Sennheiser HD 380 Pros & decent soundcard.
532 horsepower in ludicrous mode. it's battery limited.
the tesla roadster with the 80kwh battery upgrade has a rated range of 340 miles, which is more than 10% more than the 90D.
lets see how new tesla next year will do. if it catches on we might see more brands doing the same, long range battery cars. lets hope so.
The Model 3 is so important for the company. Probably a bit stuck with the longevity of batteries for a few years, but improving the speed of charging and the number of chargers in the UK will help convince people to take the electric car plunge. To be fair, Elon Musk has said a 400-mile Model S is feasible right now.
Don't bother about it more companies are getting into the craze.
There are 370 000+ people who put a cash down to reserve their model 3. Without even seeing the vehicle and with ZERO marketing! No other car maker can claim anything anywhere close to this kind of interest in a vehicle. That pretty much answer your question.
The background music is louder than you talking.
Pls turn off the muzak, so that we can hear what is on your mind.
Look over your right should at the trim on the B pillar - same fault as Robert Lewellyns car. A great electric car, but flawed by quality control and ultimately only as green as the original power source used to charge it.
Even if the car is charged by 100% coal it is still 60% cleaner then an ICE car.
+Cir Hsot Really? Just one of the now common ways C02 is calculated for EV's says different as many other sources www.channelnewsasia.com/mobile/singapore/lta-on-tesla-co2/2572062.html
***** www.portlandgeneral.com/-/media/public/residential/electric-vehicles-charging-stations/documents/electric-vehicle-faq.pdf?la=en
This link is from my local electric service provider.
+Cir Hsot Good old inaccurate sales hype. Like many other companies who tell lies and get away with it... VW, Exon, Shell......
***** I think PGE is a better source then some clerk in a Singapore office. It should also be pointed out that it takes as much electricity to refine the gasoline as it takes to drive an EV. so your gas car makes its own emissions as well as using the same electricity.
This is the list of things you'll NEVER have to maintain/repair/replace on an EV:
Fuel tank
Fuel line
Fuel filter
Fuel pump
Fuel Injectors / carburetor
Electronic Ignition / coil / Distributor
Spark Plugs
Spark Plug wires
Lead/Acid battery
Oil
Oil pump
Oil filter
Transmission
Driveshaft
Starter
Alternator
Timing chain
Serpentine belt
Valve adjustment
Gasket
Piston rings
Turbo (if applicable)
Supercharger (if applicable)
Muffler
The only actual maintenance cost is differential oil change every 12 years/ 150 000 miles, electric motor bearings every 500 000 miles and windshield washer fluid! Direction, suspension and tires are the same as ICE, obviously. Most high end cars also share similar sensors, cameras and navigation computer.
The battery has an 8 years unlimited miles warranty and will STILL be 92%+ efficient after 100 000 miles over 10 years. (SOURCE:
www.greencarreports.com/news/1096801_tesla-model-s-battery-life-how-much-range-loss-for-electric-car-over-time)
Replacement cost will significantly drop 10 years from now with technological refinement and mass market penetration of EVs, *BUT* considering that the battery will, in most scenarios, easily outlive the car itself, replacing the battery is not even a consideration, unless you plan to drive 200 000 miles by keeping the car for over 15 years and you demand over 89% efficiency… You must drive half a million miles with this thing to get below 80% efficiency, which mean that from a 285 miles range brand new, you’ll still get over 220 miles of range in the worse case scenario ever!
Add to this the fact that brakes last 5 times longer up to 100 000 miles due to regenerative breaking, FREE Super Chargers, Tesla infinite miles drivetrain warranty and most important argument of all, electrify cost is orders of magnitude cheaper than gas at only a few buck per full charge, and you will realize EV is a no brainier! With the money saved on gas and near zero maintenance, the car actually pays for itself after a few years!
What happened to the black guy? He was good
Have you lost Rory completely then?
Not completely.
RecombuCars Fair enough, this guy is good though
# 10 you can drive it in Stuttgart even when Roads are closed cause of Fine Dust Alert.
plus Tesla's new gigafactory will devote part of the factory to recycling in repurposing their batteries so even better 😉
So has Rory left the channel?
Nope.
Lithium only comprises about 2% of the batteries.
And is 100% recyclable.
the still pictures with the text are cringy
Hey, make your voice louder :)
first
Do you want a fucking medal?
+Will Haggaty Probably...
bring back Rory and get rid of this lethargic guy
Its all good good but ! the battery ant going to last, after 5 years it will not be worth a pinch of billy goat shit for resale.
You can easily change the battery. It doesnt cost too much either.
The battery and drive train have an eight year unlimited mileage warranty.
The battery is expected to have a 30 year useful life span. 15 years in the car, 15 to 20 in other applications.
Well that be great if it that's true, I am not sure where you got that info from. I give them about five years, before they are largely useless and the range of the vehicle is greatly reduced.
+westerntui Im not sure where you got your info from. It seems to me that you are pulling numbers out of your ass.
"A bloody 17" iPad display" Sorry its not a Apple display it has nothing to do with Apple. I really wish people would stop comparing anything with a touch screen to Apple it just makes you look like an idiot.
I bet a ford ka would beat this car in a race from Glasgow to London .. So this car is pointless
That would be the case, but I would still prefer to be in the Model S ;) Plus if you want to drive from London to Edinburgh, you're clearly not in a rush.
My point is , that any car that can't go for at least 450 miles without recharging is pointless to normal people.
It really isn't, How much would it cost for the ford ka to get to Glasgow to london? And how much for the tesla.
+Scott Irons How many of these 'normal people' really need to drive 450 in one go? Two 20min Supercharger stops en route, giving you up to 50% charge, wouldn't be a huge time sacrifice. We should work out the timings, see what's what.
And how often do the "normal people" need to drive 450 miles? I have had my Tesla only for 3 months but I have a full charge every morning, and have "so far" never needed to stop and charge the car. In a few weeks I plan a 1,000 + trip. I could take my ice car, but with free superchargers.... I am taking the Tesla.
