Heh - I don't know the official EPA range for the Roadster...
I think they quoted 245.
Any idea yet of how the rally will change between the Unlimited and 100 Mile classes?
I probably missed "already answered" but in case not:100 Mile Class - any street legal car EPA rated below 100 miles with stock battery capacity
I probably missed "already answered" but in case not:
- which EPA test (2 cycle, 5 cycle, something else)?
- < or <= 100 ?
- if the vehicle was 140 rated new but 70 rated now due to degradation does it qualify?
A random example.What car is rated at 140?
A random example.
Pretend I said "a 245 roadster with significant degradation bringing it down to 70 rated".
So brand new Model Whatever have an advantage over older Model Whatever (with significant degradation) for example?We're not going to try and determine how much degradation, or any other parameter of the battery, except for the EPA rated range.
Do you really think it's a good idea that an identically specced 2015 Model S will pretty much always against a 2012 Model S due to degradation? That kind of says "competition open only to brand new vehicles". Seems bad to me.Yep - that's part of the challenge and the experience of making the border to border drive (that the batteries degrade over time, to some degree or another).
... Basing the classifications on EPA range seems like a reasonable way to separate the classes to me, and I realize that will make it especially tough on Roadsters and Rav4EVs. If the unlimited class gets significantly extra mileage to cover rather than just a separate classification for ranking purposes, then that will probably increase the difficulty beyond what I would take on in the Roadster.
I do hope there is at least one Roadster in this year's rally.
