    I was going to shit all over this thing, but if it can do ~500hp continuously that’s awesome. Wonder what kind of efficiency it has and what the cooling requirements are. That low weight puts us back into unsprung wheel motor territory, especially if it scales down well.

      Oh man, continuous 500hp, 1k short burst at each wheel. I think my car caught fire just thinking about it…

        Every time I get a faster car I need better tyres so the wheels never spin… The fuck kind of tyres would I need to stop 1000hp at each wheel spinning?

          Just have the marketing department call them “Full Self Sticking” and then they literally can’t lose grip.
