And still more complete failure to even try to get it.

now now, there's no need to be defensive. you've got your instant torque, it just doesn't last all that long.

ps -

in terms of "not getting it" maybe figure out how dyno graphs really work. any vehicle can hit peak hp and torque in first gear and at lower speeds, they don't need to get up to full speed. dyno charts usually show hp/torque vs rpm to determine where the powerband is whereas the m5 graph you used showed a top gear run.

We don't know what our limits are, so to start something with the idea of being limited actually ends up limiting us.

According to the dyno graph, up to 70 mph (about 115 km/h) before it gradually tapers off. That's pretty much contained to the range I'm happy to stay within.

Not that I've tested it or anything.

Just passing this along … huge deal, you'd be crazy to pass it up!

oh for sure like you've said that's the beauty of em's, essentially instant full power and torque - we'll never see an infernal combustion engine do that. i was just referring to range. at a good clip with the larger batteries you're getting about 400km of playtime in the tesla and the m5 is doing 650km.

Those e-bikes are sweet. Probably scary quick too.

That's why you'll be seeing more and more hybrid supercars, as per Top Gear. On-demand power and torque while the ICE is getting up to speed.

I've noticed this around town the last year or so, maybe the same one : ) Saw it again the other day.
It's electric (I saw it plugged in). Nice design.

I like the interior as well.

You won't see many more, though. Bankrupt.

A shame really, it's a striking looking car.
Similar to (yet more sleek and well proportioned) the Porsche Panamera,
