alt Hacker NewsEV motors are not that heavy. Ok it is 1/4 of a tesla motor but would that make much of a difference compared to the rest of the car since the weight of an EV motor is in single % of the entire weight.
Sounds like it could be more important for drones?

Drone motors are aircooled though, so I think you actually want the radial configuration.

Saving up even few % of weight while not compromising on comfort/safety is a holy grail for any decent car manufacturer.
Not sure why the negatives in this thread (maybe too many folks hold TSLA stock?), this is properly awesome (r)evolution.

It is important if you want to put the motor in the wheelhub. Too much unsprung mass kills vehicle dynamics.
