Great for salted roads, I guess... As it delivers all it's EV torque to the rear axle...
Because it’s a fraction of the weight. The main chassis only weighs 150 kg.
And it can't be repaired in a minor collision. Those integrated rear wings are poor design for crashes. See insurance premiums.
Carbon fiber to save weight? Batteries back then were even heavier than batteries now and this is a small car, they're meant to be light.
