But they only have one gear right?

That would raise the top speed quite a bit, even a 2 speed on a tesla woul make a big difference

Better have a tachometer, no way you’d be able to gauge the revs by ear

Wish they’d start selling kits that turn old classic cars into electric cars so we’d have stunning looking cars running on electricity.. More power and more efficiency. + 0 gas mileage.
But the only thing hindering this is the fact that we’d have to fill the classic car with 1 tonne of batteries.

Either design a small battery that can hold impossible amounts of charge or extremely effective solar panels that can make electricity stupidly fast.

Engineers, please keep scratching your heads. We need that black magic to happen.

Anybody else thinking that CVT would be great with an electric motor ?
Any RPM at any speed.

I hope manufacturers still care about our little bunch of enthusiasts in the future. We all anticipate the day the manual will die, but this gives me hope.

This is great and all but how will you hear the “engine” note to know when you have to change gear

If u want to shift some thing stuff the gear box just change the number of poles on the motor or if multiple motors from series to parallel.

This would open the market for a lot of car guys that still want control of their car. Hope this happens!
