One Tesla Model 3 driver, Nick Caraciolo, told Business Insider that "300 miles of range can quickly become 100 miles of range if you're speeding or it's hot outside or too cold. It can be very deceptive and a gas-powered car can seem more accurate in that way."
I recently had a California experience on a motorcycle. They've got EVs all all the place. I was extremely uncomfortable around them. They launch like rockets. And that's how they drive them.I read that this morning. For some reason , people who are new to electric vehicles seem to crash them at a higher rate than gas engine cars. I have no idea why , then they said the associated repair costs were quite a bit higher. I can imagine that.
It's been chilly here in the UK (-3°C) and my range has decreased by 36% compared to the summer range. I wonder what the difference is when temperatures are even lower than that?...300 miles of range can quickly become 100 miles of range if you're speeding or it's hot outside or too cold.
To be pedantic it is full torque....an electric motor is to be instantly on at full power
The articles I have seen are stating tires worn out in as little as 8,000 to 10,000 miles.To be pedantic it is full torque.
They shed rubber into the air like motorcycles. Google it. Tire tech is going to have to catch up.I’ve read a couple articles in the last few days, stating that EV’s are experiencing shorter tire life due to extra vehicle weight and power delivery characteristics,

Any EV owners here have that experience?

The issue is that the tire pollution article I read was probably agenda driven. Or was it? It seems too much work to get truth anymore, though I assume it’s always been that way.Just a guess on my part, but...
Electric hot rods make a gazillion horsepower. In the quest to get 0 to 60 in under a second , that HP needs to hook up with the tarmac. That means a very soft composition tire. Soft, sticky tires wear at a horrendous rate. That's why car races typically have multiple tire changes in a single race.... soft rubber that grips and wears quickly.
It's not a bug, it's a feature.

Is Elon Musk.the reason that EVs launch like rockets is
