Earlier this week, TESLA revealed their LGV Tractor unit that can accelerate from 0-60 in 5 seconds unloaded or 0-60 in 20 seconds carrying an 36.3 Tonnes load (80,000lb) and can go on to haul said load for up to 500 miles on battery power.
(TESLA use the technical term "BAMF" to promote the acceleration.)
36 Tonnes is the approximate equivalent of a Mk3 coach.
With matching battery and motor units, what would be the expected 0-60 performance of a TESLA loco hauling a Mk3 with good level rail conditions?
