Do the 32kg include the inverter and reduction gear? I highly doubt they do. My guess is that with those included it weighs AT LEAST 100kg, probably closer to 200kg.
I can't find any details on what Siemens includes in their weight figure.
Even if all the numbers are comparable (I'm pretty sure they are not), the Siemens motor (apart from being flight rated) is able to continuously output 260kw, the Tesla motor isn't even close to that. I've personally tried it a few times on the Autobahn and the Tesla limits the output to about 100kw (displayed) after less than a minute of full throttle. |

Interesting, that would put the power to weight ratio down to combustion engine levels.
I found this http://www.teslarati.com/tesla-model-s-weight/ that supports your thought by putting it at 150 kg.

Well they don't have a transmission so that shouldn't be a concern.

In did try to correct for this sort of thing by picking one of the lower kW ratings for the Tesla. I was not aware it was that drastic. If we account for this the Tesla is almost in Honda accord territory. That's rather disconcerting given Musk citing figures like the ones I outlined. https://youtu.be/PULkWGHeIQQ?t=41m30s
