Tesla at speed
Wikipedia has some info on the Model S.
* At 70-mph ( 110-km/h ) power absorbed is 10 kW ( 14-hp )
* At 100-mph ( 160-km/h ) power absorbed is 31 kW ( 42-hp )
* Comparison of cubing the velocities, at 100-mph, aero power requirement would increase by 2.9154-X.
* Tesla engineers told CAR and DRIVER to expect optimum range for the Model S, at around 56-mph, low 70s-F, dry, calm, no air conditioning.
