The Tesla Model S engine used ideas,developed by Nikola Tesla
The electric motor Tesla Model S is a direct descendant of the engine developed by Nikola Tesla. Brushless, 4-pole, 3-phase AC motor with liquid cooling.
It is extremely small in comparison with internal combustion engines. Located on the rear axle between the wheels.
The motor consists of two parts: a rotor and a stator. Materials (from the outer to the inner layer): aluminum, steel, copper. The only contact point in the motor is the bearings.
Such an engine allows you to abandon the transmission and use a direct drive. The engine provides the maximum speed of the car - 208 km / h (130 mph) in a single gear. The engine delivers 100% of torque at any speed, very efficient, has the ability to recuperation.
The dynamic performance of the Telsa Model S is comparable with the Mercedes S class or the BMW 7 Series. The power-to-weight ratio of the Model S is the best among cars of its class. The torque of the engine is 600 Nm, power is 416 horsepower, the car accelerates from 0 to 100 km / h for astonishing 4.2 sec
This is an amazing piece of technology & innovation. But it has been in existence for so long! Cars should have had this type of motor decades ago...
Yes and you don't have to buy the gas to drive the car
