Is this 1,360-hp supercar cursed?
Almost exactly a year after a rare $1.5 million-plus Koenigsegg [
https://www.autoblog.com/category/koenigsegg/
] Agera RS crashed [
https://www.autoblog.com/2017/05/12/koenigsegg-agera-rs-crashes-in-testing/
] during testing in Sweden, it's happened again. To the same, repaired [
https://www.autoblog.com/auto-repair/
] supercar.
Swedish outlet Teknikens Varld reports [
http://teknikensvarld.se/koenigsegg-kraschade-i-trollhattan-i-dag/
] the crash happened last week after the Agera RS crashed into a ditch in a
rural area near the National Electric Vehicle Sweden (NEVS) headquarters
where Koenigsegg test-drives its cars. It confirms it's the same vehicle
that crashed in May 2017 after the driver lost control of it on the wet
track.
According to The Drive [
http://www.thedrive.com/news/20990/one-off-extremely-expensive-koenigsegg-agera-rs-crashes-during-testing-again
], it's an Agera RS Gryphon, an all-carbon fiber, 3,075-pound beast with
24-karat gold leaf trim that does a ridiculous 1,360 horsepower and 1,011
pound-feet of torque [
https://www.autoblog.com/2017/04/13/koenigsegg-agera-rs1-offers-1-360-hp-does-0-60-in-2-8-seconds/
]. It was originally built for U.S. car collector Manny Khoshbin before it
wrecked last year shortly before delivery.
The Swedish supercar maker reportedly set to work on a replacement Gryphon
following that wreck while pledging to repair the crashed model for use as a
factory test and demonstration car.
It's not clear what caused the most recent crash. The reader who submitted
the photo said it was clear from skid marks the car had been on both sides
of the road. It also wasn't clear whether the driver suffered any injuries.
Teknikens Varld says it's believed to be the first time the repaired car had
been driven in the open since the 2017 crash.
The Agera RS is the world's fastest production car [

Re: [EVDL] EV Brakes
Then again, the driver could be still hard braking. I have heard some people say that they frequently use the brakes to regen energy to extend range. Makes no sense whatsoever. Heavy regen is not free energy, it is exactly the opposite. Yes, it recovers maybe 55% of keinetic energy compared to an ICE car that throws away 100% of kinetic energy. But still you are wasting fully HALF of the battery energy used to get to speed. But if the car is not coming to a stop and the driver is only applying the brakes to slow down because she was otherwise going too fast for traffic and conditions, then that is no free energy, it is wasted energy. Sure it is less waste than an ICE, but it is still *very wasteful* compared to coasting to preserve ones kinetic energy instead. Just a possibility. This report claims 55% recovery during regen: http://proev.com/LLPgs/LLei0005.htm Again, any use of regen that is not for the purpose of coming to a required stop, is throwing away 50% of the car's kinetic energy, and is an indication that the car is tailgating or generally speeding above the average speed of vehicles in his lane (also wasting energy).

Tesla Model X used as an all-electric ‘rapid responder’ vehicle for an

Tesla vehicles are surprisingly starting to invade all segments of emergency
vehicles.
After police and fire departments, now an ambulance service is using a Tesla
Model X as an all-electric ‘rapid responder’ vehicle.
Over the past few years, we have seen an impressive number of police and
fire departments using electric vehicles.
Tesla’s vehicles have surprisingly been especially popular despite their
higher prices.
But when it comes to first responder vehicles, performance is more important
than price, which is why we are now seeing a Tesla Model X ambulance.
At the Rettmobil 2018, an emergency mobility conference in German, UMCG
Ambulancezorg, an ambulance service based in the Netherlands, unveiled a
modified Tesla Model X all-electric SUV to use as a “rapid responder
vehicle.”
Tesla’s Model X has a range of up to 295 miles (475 km) and with 88 cu-ft of
cargo stock, it can be modified with a significant amount of equipment in
the back, but UMCG Ambulancezorg hasn’t released pictures of it yet (if you
have any from Rettmobil 2018, please send them our way).
The company said on Twitter about the unveiling of the vehicle:
One of the important steps in sustainable Emergency services in the
Netherlands. We take responsibility!
As far as we know, it’s indeed a first for a Tesla vehicle. It could also
help push for the electrification of full-size ambulance vehicles.
While it’s a first for an ambulance service, we have previously seen Tesla
Model S and Model X vehicles used as “emergency vehicles” by a fire
department.
Police departments have also started to use Tesla vehicles.
Ontario Provincial Police got a Model X and Swiss Police replaced diesel
cruisers with 7 Tesla Model X 100Ds.
In the US, the Los Angeles Police Department and the Denver Police
Department are both using Model S sedans as part of their fleets.
In Europe, Scotland Yard says that it is considering the vehicle as a police
cruiser and Luxembourg police just deployed two Tesla Model S vehicles into
operation.
