    If you take a look at the equations, heavy tires make more difference for lower speed starting and stopping. Once you’re at speed, they make less difference. However, handling, accelerating, and braking is where wheel weight has the greatest affects.

    @scottgregory2059 Месяц назад +2

    seems like you probably finished the 2nd test (more efficient test) at evening rush hour. Efficiency is potentially better in any EV in such a situation. Having your average speed (or overall time) for the test be very very close to the same would eliminate that variable and presenting it with these results would make it slightly more scientific. If it took more than 5 minutes longer to do the loop in the second test, the results are inconclusive at best.

    • @mmaxx9915
      @mmaxx9915 Месяц назад +1

      However it was probably colder at night. Less efficient if using heat also air density is increased thus more drag.

    • @scottgregory2059
      @scottgregory2059 Месяц назад

      @@mmaxx9915 I live close to where their testing takes place is so I am very familiar with the weather/atmospherics of their test. If anything, the temperature is more likely to have been a degree or two warmer in late afternoon/early evening than when they started/finished the testing early in the day. The average speed / potential for traffic slowdowns at evening rush hour will have a much greater impact to the overall range in general and in their test than the temperature related drag or cabin heating. Additionally, the wheels they used were not exactly the same, so there will be some aerodynamic difference that they have not mentioned or accounted for (and this may be similar order of magnitude as tire difference). In a perfect test, the 'better efficiency' tires are very likely to give a result similar to theirs - few up to 10 percent (maybe more) better range, but this test has not controlled the variables well enough to discriminate within the difference they found.

    • @mmaxx9915
      @mmaxx9915 Месяц назад

      @@scottgregory2059 while I agree there was no exact comparison. I have looked at multi hour temperatures for the Denver area. 10am is about the same temperature on average as 5pm. Also being stalled in traffic with the heat pump on is going to cut into slower speed driving efficiency of electrics. I don’t think it’s an all or nothing point. I’m just saying the idea the efficiency is mostly due to traffic conditions is potentially countered by other mitigating factors. Supposing the degree of those factors is speculative. I believe we are playing Symantec’s here and are agreeing with each other just coming at it from different perspectives.

    I doubt that you can compare these 2 rides cause you do not drive the same, have the same traffic and what not.
    3/48 less ist 6,3% not 10% but even that can be completely different due to wind, temperature, traffic and driving changes cause did you adjust the inside temperature when it went dark and cold(er) .
    Might be better to run 2 cars at the same time behind each other and that might make it more comparable. Here we had seen such tests with a rental car to get such results but between all season and specific EV tyres for example that also had about 5% difference.

    "just lost 20 minutes of our day"... That was a stupid statement, without context.
    EV owners need to be able to charge when the vehicle is NOT IN USE, which for most people is over 90 percent of the time. So assuming someone can charge when the vehicle is not in use then they will save time because they NEVER have to go to a gas station.
    The most important thing for mass EV adoption is access to level 2 charging at home, work and other places a vehicle is parked for an extended period of time. Fast charging should only be necessary for road tripping and when road tripping it shouldn't be a big deal to take a 20 minute break from driving. The last thing we want to do is replicate the gas station model with EVs. (Having said that, fast charging is improving every year but the infrastructure will lag behind the top end. The top end is already nearly twice as fast as that Cybertruck charge.)
    Of course there are exceptions for people who drive (and tow) a lot but that is the exception to the rule for daily vehicle use. The rule is cars sit idle MOST OF THE DAY AND NIGHT. (Which is why transportation as a service, with autonomous EVs, is going to be HUGE!)

      Why do people always assume “trying to save the planet” attitude on a tesla purchase when it’s usually because of the insane torque and performance.

      The OEM tires wear out quickly, after that you put on a good set of regular tires and get 50K or 60k out of them like would on any other vehicle. The OEM tires have a shallow tread depth for greater range. You can find CT videos on this.

    It’s frustrating (and somewhat infuriating) that you did not do ANY off road tests with proper tires on the CyberTruck. I and many others mentioned this in prior videos and you said you would. Very disappointing. You really dropped the ball on this one. Shame.

    TESLA is changing out the cords to much longer ones for non-tesla cars. BJ

      All these youtube channels are business designed to create income otherwise they would not exist. Not that difficult to understand.
