  • weak electric motors? electric motors will outperform an ICE any day of the week...problem is providing the electrical power with batteries and capacity....case and point? Mitsubishi's MIEK EVO - 4 in-wheel electric motors each delivering 300 ft./lbs of torque...problem with that car? battery capacity....

  • Oh how genius. Make rich people think they are the shit in there new car at the same time saving the planet!! My goodness the lies keep on costing money. Save the planet.. the planet will eat your children before we destroy or alter it.

  • @JonTheChron see? there's the answer i was hoping for, thanks (:

  • @TozeDT I don't really think it's a pertinent question! It's an electric motor, why would it jam? Its basically a shaft between 2 bearings

  • @JonTheChron i'm sorry if i ask pertinent questions...and i bet you're an audi engineer to know that right? ^^

  • @andrespcp Wheels are sic, BTW.

  • @TozeDT Do not act-a-fool. That was obviously though of.

  • i was thinking...having an engine for each wheel...does that mean that if one of the engines fails that wheel will be locked and you will have a really nasty accident?

  • they do realize they are still burning fossil fuels to generate enough power to charge the damn thing right?

  • @jayjaylen75 a car running out of gas doesnt have the same effect as a motor on one of the wheels (motors) malfunctioning.

  • You have to start some where to initiate a proprietary and and least we have a new start. lets hope they don't kill the new line of electric cars because in the next year or two I will buy new if It can save me trips to the pump. It cost me 47$ at the pump a week soon to be over 50 that's 200$ a month I put forward to these 40,000$ cars. But lets hope we get more competition to lower these prices. I also noticed the government offers a big tax cut for new e-car buyers.

  • @JeansForLife : the same thing that would happen when a petrol powered car runs out of gas or throws a rod while driving down the highway...that was a dumb ass question, lol.
