Thanks that's very clear.

Thanks. I agree, especially in practice, having melted plenty of RC car motors. What I can't really fathom is why (structural / traction limits aside) given good enough electronics we can't keep the motor in the constant power region (hyperbolic torque) to an arbitrarily low rpm. Aren't heat...

This is a great post thanks. But what you are really saying is the reason the gearbox improves performance is that the rear motor is (electronically) torque limited, presumably for structural reasons, so by allowing it to rev higher at low road speeds it can delivery more power at its...

Oh good info thanks. I’ve never tried those modes. Maybe they will make it a better drive experience.

The car only uses low gear under hard acceleration. Otherwise it stays in top the whole time, and feels more Tesla like. Both kick down and upshift are unnecessarily harsh and uncomfortable and ruin the car imho. Hopefully next gen Porsche will either sort it out or delete it altogether.
