0 - 100 in two seconds. New Tesla Roadster. Would you if you could.

[Markb]

Yeah I would, but then again I am not Mr Musk or Mr Sorros or Mr Cyril or Mr Gates...



That thing probably makes more power than all of eksdom

With Eishkoms track record, a Duracell AAA makes more power than they do!

[JCMostert]

This Tesla will give my Uno a go...

[Zapiture]

I'm pretty sure we are reaching the limit where the power of acceleration will exceed the strength of your ability to clench your butt cheeks closed.

[KobusDJ]

Just buy the Tesla electric motor and put it in your Beatle

ICE’s will outlive this generation. Biden is going to make it tough to drive them. But this is the first time I say maybe:

that is a serious range......
the thing that we need in our country so make EV a viable option

Just by the Tesla electric motor and put it in your Beatle

It’s too expensive. Trust me, I checked.

[Zapiture]

Had something like this in mind.

I am sure all you gas guzzling petrol heads would just love to feel that acceleration your gas guzzler can only dream of.

Go on, admit it!

I think an electric car would be brilliant in city driving, especially one as quick as that. But that doesn't mean it ticks all the boxes a V8 does not does it mean it can do everything a V8 can do

Did anyone perhaps see the TFL Youtube clip where they had the Tesla on the rollers? Pretty interesting result.

[avk]

yes, and motorcycle engines, even 2-smokes

the guys from the Atom Motor museum in Baynesfield have a radial motor that they start up at the venue, and usually bring to KZN cars in the park....
that thing running is amazing...

but back to the topic, swapping electric motors into older model cars is something to look forward to...
Imagine a 400nm motor in something like a SJ, or a Nissan 1400

I have to admit...even though it is still horribly expensive, on my bucket list is to convert my 59 Beetle to electric one day. No need for major power, the same or slightly more than it has now will work for me.

production car parts will be expensive for a while still....

maybe an old electric forklift setup is more obtainable

[RvanZ]

EV West in the states do some nice conversions, mostly using tesla scrap

"Luckily" I am pretty broke at the moment anyway.

But yeah, for what I am envisaging I don't need massively powerful motor.

Oh well...nice to dream.
