> instant torque that an electric vehicle puts out just shreds a gearbox

Doesn't the Porsche Taycan have 2 gears? and it actually beats Tesla Model S in 0-60 times

Plaid S is due this year to take back the crown. Curious if it adds a gear or just bigger motors.

Model model S (okay, any dual motor version) have different gearing on the front and rear wheels, so that more power can be sent to the front as speeds increase.

Roadster is due out this year with a 1.9s 0-60 (and an 8.9s quarter mile).

Can anyone here lend me a quarter million please?
