the problem with tesla is the arrogance and a guy said . "tesla dont wants you to see the service history , and then said i understand you dont want to release the service hystory showing the drive unit was replaced 4 times under warranty. Could well be that tesla will be a other car make Who vaishes there was loads since 1900 who came and went .

Nissan probably lower the price considerably for a hyper EV, like how they lowered the price for supercar performance.
Change is coming quick in the EV world, who will want a slow CE ?

Better to concentrate on small commuterEV cars thats were the most travel is done . build bigger numbers so price comes down & everyone can afford 1 . rather than mega $ on hyper EV cars

Nissan (43% renault owned) being doing that for years with the leaf, the worlds most popular EV.
If Nissan can produce the same/better performance, quality for half the price, their EV market share could be greater than Tesla, like android is to apple. Even wipe tesla out given the three car conpanies already have a greater infrastructure.
This Nissan EV hyper car is fully charged in 30 minutes.
Porsche in on the EV action now too.
Why are the EV guys not running generators off the wheels ? Too much drag ?

For some reason they don't seem to be able to pull it together yet. The Nissan leaf is a great car, we have 2 of them at the moment. But as yet no one but Tesla has made a decent long range sedan. Can't wait until the do though!

Can't wait either, exciting times a head.
No doubt 0.5 second and better to 100km/h times in the future, 5.8L Shelby etc soundtrack pumped into the cabin via some bose speakers .

it will never work number one the impacts from the wheel straight absorbed by the electric motor soon nukes it to bits. Number 2 wheels are unsprung waight would need to be ultra light or it be bashing like a sledge hammer in to the chassy from the exess waight if you drive in to a pot hole. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/ed/Car_diagram.jpg/300px-Car_diagram.jpg

Just as well there are Japanese automotive electrical and mechanical engineers who do not believe in ' it will never work' but have a ' we will find a way to make it work' (and be reliable for the customer) attitude. https://youtu.be/Y2tlXHiPTFY nsk - world's first transmission equipped wheel hub motor The 2018 re-styled Nissan Leaf battery electric (40 kwh) is a vehicle that is likely to seen on nz roads in the years ahead. Range of 240 kilometres (or minus) good enough of many commuters to not have to plug in at work. https://youtu.be/DDgymo4y1Gc?t=27m23s (Nissan Leaf 2018 - along side with old leaf at 31.30)

EV in cities, great short range simple solution for nerds, but to haul the 2 ton wake board boat and all the gear for the summer holiday from Christchurch to Wanaka or haul your Tandem trailer loaded with a ton of gravel to the bach ya dreaming mate.

because its the old adage Energy in = energy out, ya dont get something for nuthin, having said that I guess they are already using regenerative braking.

Towing will obviously drain the battery more, but with a 600km range and 700Nm of torque it may be doable with Nissan's hyper EV. If not just pull into one of the charging stations down that way and have a cup of tea, 30 minutes later you are fully charged and on your way again. Or do a 5 minute quick charge if only a 1/4 battery needed.
I'd be more concerned how Nissans hyper EV is going to make a "Fiat" Demon slow.

That old myth 'perpetual motion' can't exist in our atmosphere.
