Dammit! First geopolitical pun of the season for my eyes. Take your damn star!

Michelin?

Is this the Michael Douglas from the chassis group?

The tipical inverter turns DC into 3 phase AC. This makes reverse motor rotation a trivial thing accomplished by the controller.

Turning any diff into a spool is certainly within the capabilities of anyone considering an ICE to EV swap.

Ahem...this is not bribery. This is UAW modus operandi.

Dealership model sucks. 20+years in the business. As much as I dislike Musk, this is the better part of his plan.

I’m an old man. I’ve been in the car industry for over 20 years. If someone asks me, the first piece of advice is, never buy new.

“Now, instead of becoming an asset, it’s just a never-ending money pit”

Glad it worked for you. I've been driving since I was 12. Never have caused an accident but have actually missed other's faults. My mom will STFU when riding shotgun. All moms should. Mine let's loose once on firm ground. 

“FWD. It’s sort of like discovering that your sister has taken up raw veganism and yurt living”

“My kids play sports, soccer and wrestling”

My biggest concern is that this thing is not touted as a FFFF car. Factory Five Flexi Flyer. At some point, more power is not the answer. What good is it if the frame cannot respond beyond go-cart theory?

As someone who has been a paid test driver for nearly two decades, and someone with limited right arm motion, I can say that the one arm hindrance is likely not the issue. Lots of high level drivers loose their mojo/luck/sponsorship/drive or combination that makes the secret sauce that F1 requires. His prowess in…

50 pounds?! Is this a typo? If not, the 2-3 days testing would be quite the advantage. This is especially true considering how relatively high on the chassis the placement of this lump will be. 

Reverse start every race with order of finish determining inverse starting position for next race and current qualifying as opportunity to move up starting spots. Opportunity payout can be hashed by viewer input on previous race. Assholes can move up little and heroes can move up more.
