Same great idea like non-alcoholic beer.

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.

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

Boo, Hiss. I bought a paddock pass at the 1978 U.S. Grand Prix at Watkins Glen, got to stand directly behind a Ferrari F1 car as the mechanics were tuning it up. I was about 12 feet away and the 3.0 liter 12 cylinder sounded glorious, well worth losing a bit of hearing. No way I would buy an electric Ferrari.

On a side note, as good as the 12 cylinder Ferrari and Alfa engines sounded, the 12 cylinder Matra engine in the Ligier car was the best ever as far as pure, shrieking sound.

First, what is driving this pursuit of EVs by manufacturers is their collective belief that governments world-wide are beginning to ban combustion engine cars.

Second, I believe the EV phenomenon, like all liberal pipe dreams, is purely based on emotion, it feels good. The reality is far different. Recall that ethanol was supposed to be this great leap forward, but now has been proven to be even worse for the environment, but the enviro-nut sure felt good about doing “something” at the time, and Iowa corn farmers got rich.

What is lacking in all the emotions of EV is where is all the cobalt going to come from. So enviro-nuts have told us “peak-oil”. Newsflash: Cobalt is far more finite than petroleum. And what of all the environmental factors in building and disposing of massive amounts of batteries? How much will we be taxed for processing and disposing of car batteries? And what of the massive, massive upgrades that will be required of the electrical grid system? How will YOU like have a massive electrical power line running through your neighborhood or backyard? What of the electro-magnetic fields, not to mention the obscene eyesores they will create as they crisscross the landscape. What about the acquisition of new land and right-of-ways for these new power lines, substations and power plants? And who will pay for all this?

Yeah, EV as a niche is fine, I suppose, but on a mass scale? Crazy.

after watching the electric car crash on Grand Tour, I’m not so sure I’d want one. True, that was a Croatian car, but the problem discussed on the show was that after the crash the batteries burst into fire one after another, and are hard for firemen to put out the fire...
