![]() With electric motors, the speed increases, torque decreases, and power increases, giving the Tesla all the power it needs for excellent acceleration, which demonstrates the Model-3 going from zero to 60 mph in 3.2 seconds. This is because electric motors generate 100 percent of their torque (required for acceleration) at very low speeds, while internal combustion engines only generate torque at a small range of speeds.Ĭombustion engines use varying gear ratios in the transmission to accelerate the vehicle. Tesla uses a 1-speed automatic transmission, meaning they only have one gear for shifting as they don’t need more. Tesla has already been loading a lot of features into its touchscreen interface, so it doesn’t surprise us that it did this with gearshifting. Swipe up for a drive, swipe down for reverse, and maybe tap for the park. When asked how the car shifts into gear, he replied: “Car guesses drive direction based on what obstacles it sees, context & nav map. Tesla CEO Elon Musk answered that question the same way he answers most of the queries about Tesla: via Twitter. How Tesla Will Shift Themselves into Gear Furthermore, the Corvette Z06 can go from 0-60 in 2.95 seconds, even slower than the upgraded Tesla Ludicrous. That’s a lot of power, especially considering the Corvette Z06 “only” offers 650 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque. With that power, it’s capable of 0-60 in 2.6 seconds and the quarter mile in 10.9 seconds at 122.7 miles per hour. For example, the Ludicrous-upgraded 2015 Tesla Model S P90D has four-wheel drive and offers 762 horsepower and 731 pound-feet of torque. ![]() One reason Tesla cars are so fast is that they have a lot of horsepower. Even brake pad renewal is infrequent for electric vehicles because regenerative braking returns energy to the battery, significantly reducing brake wear.Ĭheck your Owner’s Manual for the latest maintenance recommendations for your Tesla. Unlike gasoline cars, Tesla cars don’t require standard oil changes, fuel filters, spark plug replacements, or outflow checks. Tesla engineers continually review maintenance recommendations to optimize your Tesla’s performance, reliability, durability, safety, and resale value.
