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?

Plenty of people are modifying EVs - it just takes a different set of skills.
When I first got interested in EVs it was White Zombie and Killacycle. Custom wound motors and homemade battery packs. There is no reason you couldn't do that today.
Today it is mostly people hacking into software to change performance like this plug and play options to add 50 or 150 hp to a Model 3.
