Why do gas cars not have instant torque?

A gas-powered engine generates torque by burning fuel, causing combustion, which then turns parts like the crankshaft. These powerful energies then get transferred to the wheels via the car’s transmission. As EVs don’t require fuel, they don’t produce torque through combustion.

Why does Tesla have more torque?

Two motors means they provide more torque to the wheels and different gear ratios allows better mix of torque generation at different RPMs. 4 Transfering electrons from battery to motor and generating torque is much faster than getting fuel from tank to IC engine.

How much torque does Tesla have?

Pricing
Torque	487 lb·ft @ 0 rpm (660 N·m)
Engine	Electric
Power	259 hp @ 6,100 rpm (193 kW)

Does Tesla have good torque?

Tesla’s figure boils down to 7,000-plus lb-ft of wheel torque. The unit is much different than engine or electric motor torque, which automakers measure with a dyno. Multiplying that by its first-gear ratio of 4.7:1 and also considering its final-drive ratio of 3.09:1 yields 14,000 Nm of wheel torque in first gear.

Why are Teslas quicker than gas cars?

The new batteries in Teslas cram more cells into the same space as they had in previous years, which results in longer ranges and more power. The higher energy density delivered results in a faster car.
