The town that I grew up in had ice cut from the lake the town was named for and loaded onto railcars to go to the west coast. That went on until the late 60's. We used to go to the pile of busted blocks that were piled up and bring it home to the farm to use for making ice cream in the old hand cranked ice cream maker. I'm fucking old....
Eh, I know a few.
Crazy story.
One weird kid used to work for me.
Ended up he liked to cross dress, then one day he told me he found a girlfriend. I figured he started liking girls. Nope. Turns out his girlfriend is a dude that's starting the transition. So they get married, and both are in the middle of their transition now. So now they're faux lesbians. Not sure if either one went all in on the conversion yet, but they both have tits now.
And they both wear chokers.

That's nice I guess.
Can you feel the road texture through the steering wheel? Does the chassis communicate through the seat and floor?
And what is the battery life towing the weight?
Figured that was possible.
Top fuel is estimated at 8k.
Twice the plaid would be 2k roughly.

Aren't EV's pretty much all individual motors directly driving the wheels now?
Picture of a car that would blow the doors off any Tesla in every way that matters.
Beautiful car! Always loved those red-headed Italians…
I know some EVs, especially plug in hybrids like my wife’s car, integrate the electric motor into the drivetrain (usually replace the flywheel with an integrated generator/starter/motor), but yeah, think most pure EVs use some flavor of linear direct drive.
I’m no expert though, so could be way off base here…and too busy to research in-depth right now.
edit: pic thread rules, the wife’s hybrid:
About the same lifespan as a top fuel dragster engine.
66 or 67 Alfa Romeo GTV. One of the best cars I ever owned. The Alfa Berlina was almost as sporty, but had four doors, plenty of room for four persons, and with standard Bilstein shocks rode like a Mercedes.

Based on the 30 second "scientific" test it didn't drop much charge for that short tow. But, IIRC, drawing large amounts of power from batteries in a short amount of time is hard on them and shortens the overall life. So maybe not the best choice for daily hard labor.
Other than that, who can tow the most don't mean shit when you try to take that 3-4 ton curb weight monster to the hunting lease in wet red clay.

I never heard of an aluminum body model in the regular cars. A few had magnesium transmission cases to save a few pounds. Some of the slightly earlier Giulia spider models has slipper skirt pistons, to reduce rotating weight. I owned:
67 GTV
66 Giulia Spider with 1600 cc engine and disc brakes. Great year for that model.
69 GTV
71 Berlina
