Once upon a time, electric cars were uncool, dorky, niche, and it wouldn’t be an understatement to say that very few people in the auto industry thought they were the future of transportation. How minds and narratives can change! Of course, while it’s easy to look at where we are … [continued]
Teslas are interesting vehicles for several reasons, but one that we don’t actually focus a lot of time or text on are that they are manufactured as cheaply as possible (without dropping key Tesla features) in order to bring down the costs of electric cars and make them competitive with … [continued]
The Tesla Model Y might look like the ultimate mom car, with its SUV posture and room for a few booster seats in the back, but Mountain Pass Performance had a different vision in mind. Sort of.
Editor’s Note: The team at Mountain Pass Performance are doing some truly cutting edge work and research on EV motor controls. They put together a comprehensive post on EV motors with some help from Chris Brune at Rinehart Motion Systems and were nice enough to let us repost it here.
Jesse over at Mountain Pass Performance picked up a Tesla Model 3 Standard Range+ to fiddle with, and a few dyno tests confirmed that the lighter weight of the SR+ does indeed result in a faster car than the Model 3 Long Range at speeds over 65 miles per hour.
The silence was deafening at the Buttonwillow raceway in central California this past weekend as Mountain Pass Performance (MPP) headed off to the raceway to support customer and longtime racer Cameron Rogers in his assault on the track in his brand spanking new Tesla Model 3 Performance.
Sasha Anis and the crew over at Mountain Pass put their modified rear wheel drive (RWD) Tesla Model 3 head to head against a 3-day old Performance Model 3 with the Performance Upgrade Package.
Mountain Pass Performance took its Model 3 and put it on the dyno at different states of charge (SOC) to see how the performance of the car changes as the charge on the battery goes down. Can you guess the result?
Sasha Anis and his crew of tuners at Mountain Pass Performance may be known for their big brake kits, coilovers, and suspension mods for the Tesla Model 3, but today, they took the wraps off their latest and perhaps greatest achievement: disabling Electronic Stability Control (SC) and the Traction Control System (TCS) without disabling the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) on the Model 3. CleanTechnica got an inside scoop.
The Tesla Model 3 is the most revolutionary electric vehicle released to date. Having made significant progress ramping up Model 3 production in June, Tesla is on track to see more Model 3 sales closed this month than any other electric car in the world will see, and the company could even overtake Porsche in total vehicle sales this year if it can maintain even a hint of stability in its Model 3 production lines for the balance of the year.
