Same thing everyone’s saying.
If you cared about stopping fast, the first thing to change are those sloppy Bridgestone Alenza tires to something actually high performance. That’s the limiting factor to stopping fast (aside from the weight of this whole car, but you can’t change the car… so).
Next, if you actually benefit from these brakes, it means you are repeatedly braking hard (after repeated hard acceleration), or going downhill on a tall mountain really fast. For the former, the whole point of an electric car is lost. Your converting electric charge to heat and brake dust effectively (with kinetic and potential energy in between). And even in a multi-mile downhill, you aren’t using charge recuperation effectively. I can see it in a non-electric car sort of, but an iX?
All in all, what’s the point? Impressing people who know nothing about cars, while also getting mocked by those who do?
