@@laurean5998 In normal drag racing, the limiting factor is grip. With a rocket engine, I suppose the limiting factor would be the driver staying conscious.

@Das Eishorn Good point. The same (similar actually) goes for LaFerrari. 2.3kWh and 120 kW -> has been draining batteries in 66 seconds since 2013! So, this must be working like that: since the car has no gears other than the top gear, the electric motors must only be working (flat out) when hardly accelerating just in order to compensate force deficit because of lacking lower gears. Then ,I do not know either, it may have an onboard charging systems like KERS (regenerate under braking or excess ICE torque) or else .... Then this must not be such a huge problem..... May someone correct me if I am wrong, I will appreciate.

@@EbmasTR You are correct, it isn't a real issue. Though the electric motors can definitely be used to accelerate hard as they have several hundred horsepower on their own and can put down more torque at a moments notice than the ICE ever could. Based on the design of their other cars having 7 clutches in their transmissions it's doubtless that a similar technique/ mechanism is used to engage and disengage the ICE from the output shaft.

@@mattv6262 It is a single clutch, single torque converter design. Nothing fancier than that. It has a 150kW kers system, and the electric motor on the crankshaft doubles as a generator. So when not using the full capacity of the ICE for acceleration, it can be used to charging the battery. Since the performance of the car is so over the top, you can't really use the available power for more than a few seconds before you run out of space, so charging the battery is never really a problem.

Is the Electron rocket using something similar? It needs to output 1 MW for about 4 minutes or so on the first stage.

They earned everything they have starting from a garage, literally, unlike Tesla, who had billions and billions flooded into it from various sides before they even started making cars. So yea, if Rimac had the same amount of funding that Tesla has, they'd put Tesla out of business in about 12 minutes. They are a tiny company who do more work and bring more benefits to the car industry than Tesla, which is like 1000 times larger as a company. Ironically, Nikola Tesla, who Tesla company is named after, comes from the same country as Rimac.

BeyerT1 , it’s much easier to build cars in low volume, this isn’t a secret. Tesla is unquestionably the leader in electric cars and electric technology. It isn’t even close. Koenigsegg himself drives a Tesla and has talked extensively on how impressed he is with them as a company. No one can take anything away from Rimac, and why would they. The make exciting cars. And as far as I’m concerned, Koenigsegg make the best engineered cars ever produced. But you can’t really compare Tesla to them. As far as the government giving them money, that had little impact on Tesla as a company. It was a one time loan, not a monthly cash outlay as you mentioned. If I were offered a few Billion dollars with low interest, I’d probably take it too. That loan was paid off a long time ago with interest while other car companies defaulted on the loans. You seem to be very angry at Tesla? Not sure why? They are trying to make the world better for everyone. Not many companies are doing that. And note that many of there parents are open for others to use!

I'm guessing the biggest issue is lifespan. If you actually use that much power all the time, it wouldn't last long. And if you're not using it, it's not worth the price. So it only makes sense for a powerful and expensive hybrid, rather than something that's using the batteries for everything.

@@jamesaron1967 Because there's a difference between fully electric cars that depend only on batteries and use battery power 100% of the time, and HYBRID systems which only use batteries partially and to help the main engine to work. There's no reason to use such high density batteries for fully electric cars, they would be too expensive and the benefits would be minimal for that application, with massive drawbacks. You would just get a lot of power, but no range at all, lots of heat problems, and very long charging times. In a hybrid system the battery can be constantly charged and kept up with the actual engine, in an EV, it can't. To put it simply, you don't want rocket boosters on your car that will work for 30 seconds and use up a cars weight of fuel, even though they'll make the car go much faster for those 30 seconds than any car engine could. You actually want an engine, so that the car will move for a long time. That's not to say that in the future, batteries like these or even better will be in fully electric cars. Certain Chinese companies are working on completely new battery tech that might revolutionize the EV cars.
