  • Thanks for taking the time to walk me through this, I have a passive interest and really know very little about the process. Wouldn’t the custom fabricated parts come down to how to fit an electric motor to an existing drive train and installing regenerative brakes? Plenty of room in a mostly empty engine bay to pack in batteries and wrap them water tight, right? I’m sure there are dozens of different sized axels and drive trains but is there really so much variability there that every job needs to be custom fabricated?









  • I meant like their tactile hardware, specifically. They make things that feel dialed in and designed for intuitive use, aesthetics, and quality feel. Considering car manufacturers have been big fans molded plastic with sharp unbeveled edges for the past 20 years with uncomfortable interiors, I’m curious what they would come up with instead.

    I don’t do much under the hood work with my computers though and I’ve heard that they sacrifice a lot of that versatility to make users of all experience levels pretty intuitive, so I can imagine that would be frustrating for someone working on them. So I think I get what you’re saying.
