Porsche's production confirmation restates those power and acceleration specs, along with the 500+ km (311+ mile) range and accompanying 800-volt charging system that Porsche says can bring the floor-integrated lithium-ion battery up to 80 percent in 15 minutes. Porsche also reiterates the concept car's wireless charging capabilities.

Mission E concept was powered by a pair of permanent magnet synchronous motors teaming up for about 590 hp (440 kW). That power number and the acceleration estimate of 3.5 seconds for the 0-62 mph (100 km/h)

Your power company would need to upgrade all the lines between your house and the fucking substation in order to deliver that many amps even at fucking 3-phrase.

Nearly a century and a quarter after that first electric "Porsche" made its debut, Porsche will bring its new all-electric car to the streets. It says the production Mission E will appear at the end of the decade. It will be investing €700 million (approx. US$758.5 million)

Yeah, except for how it's not all about the battery at all you silly cunt.

Tesla have had years to package them, get their controller down right, convince suppliers to give them good deals, start building facilities, etc.

Porsche are now playing catch up, and if the best they can do is something that matches the CURRENT model s due for release in 2020, they're going to lose. Tesla can launch an updated S in 2019 that destroys the porsche in performance figures while benefiting from being a known brand and having all the little issues sorted out.

Go learn how electrical delivery works and get back to me.

You want to deliver [x] watts you must supply [volts]*[amps].
Your voltage is set, your amps are limited by wires.

If you want to charge 70kwh of battery in 15 minutes, you literally need to upgrade all the wiring going from the charger to the substation or else in the middle of summer when everything's hot and everybody is using air-con, your dumb ass drawing all that current will cause a fire.

Unless porsche are including a 50kwh pack in the price of the car and their marketing assumes that gets charged slowly and then dumped hard into the car.
Which, by the way, will NOT be wireless. That will require such a thick pure copper cable that in nigger countries, it will be stolen.

Whether or not they can compete with Tesla is irrelevant. Even Tesla is in its infancy, they're only taking baby steps towards what an electric vehicle could become.

The underlying issue that cripples everything is battery capacity. No matter how you try to cut it you're still held back in range and power output by your energy storage medium. No conventional chemistry found on the market today delivers the energy density required to really compete with gasoline because pound per pound batteries are just god awful. If you take the weight of the entire battery unit out of a Tesla you're looking at well over 1100lbs. If you took all the individual cells out of the casing, cooling, and charging circuitry you'd still probably 800lbs~. Thats 800lbs that delivers a range of less than 300 miles before it needs to be recharged which can take a whole day.

15 gallons of gas weighs something like 120lbs, and if you're driving a little econobox that can take you 450 miles or more.
Granted the gas powered vehicle has a big heavy engine while the electric vehicle doesn't, but it really puts into perspective just how poor our current batteries are at holding energy.

If this situation is ever significantly improved upon then it would be a totally radical change, but thats still a long way over the horizon. Companies are dipping their toes into EVs now as an investment in the future. So it doesn't matter whatsoever if Chevy, Porche, or whoever makes a vehicle somewhat worse off than a Tesla. This a battle for 10 years from now, not today.

Stop yourself. You are ignorant on this subject. Electricity is a recipe that can be manipulated. I just gave you the perfect example. A Taser. It's only powered by 12 volts but can produce 50,000 volts. Electricity can deliver anything you want it too. Any amount of volts, amps, watts, or joules. Stop shitposting.

>>14002237
It's a power line. It can deliver electricity for as long as electric company can produce it.
>>
>>14002290
The lines themselves can only carry a certain amount of power before they fail.
Anon is correct in stating that our power delivery infrastructure is not capable of handling such high demand on residential lines.

If you have a very high capacity battery then there is a hard limit on how fast you're able to charge it from any plug inside of a house. You'd need to be drawing power from a substation feeding off of high voltage industrial/commercial lines to charge a large battery quickly.
Hell, even industrial lines fail from time to time when overloaded.
>>
I said this years ago.

Telsa absolutely will not be able to compete once the major manufacturers get involved.

Tesla just fills a niche currently. Unless they find some breakthrough and patent it they won't be able to sustain once the VW groups, BMWs, Mercedes, Audi, and Porches of the world start out producing them, out budgeting them, and out marketing them when they deem the electric car a worthwhile investment.

Jeebus Christ! They don't have to deliver anymore than they can carry. I already said you can boost/add ANYTHING you need on the receiving end of that power line. You can reduce ANYTHING you need as well. There is no need to "pump" more juice over the power line. What it's delivering is perfectly sufficient to be manipulated on the user end.

YOU RETARDS

This won't impact Tesla at all. Porsche is a luxury brand for the upper class. Tesla is setting its sights on the middle class. Tesla is already established as the de-facto electric car manufacturer if you want electric and can afford it. The major manufacturers have already given people a bad taste in their mouth with long term reliability on their electric vehicles. No intelligent person will touch a used electric car because the batteries cost thousands to service. More than an engine and transmission replacement combined. Fuck that shit.

The Mission E will probably be awesome. It might even be better than the p85d, but it will also be crazy expensive. I see more Tesla's in my daily commute than I see Porsches, period.

