Hi,
Is this the perfect high power ebike or emotorcyle, or EV conversion motor?

It's a break through. Elon announced on-stage that you could hold it in one hand. A Tesla engineer told a YouTuber the weight 30 lbs and power ~400hp. I'd be happy to place a bet, contingent on Sandy Munro's teardown, but I'd feel guilty taking your money.coleasterling said:Zero chance this motor is 30lbs. None.

liveforphysics said:Single helical stage per motor per rear wheel to eliminate the differential is fantastic. Differentials are vestigial internal combustion components.
The rear power units from Plaid MS are going to change the hot-rodding world. Perfect traction control thrust maximization per rear wheel, and the right amount of thrust for most hot-rods running it to no longer matter if the front wheels are powered or not on your 60ft time.
Its the most excited I've been for a new vehicle release in a long time. :thumb:
In a later tweet, Unplugged Performance noted that while a more thorough data analysis would certainly come later, the fact that the Model S Plaid completed the shortened course in 6:57.220 suggests that it may have been able to finish the full run up Pikes Peak in about 9:20. That’s an impressive time overall, and one that is already competitive with some of the most insane, bespoke vehicles that tackle the mountain every year. For now, however, Randy Pobst and the Unplugged Performance team, together with the group of Tesla volunteers that supported this year’s Pikes Peak attempt, could breathe for a bit knowing that the Model S Plaid does have what it takes to compete and dominate in one of the most dangerous racing events in the motorsport world.

Appears to be a pair of two stage reduction gears and motors at the rear just like the single two stage reduction set and single motor the front has, and the above is quite high praise for a drive system using 12 gears in mesh. "multiple stages of loss causing levers as a crotch for a wrong motor choice". -ei with a 20 000+ rpm motor(s) "you're still doing it wrong if you're adding stages of loss, inefficiency, noise, wear-parts, failure modes, back-lash etc".
-Good to have you back Luke, i missed you man.
I'm excited to hear your reaction!So excited to feel the pull of the Plaid tomorrow! Woot!
You count the reduction gears as part of the motor?!Just the reduction gears look like 30 lbs. The whole motor has to be much more.
Maybe just being consistent ..?.. since you did when comparing to the Astro’s..MitchJi said:You count the reduction gears as part of the motor?!Just the reduction gears look like 30 lbs. The whole motor has to be much more.
The complete dual motor assy for the rear drive .MitchJi said:30 lbs is probably in the ballpark of twp Astro 3220’s with Matt’s drives. ....
