20% worse Cd and 20% more frontal area = 40% more drag so it's going to be tough. In the latest video from Out of Spec Kyle says he was told it would similar to a Taycan AWD. Taycan RWD does 193mi and Air does 155mi so it does sound like it should be a little better than Air which would be amazing.

I doubt the Gravity will be better than the Air (in perfect conditions, supposedly Gravity charging will be more consistent). Something is weird with Edmund's results though. I wonder if they're preconditioning. The Air is #3 in Out of Spec's test and they averaged 186kW over 15 minutes (2023...

Better yet, measure the area under the curve, charge for 15 minutes starting at 10% SoC and drive 80mph until SoC is 10% (aka 10% challenge.)

400kW! Sounds like we should have all the numbers soon. Really want to see 10% challenge.

And it looks like they did a range test. But they're at the Milipitas Ulfert Center so probably can't get very scientific results (too many hills, too much traffic.) I guess it's more likely they're doing a 0-100% charging test at the Supercharger.

I guess the production rate over the last three months makes sense if they're currently making some parts "by hand" (not sure what the right term is for parts made using non mass production methods)

Denied, not debunked. He didn't say what the real issue is, let alone provide any evidence. My speculation is that it's just normal production ramping problems and the December event was just to get people their bonuses.

Shame that it's not a real SUV like the Model Y. :p

Odd that they would need to upgrade the front motor to get half the power of the rear motor. Of course I'm assuming that the info about the front and rear motors of the GT being identical except for the inverter is correct. There's also the unexplained efficiency loss in the Dream Edition. I was...

I want 10% challenge! 400kW and V3 Supercharger. Everything else I care about I can find out on a test drive.

I would not be driving like that with all season tires unless I had a spare. It would not take long to get a sidewall tear. Though I suppose I wouldn't be driving like that in a $120k crossover either... haha

Someone bring an angle gauge and measure! Actually you could use your phone...

It just seems like if you're adding power to an already powerful car it doesn't make sense to add a more powerful front motor. Faster acceleration will just take more weight off the front wheels.

I'd rather have the extra 20mm of width and 0.6" of diameter in the front and live with all the downsides. 0-60 in 3.5s would be no problem with RWD. I would be curious the relationship between tire width and traction. What are your thoughts on the Dream Edition having equal power front and...

I still want this tire setup. I assume these are not Hankook Ions...

What's the advantage of narrower front tires though? Certainly all wheel drive changes the optimal tire widths?

I feel like you're talking about a level of driving that's not applicable to 99% of drivers. :p I do reasonably well at autocross and I don't notice these things. I would note that many people run square setups on cars that come stock with staggered wheels because most cars understeer from the...

How many studios are there now? Doesn't this mean they've produced about 100 vehicles in three months? Seems like they should put a more positive spin on this... Like how much faster they're producing them now than three months ago.

Any speculation about what's under the cover???

All that engineering effort but if you look at autocross results nobody is running Michelins. It just seems like the odds are low that any OEM tire is actually the best for any given customer's preferences, especially with a "jack of all trades" vehicle like the Gravity. For example for my...
