those appear to be suspension height and play adjusters, similar to hydraulic and pneumatic systems. torsion bars do the real heavy lifting. I'm not certain the term "wheel damper" applies to the linear EM or to some other component.
They are doing it for performance, as would I, but I would also extend the concept of regenerative absorbtion into the engine compartment and the braking system.
I doubt that bolt-on components would get us where we want to go, but the new developments are "stunning."
