      mass market
      There’ll be 1,980 of these built

      That car is the definition of a party trick. You proved my point, so thank you.

          No, less than 2000 cars is not mass market.

          To secure your order for one of the 1,980 examples of Renault 5 Turbo 3E, contact us below. You’ll get a call back very soon to make an appointment to reserve in the retailer.
          Sounds very limited market.

          Those are golf cart and scooter motors, not suitable for highways

          BMW currently uses brushed motors in their EVs so I’m not looking to them for any advice. Maybe BMW wants their traditional central layout CM450 tech. But! DeepDrive is the first hub motor I’ve seen that did not need gearing, so that is actually cool. I think they’ll be relegated to rear wheels due to scrub radius limitations but that could be ok.
