Ever since it became likely that EVs would go this route, there has been various revisionist studies suggesting, hey, unsprung weight isn’t so bad after all.

Turns out Woke unspring weight has completely different physical effects from bad old IC unsprung weight / s
In a fundamental way, the Deconstructionists and Post-Modernists are correct when they claim there is no real truth content in any of this “Science” and it is just Narratives of Power... etc.

That study was not woke. Old fashione ICE car.
“...various revisionist studies suggesting, hey, unsprung weight isn’t so bad after all.”
LOL...such a typical lib reaction, isn’t it? “We’ve changed our mind and XYZ isn’t so bad after all.”
Exhibit A: Racism.
* You’re white, we cannot admit you to this university.
* You’re white, we cannot award you this professorship.
* You’re white, you cannot fly our planes.
* You’re white, you cannot swim in this pool.
* You’re white, you cannot come to our Christmas party.
* You’re white, you deserve to DIE.
Concerning the unsprung weight, there have been advances in the hub motors to reduce their weight.
When I was a younger man, most all of the cars had a REAR DIFFERENTIAL CASING made entirely of CAST IRON and extended from one side to the other. Inside were a jam packed cluster of GEARS and TWO HALF AXLES.
I would guess that that rear axle assembly weighed more than this new hub motor (which eliminates even the drive axles). The rear axle on a Cadillac probably weighed more than an entire PRIUS (minus the batteries).
Those old vehicles had a VERY SMOOTH ride.
