Numerically prove that Porsche Taycan Turbo S is faster than Tesla Model S

Compare with physically calculated values, not values published by the manufacturer

The Porsche Taikan Turbo S has announced that "0-60 miles is 2.6 seconds and the maximum speed is 161 miles per hour", and the Tesla Model S has announced that "0-60 miles is 2.4 seconds and the maximum speed is 163 miles". It has been.

If you look only at this, you will say, "The Tesla Model S is faster."

However, when I delved into the drive trains of these two cars and compared them by making various calculations from the numerical values, as a result, due to the difference in the transmission, in fact, "Taycan Turbo S is actually better. It's fast. "

You Tube "Engineering ExplainedJason Fenske has released a video that "numerically proves" it.

This channel is very interesting because it has been experimented and proved various things based on science every time ^ ^

Compare Porsche Taycan Turbo S and Tesla Model S

In this video, Porsche Taycan Turbo S and Tesla Model S are calculated and compared from the following four viewpoints.

1: Wheel torque
2: Wheels & tires
3: Car weight
4: Torque curve

The Taycan has two gears on the rear axle and one gear on the front axle.

The rear torque of the Taycan is 610Nm, the front is 440Nm, and the rear gear ratio is 15.563: 1 for the 1st gear and 8.05: 1 for the 2nd gear. The front gear ratio is 8.05: 1.

Tesla has a rear of 720Nm and a front of 420Nm. The rear gear ratio is 9.734: 1 and the front is 9.325: 1.

From this numerical information, "multiply the rear torque by the gear ratio and add the front torque x front gear ratio", the wheel torque is "13,035Nm" for Taikan and "10,925Nm" for Tesla.

… And so on, we're doing more and more calculations. No, it's fun to listen to this kind of explanation ^^

As a matter of fact, I'm not very good at science (physics), so when asked "Do you really understand?" I can't do it at all if I'm told to try it. "(← I don't understand (laughs)).

No, even if you don't understand English anymore, you can understand what you are doing by looking at the numbers, so if you are strong in numbers, please take a look. I think it's fun! !! Even I, who is weak in numbers, was interesting, so ^^

Calculation results and experimental results in actual vehicles

So, after all, as a result of various "calculations", the result is that the Taycan Turbo S should be faster than the Tesla Model S.

Furthermore, since Top Gear was conducting an experiment of drag racing using the actual vehicle with the Taycan Turbo S, which is exactly the two calculated units, when actually comparing with the actual vehicle, The result of what happened to was also given.

As a result, the Porsche Taycan Turbo S was faster as calculated. If you look only at the published figures, Model S should have been faster!

By the way, this "Engineering ExplainedThe video "What happens if you think scientifically (various things related to cars) in numbers" is purely done, and "The published value is wrong!" It's not what you're trying to wake up.

I think it's because I really think it's really "awesome" when I see it, and I think it's because I understand that, but there were also the following comments in this video.

"I'm the owner of the Tesla Model S. I just saw the title that other cars are faster than my own, and I didn't have to look at the content, I gave the video a bad rating! ... It's a joke. This is the best! It's amazing! "

When. Even the owner of the Tesla Model S was obediently praised for the content of this video, and it made me feel warm again.

Even so, I really respect people who can talk in numbers like this. Porsche is also cool, but this kind of person is also really cool ^ ^
