Damn. Where can I buy an engine like this for my classic car

How much does the older alternators used w/ICE automobiles compare to the AC Induction Motors used by Tesla automobiles??

They both have 3-phase stators. But that's it for similarities. Car alternators have around 12-poles in their stators (to generate high frequency AC with lower RPMs) while all AC Tesla motors are 4-pole. Car alternators also employ brushes and slip rings to transfer the DC field excitation power to their rotor. All Tesla AC motors are brushless and are controlled directly by a 3-phase AC inverter, much like the variable frequency drives used in industrial induction motors.

does anyone know how much the motor weighs?

I've heard in comments form ktber videos that the Plaid motors are rated up to 500hp each but Tesla only limits it to 340hp each. Is this true? Could someone verify this.

It's true that they are not at max capacity. There is supposed to come a software update that Will unlock the full power.

500HP is probably burst HP as heat will build up over time.

Please understand, Tesla regulates certain abilities because only the negative aftermath would make it to the news. For example, unlock full power...the headline would just be "Tesla batteries deplete faster than ever." And people would think the range is gone and it could really heighten range anxiety.

the big money will be creating work truck or 18 wheeler electric truck if possible

thats why tesla is testing out their semi truck for dome of their deliveries.

Impressive tech, all right. Until that high tension carbon gets one tiny nick in it, then it EXPLODES off the rotor.........

The Europeans are... well breathless! It's (still) not a good idea to compete against California - is the moral of this story. And we gave them a century of a head-start.

What a completely stupid ass argument! I hate how people want to make all these statements its just so dumb to put one side of the world VS another. Humans for being considered so smart are actually some of the dumbest forms of life ever! We cant even realize that we are all the same so we all fight these stupid wars that are started by these rich dickhead politicians who are nowhere near the front lines. You claim that California beats Europe? Maybe do some research as to where these people in California came from! The majority came from or their families originated in EUROPEAN COUNTRIES!

They could always make a dragster version with a smaller "fuel tank" if they are just runing quarter miles races. So, it wouldn't require nearly as many batteries. I get your point, but it's still impressive power-to-weight ratio.

1000lbs of battery, how much do other 1000HP engine and transmission weigh?

And then people wonder why Tesla is worth so much ! Yes they are good. Yes they are terribly over valued.
