If Tesla isn’t entering DTM they should be banned from Germany

I don’t think most people understand the importance of having good tires.

Ooo...get into Greenwashing with them too. Discuss how clean their energy plant is that is powering their Tesla? It’s even better if it is a coal or oil plant!

Yep, I’ve been thinking this since the first photo of that “widebody” Model S came out. Not an even playing field but you know Tesla fanatics will turn blindly to that.

While I agree mostly with what you say,, I don’t think Teslas benefit from any sort of engine programming .

Also, we don’t know very much about the Laguna Seca video, so we can’t tell what tires they use. We do know that the P100D+ they tested in Germany has road legal tires.

GM certainly did when they sent those C7s out to dominate head-to-heads with near-track-ready tires...

Always got comments like “We think the Porsche would have done better with tires like the Corvette had...”

ALL head-to-heads should be on the same compound and make tires.

“engine tuning”

giggty

Also, tires are worth like a second on an autocross track. I imagine they are much more on real track.

It’s surely programmed not to go into limp mode, and to do nothing to protect the battery. Performance over all.

Engine/motor ECU tuning/programming.

Yep!

I am quite certain that Teslas do not come equipped with any sort of engine.

Also, You can really beat up a Model 3 in Performance mode. The cooling fans are permanently working and regen is limited ... I don’t think they need to go into limp mode...

Due to the rules for various racing classes there’s a decent selection of tires that are technically road legal but are actually full blown racing tires with a couple extra grooves in them.

If you prefer motor, fine.

1. a machine with moving parts that converts power into motion.

“ CLEARLY you’re a moron! You should OBVIOUSLY know that ALL manufacturers prepare their cars for the track.”

Didn’t you know that was OBVIOUS?!?

I really feel bad that there are so many mentally ill people out in the world.

They’re cultists. Don’t expect logic or reason.

Protip: If they only ever refer to Musk as “Elon”, like they’re personally friends with a billionaire who doesn’t know they even exist, do not engage.

I’ve been enjoying my popcorn over at /r/teslamotors. Anyone that doesn’t say that Porsche is “shitting their pants” is immediately downvoted.

Meanwhile on /r/Porsche...crickets...all this hubub is clearly for one ( rabid ) group’s benefit.

Thank god that in my language we just use the term “motor”

Definitely more common to use that when talking about electricity.

Do you ever call a gasoline engine a motor? (much more common)

Spanfeller is a twat > davesaddiction @ opposite-lock.com 09/12/2019 at 14:27

Yes, motor is always used.

I don’t think there’s even a term for engine in Spanish

The closest thing would be “locomotor” but that’s a term for a railway engine.

Even other things, like a search engine.

Google describes itself as a “motor de búsqueda ” in spanish

Haha - I’ll leave that to you.

Wind has taken off recently in some places, though:

“Four states – North Dakota, Kansas, Oklahoma and Iowa – generated enough wind and solar (ha!) power to supply at least 40 percent of their electricity needs. North Dakota generated sufficient wind and solar electricity to supply over half, 54 percent , of its electricity needs.”

Kansas produced 47% from wind and solar power while Oklahoma’s production was 44% . Iowa had 43% production from the two sources of energy.

I assume wind and natural gas have increased as coal has decreased. Will be interesting to watch if the wind share keeps increasing by 5% every year for the next several years.

Wind harvesting is best in the middle.

The wind really does come “sweeping down the plain ”.
