Regarding grip levels, the Pirelli Scorpions he was talking about are road touring tyres with some offroad capability. Not sure if car variant is that much different, but on the motorcycle, they have wide angular threads to provide grip on rough road with bigger and loose aggregate. This meant the contact patch is less compared to a dedicated road tyre. I believe UK ones have P Zeros. Owners please correct if i am wrong.
These EVs are crying out for an LSD. The TC kicks in at beds which suggest differential wheel spin. Alfa Romeo fitted a rather basic Torsen type (helical) LSD for their FWD Junior EV and transformed the car into a track demon from its Jeep underpinnings. But the IMs are heavy enough.
We are on the cusp of an exciting time in EVs. With solid states finally becoming a reality, we can see performance models that can now use trick parts like LSDs and possibly even an overdrive gear to boost top speed and performance.