The only reason why EV's aren't catching on like they should is it's difficult to charge them. You need a station installed at your home and other than that, where the fuck do you go?
>>
>>14002309
>Tesla is setting its sights on the middle class
Yes that $100,000 car is right up my ally as a middle class highschool math teacher. Thank you, Tesla!

>Tesla is already established as the de-facto electric car manufacturer
Correction, Telsa currently fills a niche producing a unique oddity.
>>
>>14002307
It flat out sounds like you know nothing about electricity.

X amount of power needs to get into the battery. If you want to charge a battery quickly then you're putting more power into it over a shorter period of time. No different from a quick charger for a cellphone, the only fundamental difference between an EV and a cellphone is the capacity of the battery.
A quick charge adapter for a phone will use higher amps to deliver more watts to the device over a shorter period. Stating this over and over doesn't change the issue of what the lines can carry.

An 85kWh battery is never ever going to be changed 100% within an hour from a residential line. Ever.

>>14002308
>They don't deteriorate from electricity.
Yes, actually they do. Power lines can get so hot that they expand, to a visible degree, and physically break from their own heat. I'm not talking about breakers or transformers, I'm talking about the lines themselves failing because they can only carry a finite amount of power. Residential lines are limited in load, much more so than industrial lines.

>citation? source? any information at all to back that up?

>>
>>14002325
It's like you are totally ignoring what I'm telling you. You keep stumbling on what the power line can deliver...which isn't important for charging or quick charging a battery for an electric car when I can take that power from the line and make any charge of electricity I want on my end. I can choose to make 1 million volts with it or only 1 volt. I can do this with watts, volts, amps, or joules. I can boost or step down any one of those things at any level I choose. You seem to think "Herp derp it can't be done by plugging it into the wall therefore it can't be done". You don't plug the battery into the wall socket stupid nigger. You plug your charging station into the wall and your battery into the charging station. It's your fucking charging station that will convert the electricity from the power line into the "electrical recipe" or more correctly, the electrical charge the battery requires. I cannot possibly explain it any simpler for you.
>>
>>14002364
>this uneducated shit eating retard just keeps making the same ignorant point over and over

The lines have finite capacity. Not a single thing you bothered to type out is of any consequence because you fail to understand this singular fact.
A residential line has a maximum load potential, and a neighborhood full of people charging their high capacity EVs while running air conditioning in the summer is going to quickly reach that potential. That is the point that the other anon was making.
You are fixating on stepping voltage because it is the single thing you understand about electricity, and that is meaningless. There is finite potential to deliver power, your ability to modulate the delivery makes no difference.

>>14002341
Brown outs happen all the time during the summer when lines are stressed. Everywhere in the developed world. High voltage lines have to be periodically replaced because of heat fatigue.
At least try to make a real point.
>>
>>14002391
>Brown outs
I hate this shit. Gets up to 115F during Summer here and moment everyone is running their aircons the power cuts in and out every couple hours.

We get scheduled outages to take load off the grid as well.

If I can use your magic shit-box converter to make anything I choose, why can't I make a converter that will take a power outlet and have it make a megawatt? A gigawatt? Why not use your converter box to take an electric generator and power a whole town with it?
>>
>>14002287
You're a fucking dumb cunt.
>>
>>14002391
You aren't powering a factory. The power line doesn't have to deliver more than they can bear. This is like everyone in your neighborhood or city adding one more appliance. I haven't been talking about stepping voltage ONLY. It's an example. You keep ignoring watts, amps, and joules and that they can be manipulated as well on the receiving end of the line...even though I have repeated it often.

You can take any input current and modulated it to higher voltage, lower volts and higher amps, or what have you. Only thing you can't do is directly increase the total power of the input. You're only modulating that finite quantity that is getting delivered.
He seems to quite literally think that you can put some magic circuit in the mix and increase the total power delivered.

Jesus dickhead, your whole neighborhood does not NEED to buy electric cars. You are trying to draw 70 cunting kWh in the space of 15 minutes through a power system that is already right on the edge. Even IF your house wiring would hold up (it wouldn't), the fucking wires going from the substation would not deal with that much power draw, they would fucking melt. In order for Porsches bullshit to be true, you would need a dedicated 600v line going to your house.
>>
Once carbon nanotubes come into play around 10 years from now, I might consider buying an EV.

Still though, those shitty Tesla's can burn through 75kwh in just three hours? Most engines only burn 200g of fuel a kWh. What the fuck is supposed to be so much more efficient here?

85kWh, thats the large battery Tesla offers. A slightly more modest 70 kWh figure is what the other anon is referencing.
Try to calculate how much power needs to get delivered to your wall outlet to the charger in order to charge that battery from 0% to 100% in exactly 2 hours. Then 1 hour.

Its not that far off, he might have just made a typo.

>>
>>14002514
Pretty much what i based it off.

Think of a family of, say, 5 in the summer holidays with the air-con cranked and all the kids at home using TVs and shit, i'd say 40kwh is pretty fair.

If we go by the national US average it's even more ridiculous. Double the power a house uses in 24hrs over the course of 15 minutes.

