Nope. That's not math. The Model 3 has a CdA of 0.511 m^2 The Prius Prime has a CdA of 0.576 m^2 Prove me wrong other than a line that's a...
8-year-old hybrid needing a battery? Ouch! If you want nearly guaranteed longevity (for 8 more years!?): your Toyota Dealer or Toyota Parts and...
This is definitely not the case. You make the small increase at the end look like a big huge CdA difference in favor of the PP when it's so close...
What are you saying? The rolling resistance magically drops as it speeds up? Explain why the two curves start separated and then come close if...
Um no. The plot shows the exact opposite. F=A * V^2 * Cd * D Look at the plot.
Maybe Nikola.
Can you please give some evidence to that statement. Everything I see says the Prime has a .24 Cd and a bigger cross sectional area. The Model 3...
The plot shows close to what I calculated, that the Tesla has a higher rolling resistance but lower air drag, reason why the line gets closer to...
Ya, I can't find anything that's official, so my numbers could be way off. On the other hand, and as I'm sure you well know, multiplying the...
I beg to differ that 1) size isn't going to make that much of a difference. Bigger tires have more surface area, but if the car weighs the same...
I'm having a hard time finding numbers, but this is what I came up with: Tesla Model 3 2.22m^2 .23Cd curb 3,648lbs Toyota Prius Prime 2.40m^2...
You mean rolling resistance. Yes, it increases rolling resistance. But at highway speeds the air drag is greater than the rolling resistance. A...
Anyone else feel like starting up another Myth Busters show? Lots of people think weight is a number one factor of energy loss. But especially...
The problem with tests and real world scenarios is they aren't ever the exact same. I wish, before buying my next vehicle, I could have the...
In my experience, one day I can get 120mpg out of my Avalon, and another day I barely get 15mpg. The same in the Leaf. One day I went 115 miles on...
A rule of thumb, if it looks like you're going to start pouring the same or more money into it in a year than a year's worth of payments, get a...
I think it can be very fair. I got my Leaf for a fraction of it's original price, partialy because EV buyers tend to hand down that tax credit to...
Ya. Going back to @Simon Miron McGraw 's comment, from what I can find, the median household income is around $70,000 and the median tax...
Ya, and the thing is IF you live where you need an OEM catalytic converter, then theft or cat damage can become costly. If you don't then a cheap...
Wow! I just noticed that. Is that including any tax rebate that you need to owe some $7,500 in order to take advantage of? One thing I did forget...
