Colleagues from the site Electrek managed to find out, due to what Tesla was able to improve the acceleration rates for fresh copies of Tesla Model S and Tesla Model X, which began to go off the assembly line.
It turns out that new copies of the "large" Tesla are equipped with a new version of the electric motor, which drives the rear axle of the electric vehicle. In general, before the release of the Tesla Model 3, three types of traction motors were available in the manufacturer's range of accessories: two variants for the rear axle (the one that was more powerful, installed on the modification with the "P" prefix in the model name and the Ludicrous package), and a weaker electric motor
For the front axle of all-wheel drive versions of electric vehicles. So, while the new electric motor for Tesla Model 3 was being developed, the engineers of the company introduced some improvements for the most mass version of the "rear axle" electric motor Tesla Model S and Tesla Model X. This is evidenced by the change in the article of this assembly unit, which happened recently. In the assembly unit, in addition to the motor itself, there is a gearbox and a power inverter. It
is possible that the latter was upgraded.
The new electric motor allows the basic modifications of the Tesla Model S and the Tesla Model X to accelerate faster - in some cases, the advantage of speed dialing at 96 km / h exceeds one second. Purely, software improvements such an increase can not be achieved. It is noteworthy that electric vehicles in the P100D package of the renewed electric motor have not yet received, and therefore they are accelerated to 96 km / h in the previous 2.5-2.9 seconds, depending on the model.
By the way, earlier Ilon Mask (Elon Musk) stated that he would like to bring the estimated life of traction motors to 1.6 million kilometers. With such indicators, this component can survive not one set of traction batteries. Reducing the cost of ownership of an electric vehicle is one of Tesla's priorities. Related Products :