Not really because Porsche is creating a higher priced electric car and Tesla is making an affordable one. Just like higher and lower end gasoline powered cars. Like Toyota Corolla and an Audi A7.

>>
>>14002546
Turbos, diesel, and tandem electric engines are the future.
Full electric vehicles has too many hurdles for them to realistically clear in any foreseeable period.

We'll probably have some 2L i4s with twin turbos, variable timing, high output lasers replacing spark plugs, and computers totally controlling all engine characteristics to squeeze out every tiny fraction of a mile per gallon. Put an electric engine over the rear axle with aggressive brake regeneration. Thats what we're likely to see in the average cheap sedan 10 years from now.
50mpg+ gas electric hybrids, 70mpg+ diesel electric hybrids.

I don't think its fair to compare those two. Dyson did come up with great tech relating to vacuums, but then proceeded to just patent it anyway. Tesla cant really patent the use of battery and motor usage in EVs and all the software that comes with it.

tesla's been building up their supercharger infrastructure in the background and will have all of both costs and corridors going across the center of the country by then.

all the while, battery tech is improving, and this is assuming stuff like lithium-air and sodium batteries dont take off

Telsa needs to first make some money.

I hope the big car companies really get put in some pressure with the electric cars BUT Telsa still hasn't made any money. And one of their big sources of income now is selling credits to the other car manufacturers that aren't as 'green', but those companies are needing less and less of those as they get more efficient and come out with hybrid and electric offerings of their own.

...also, I should add, I just drove a Tesla P85 S and there were a few key problems I see: You're really paying for the technology, but the interior is pretty bare, boring and uninspiring. I think after you get over the tech bit it would be a boring car to own. Charging took forever, and needed better power than I had available in Burgerland. Also the door handles were bullshit, and broke / got stuck in the out position. Ludacris power mode was certainly fun but I think after you take your friends out a few times it would get old after a while.

The thing about the "Tesla isn't making money" meme is it ignores that the only reason Tesla isn't making money is because it goes into their charging network and battery plant. In order to actually compete on the same level, at some point everyone else has to buy in or invest just as much into doing the same thing over again.

Well sure, and I'm not sure how far along they are in their investment. I keep hearing 'next year we'll be making money' but that's been for a few years now. I hope they do.

However, companies that have lots of other business offsetting the cost of developing their own electric car manufacturing have some significant advantage there. I mean VW is a huge company, and so is Daimler, and a bunch of other companies that now have their electric dev teams now.

>Ludacris
Oh on the car I drove to have maximum power there was a "Ludacris" mode, I think a throwback to Spaceballs.

And it is fast from start. I did a bunch of runs and it is really fun, but it lays down pretty fast after that initial rush. After 3-4 runs it is much slower than when you first do them though, I think because everything heats up and it pulls power out so you don't cook anything. For sure the later 'acceleration runs' were much slower than the first. Obviously also eats a bunch of battery and can hear the cooling fans come on.

After leaving it for a few hours and then doing some more acceleration runs it was back, but then quickly lost power again. Problem with that car is the acceleration from zero is the only interesting thing about it, so, that's what everyone wanted to check out.

The 'gigafactory' is by far their biggest investment and I wouldn't expect to see real profits any time before it is in volume production for a relevant time period. That will make their cars look like a side project.

This is Ludacris btw, that was the joke.
>>
>>14003540
They had to build the plant, they're setting up charging networks around the world and they needed to pay back the government loans.

They're very nearly at the end of their large costs and will begin reporting profit in 2017/2018. It's why i have $2k of tesla stock right now.

making massive losses doesn't matter as long as you have cashflow and revenues

look at ford 10 years ago. this is nothing as it's actual capital investment rather than just normal operating losses

The question is will BMW, Porsche and Mercedes yank a bunch of electric car customers in the meantime.

and Telsa has high customer satisfaction, but terrible reliability, so basically you have fanboys/girls driving them for fashion now and they have another car - I think as electric becomes a real alternative and it isn't just people driving them to be green/first/fashionable/etc people will be way more upset when the shit breaks.

Early adopters have been pretty understanding.

>mercedes
Their only electrics use Tesla drivetrains
>Porsche
Mission E is going to be significantly more expensive and many years late, with the only real advantage being that it looks better and tracks better. I have to wonder if those things will remain true in 5 years.

BMW could potentially do something interesting. Right now the i3 is more of an early adopter car by far than a model S due to low range (even with ICE) and looking like a fat pug.
>>
Porsche/VAG will have to build their own fast charger networks in NAmerica, Europe, China and Japan.

They will have battery sourcing issues. Which is the bottle neck in Tesla and every other EV's production.

Why do they have to make some big bumbling shitbox panamera like car. Build something smaller.

And quit making everything cost hundreds of thousand of dollar.

Porsche loses.

Maybe the next electric car shouldn't even look like a car??

Never played any Grand Turismo game?

RR = Rear engine Rearwheel drive example: Toyota MR2
FR = Front engine Rearwheel drive example:
Toyota Supra

Except the mr2 is MR, retard. It's mid engine not rear. The Porsche 911 is RR
