EV motors are not that heavy. Ok it is 1/4 of a tesla motor but would that make much of a difference compared to the rest of the car since the weight of an EV motor is in single % of the entire weight.
Sounds like it could be more important for drones?
- impossiblefork 11mo agoDrone motors are aircooled though, so I think you actually want the radial configuration.
- kakacik 11mo agoSaving up even few % of weight while not compromising on comfort/safety is a holy grail for any decent car manufacturer. Not sure why the negatives in this thread (maybe too many folks hold TSLA stock?), this is properly awesome (r)evolution.
- oaiey 11mo agoI do not know why people still think Tesla is a unique company. They are a regular car company now. Nothing more, nothing less. Yes, they disrupted the market and the reward is a standalone, viable car company. That is a huge achievement. But their disruption and uniqueness is gone. The rest of the car industry woke up and all are producing many more EV variants and EV cars in total.
- KeplerBoy 11mo agoIt is important if you want to put the motor in the wheelhub. Too much unsprung mass kills vehicle dynamics.
