Although plastic particles in the air are increasingly coming into focus, knowledge about their distribution and effects is still limited. Chemical analyses from Leipzig now provide details from Germany for the first time: Around 4% of the particulate matter consists of plastic. Around two-thirds of this comes from tire abrasion.
If they’re using the stock low rolling resistance tires, there’s actually less friction.
Not to say that’s necessarily a good thing, since it’s easier to spin the tires with all the extra ev torque.
The computer stops you from spinning the wheels. I chirped the tires on my CRZ making a measly 150lb-ft way more than I’ve ever chirped my MachE GT at 600lb-ft…which is 0 times. I think most the tire wear is going to come from turning/cornering in this case.
Lol the 80kw motor in my Ford c-max chirps the tires every 3rd takeoff, and like 90% of the time when roads are moist. Could just be because my model is a compliance car, but the traction control suuuucks.
You don’t have to floor the pedal every time. Maybe they should only unlock max torque on kick down.
