AtlasP 1,437 Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 Also, am I reading this right that the T3 is wider than even the Nikola/as wide as the Monster V3? That sounds awful. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RetroThruster 344 Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 Heck, the modded v2 with bigger battery and tire is the perfect combo:/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TheTraveler 0 Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 Biggest downside for me is the max load of 100kg comparing to the previous 120kg Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tokumeino 21 Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 To sell in EU, they should update http://www.begode.com/证书certificates My opinion is that EU citizens should take care of all the fake certificates provided by Ali sellers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

This becomes a bit more than 30 as I have a 2.5in tire on mine for around 3000km now. Very comfy. (No I didn't modify the shell. I just picked a very compact 2.5in tire. Clearance is small when the tire is new. After a few km it turns silent.) Do you think that 2.5 in. tire fits the Tesla v2 as well. If so, where did you order it from ?

Otherwise as you pointed out, it wouldn't make much sense. Even if the numbers are imaginary, then it would make more sense to up the numbers instead of the other way round.

It's the CST C1488 16x2.5. It's a sensitive install but done correctly, after the wear in period it's smooth sailing. Don't know if the v2 is the same. I would believe so.

I honestly think they just punch in a made up number without any testing whatsoever as to that Quote Link to post Share on other sites

On the tesla v1 which i remember as being 120kg max load i (90kg) + gear (at least another 5kg) would give my GF (60kg?) piggie-back rides through town for up to 20km, with her even carrying grocery bags on some occasions without issue, but a lot of positive and funny reactions along the ride, especially at red lights when she would dismount and remount when the light turned green lol. So i too think the figure is a BS figure like most of their figures are. Also don't give piggie-back rides or even worse carry a girl in front of you (like a princess) as it is incredibly reckless and dangerous (i'd always give her my helmet at least) Edited January 14 by xiiijojjo Quote Link to post Share on other sites
drader 8 Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 It's mostly a made up number. Just don't jump and you will be fine. But the pedal column is a longer piece of aluminum to work with the hollow design, and if it is that cast / cheap aluminum I can see it being weaker where it attaches with those 4 small screws.

Scottie888 542 Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Being that the axle attachment geometry seems weaker & with all of the hollow bore bearing issues plus the additional weight/width, I'm finding it hard to imagine the V3 being any sort of upgrade over the older versions. 'Cept the battery ofcos. Personally I'd go for the 84v MSX that still available on at least one of the ali stores. Tried, true & with more capabilities. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Popular Post Carl Viktor 348 Posted February 15 Popular Post Share Posted February 15 Hello everyone. I have ordered the new Tesla V3 to Finland. It looks like there will be a long wait but I hope to be able to give you my first experiences in early spring both here on the forum and on YouTube. See you soon Quote Link to post Share on other sites
alcatraz 544 Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 (edited) I'll wait for the V4 with the updated shell 3in tire and 100V battery @ 1800Wh. Until then I'll enjoy the lighter weight of the v1. The tesla wheel well is wide enough to support a 3in tire. The radius from the axle isn't large enough, so the shell needs a redesign. Adding 1kg+ for a hollow motor is something I'm not looking forward to one bit. Edited February 16 by alcatraz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
