Kind of wish Alta could've stuck around long enough for the 21700s and 80hp motor (not that you really need that much output in dirt anyway). It would've been neat to see the range and weight difference they might've come up with. Guess we'll see who comes up with the next EV ideas.

Looks like Harley is using the battery pack for the bulkhead. Where did I see that before?

I think this idea might have actually come from Tesla or some EV car designers. The EV "skateboard" concepts and designs with structural battery packs have been floating around for years.

The Model Y is now a single structural battery pack with the front and the rear single-piece cast bulkheads attached to it. Three large main pieces -- that's it. The rest of the car is just various small pieces bolted to that.

Ohhhh yeaaaaah

Great photographer, found a view angle that is better than what 3D renderings have been showing.

But would I still have to go to a Harley Davison dealership to buy and service one of these?
