Makes sense to me. The cheaper Camry with a 4 cylinder gets better mileage than the more expensive 6 cylinder.
Comment on Tesla confirms it has given up on its Cybertruck range extender to achieve promised range
GregorGizeh@lemmy.zip 1 month ago
Tesla now sells the tri-motor Cybertruck for $100,000 and only has a range of 320 miles.
The dual-motor Cybertruck was supposed to cost $50,000 and have over 300 miles of range. In reality, it starts at $80,000 and has 325 miles of range.
So, the cheaper model with two motors (why even) has a larger range than the full price model with three motors™®?
LMAO.

It’s probably more about faster acceleration. With all that battery weight, the dual motor model has to be sluggish.

I mean that’s fairly standard with EVs in general.

3 motors use more power than 2, so less range is expected. A car with 2 engines would use more petrol than a car with only 1.

To have mechanically independent FWD and RWD, this is actually pretty standard for all AWD BEVs and not just Tesla.

I have 0 knowledge about those things but now I want to know if you can forward and backward at the same time?
lagoon8622@sh.itjust.works 1 month ago
No ofc not. RWD and FWD and AWD are all different things and are all used in different vehicles because of the various benefits and trade-offs

Theoretically yes, but the software would obviously not allow that.

That’s how the Mach E GT does it. Same motor, Ford just puts an extra one at the front.
