I think there just isn't a production EV for someone who's a motorhead type of car enthusiast. Valve sizes and intake port shapes and rod lenghts, firing orders, flat vs cross plane, exhaust sounds... What on a production EV could take those same things when we don't even know how many poles are on the stator and if they are wired in a delta or wye configuration? I find the design of electric motors and controllers fascinating. But on production EV's today these specs are nearly impossible to find. You look up the specs and other than voltage and kWhs, most of it is how much power, acceleration and charging time. What's the gear ratio? What kind of transistors are they using for PWM? Could we at least have a picture? Some full teardown and rebuild videos? Any mods? Can I add a few windings to get more torque? Make take a few away and increase top speed?
