Some use cheaper induction, more expensive switch reluctance, and other permanent magnet motors.
Think of my analysis as starting from the basic, high-level vehicle metrics and drilling down to more accurate details. Sad to say, the detailed specifics of each EV model are treated as proprietary. A generic description of parts is a little too imprecise for me.
I'm more interested in whether a vehicle is a 'Tesla killer' or just another also ran. The metrics you've described don't help in my quest.

Neither are what I recall. Perhaps they revisit and 'freshen' data. Don't know.
I thought that perhaps you were interested in predicting what a specific vehicle might do if modified.
Also-rans can be modified to return Tesla-Killer-esque performance.
