Wheel torque is influenced by gearing, as this video will demonstrate. <br /><br />Tesla Roadster Specs:<br />Acceleration 0-60 mph - 1.9 sec<br />Acceleration 0-100 mph - 4.2 sec<br />Acceleration 1/4 mile - 8.8 sec<br />Top Speed - Over 250 mph<br />Wheel Torque - 10,000 Nm<br />Mile Range - 620 miles<br />Seating - 4<br />Drive - All-Wheel Drive<br />Base Price - $200,000<br />Base Reservation - $50,000<br />Founders Series Price - $250,000<br />Founders Series Reservation - $250,000<br /><br />Engineering Explained is a participant in the Amazon Influencer Program.<br /><br />Don't forget to check out my other pages below!<br />Facebook: <br />Official Website: <br />Twitter: <br />Instagram: <br />Car Throttle: <br />EE Extra: <br /><br />NEW VIDEO EVERY WEDNESDAY!
