Same great idea like non-alcoholic beer.

It is sort of like which would you rather have, a $10 digital watch, Or a $10,000 mechanical with all the gears showing? If you have that much money to burn.

I wonder if they will work with YASA motors (duck duck go them ) and use 2 or 4 of their motors. 4 would be one for each wheel, 200hp / wheel, 42 or 48 lbs each. Batteries in the skateboard fashion below the floorboard for a low C.G. Ya, I can see this work, w/ solid state batteries coming.

Ferrari will have a tough time out-performing Tesla in this area. May do better with luxury features and user interface, but powertrain will be hard to beat.

Naysayers should understand that EVs are actually a real pleasure to drive. Extremely smooth, quiet, amazing acceleration. Yes, battery capacity & recharge time are issues, but those are improving well into the “doesn’t matter” realm, and almost never having to “fuel up” in normal use is a paradigm shift.

They will never sound like a V12.

This is a mistake. It can only boost Tesla’s stature and diminish Ferrari’s,
