remington 17 - 4/13/2024 08:41 Doesn't a ev weigh almost twice of a gas car? More mass doesn't stop as fast.
No. Facebook says so. But no. From a quick Google search: A Model Y can weigh as much as 4,400 pounds. A Honda Odyssey can weigh as much as 4,600 pounds. They have similar tires although the Model Y tires are better.
I wonder if the brakes are as big on the Tesla because of the use of regenerative braking.
They might be enough on a grippy surface like asphalt, even wet, but under hard braking in mud or gravel they arent enough.
