Analysis of design features of systems and components of the Tesla Model S electric car

Abstract. Problem. The article analyzes the design features of the systems and components of the Tesla Model S electric car, which allows choosing the initial characteristics for the mathematical model of the acceleration dynamics of the electric car, determines the cost characteristics of its power plant (electric motor) and battery. Goal. The purpose of the work is to determine the initial characteristics of the systems and components of a modern electric vehicle for their further use in a  mathematical model of the acceleration dynamics of an electric vehicle. Methodology. The approaches adopted in the work to achieve the set goal include understanding the peculiarities of the initial characteristics of the systems and components of electric vehicles, which are the world leaders in the market of such vehicles. Results. In the work, a comparative analysis of the layout schemes for the implementation of transmissions in the designs of modern electric vehicles, the characteristics of their power plants (electric motors), the characteristics of energy converters (inventories), and the features of the power plant power plant of a modern electric car are determined. Originality. The conducted analysis of the design features of systems and components of the Tesla Model S electric car made it possible to form a general idea about the features of the implementation of work processes in the electric drive of an electric car, which can be used as initial parameters or characteristics during the simulation of the acceleration dynamics of an electric car. Practical value. The obtained results make it possible to formulate recommendations for the use of the characteristics of the systems and components of the electric vehicle during the simulation of the dynamics of its acceleration and to determine the energy consumption in the power system of its traction electric drive.
