The incompetent executive was intentional. He’s a media distraction that won’t get in the way while they rip open America’s asshole with a hot iron fire poker from the house of Representatives.
He has to wait for Elon to give him a list of Tesla exclusive suppliers to exempt from all the tariffs
Which is a problem in of itself and why I will never own a new car of any marque. I will continue to own my old pre-2005 vehicles without data collection or GPS tracking and fix them until it is no longer feasible, and figure out how to custom electric swap the chassis when the time inevitably comes.
Tesla are “nice” as long as you overlook the fact that they’re software data vacuums on wheels that you never actually own, only “license” from Tesla.
The benefit is driveline efficiency- by eliminating all gears/CV joints/axles and only having one or two bearing races rotating, you reduce driveline friction losses and “wasted” rotational inertia to effectively null. With electric vehicles every single watt per mile matters, even shaving 0.1% off helps bunches. It also reduces part count, and thus cost too.
Per wheel motor drives also allows significantly more advanced torque vector traction control.
The downside is just what you say, mechanical isolation- the motor is now in a dirtier, harsher environment, the power cables must now flex continuously with the suspension and will be a very high risk failure point, and the outboard wheel now has a significantly higher unsprung mass meaning the suspension will need to be beefier and be less effective at dampening road vibrations to the rest of the vehicle.
But Trump will in 3 days, and then his buddy Musk can buy it up.

Truely good bread can be eaten completely alone and taste amazing.
I know it’s not much vs the cabin, but every watt matters.
Pig Boy Huffman is a Nazi himself, he’ll never ban links to a fellow nazi’s platform and I’m guessing will start purging mods who do ban those links.
