I will be amazed if this microsleep theory turns out to be true.
When i originally posted the idea back in the original tweet thread it was an idealistic theory for pulsing. Any time you can cut power to something you obviously make gains in energy efficiency unless it wastes energy in the switching process. Couple that with higher efficiency at higher load it made sense to me.
I simply thought what could they do across the range and as Jerome had mentioned firmware too i started to think about changes to the control hardware. I thought maybe not all cars have nav or supercharger so it can't be map based or route through superchargers. Why would it be 3rd party charging waypoints when the tesla experience is much better. It can't be dual motor based, so it's either got to be motor efficiency (logical progression - they released torque sleep) or it has to be battery mapping based.
Trouble is, once you spend time theorising, your favourite starts to lead you down a certain path and you look for facts to convince yourself the theory is the right one. Stepping back, i actually posted saying its probably a pigs can fly theory but it seems other people had similar ideas.
It does make sense but without being an engineer on electric motors who knows. If anyone can make it work it will be the tesla engineers. The automotive world are slowly acknowledging tesla as the the lead on this and the germans have already thrown ego ahead and said they are now going to do it better. Porsche.
The reason why you haven't seen motor efficiency in industrial application is because they size the motors to run at peak efficiency and set load for the application install.
