When it said “tri-motor” I envisioned three V-8s in series connected to the same drive shaft.

Three electric motors would be far less of an engineering feat.

How much damage when they dropped it.?

I envisioned the Ford Trimotor aircraft. I rode on one 50 years ago.

That’s the point.
You can package 3 Electric Drive Units.
3 ICE V8’s not so much and it’s an electric vehicle. Duh.
