Why doesn't tesla make any more roadsters with 2 speed transmissions?
i heard that all of their transmissions are one speed now. is it cause they kept breaking? that's what i heard from top gear, but i dunno if its true. is it?
and when are they releasing their new sedan? i heard that its this month, but then i heard that they delayed it. so anyone know when its gonna be released?
thanks
lol if you don't know, why would you answer?
what's going on between the workers and management?!?!?!
yea, top gear are a bunch of fossil heads...they make up any excuse possible to put down alternative fuels...
oh yea btw, wouldn't a gear box mean higher top speed? plus, when working at higher rpm, like at highway speeds, wouldn't it just be smarter to down shift to save energy so you can maintain the higher speed, without using a lot of energy. so better range.
Electric motors are high torque fro zero, so there is no need for a gearbox in the infernal combustion sence to match the torque curve to load (road speed etc)
The second gear would have given an option of lower acceleration for longer range. but with the prototype transmission shifting between the two gears without a clutch was too difficult to develop in the timescales set. So they have gone for a single speed option with few moving parts. http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/convertibles/112_0810_2009_tesla_roadster_one_speed/index.html a 2 speed box may come along later with an option to retrofit to earlier models.
but Top Gear are fossil heads who don't want to know anything about electric vehicles, eg they would rather crash a 250mph dragster than mention a 350-400mph Bluebird sitting in a shed in the UK awaiting sponsorship http://speedace.info
Tesla have the same funding issues as other car makers at the moment, so any plans are subject to change. especially as it involves a new factory in California
