I designed around an arrangement like FVT used in their eVaro - twin AC motors back to back, each driving one front wheel through a drive shaft. The differential function is done within the controller(s).
The thought of removable or folding seats has been a possibility all along. At first there will only be one seat in the center for the driver.
Having the driver in the center affords (much?) better crash protection, all else being equal. The entire structure protects the driver, rather than just one corner of it. It also allows the driver to be moved farther forward (between the front wheels) into the larger volume that is created by the overall shape - which is used because it is (or should be) lower drag. One thing leads to another.
