I was seriously tempted by the first incarnation of the Three EV, even went to Shelsley to see a demo, I don't think the original drive train partner going pop helped, IIRC the range touted back then was 150 miles I think the quoted 120 miles range for the EV3 was only when it was going down hill 😁, closer to 12 miles in the real world. Hopefully things have improved since then.

... Some suggestions for the Engineering team: - simple hub motors for the front wheels for regeneration purposes with braking? 3x3 drive perhaps  - consider an optional lower seating position if you dont have to deal with the exhaust under the driver's seat! - maybe make the side blades an ellipse? - ask Elon if you can use some of his latest batteries (wonder if a Super3 can be deployed from a Cybertruck?  ) Thought of some more: am sure they are listening - try and get the motor into the same space as the bevel box, replacing it! - if you do that and can remove the centre console, consider an overall width shrink to M3W width... you can always put one of the battery blocks into the front passenger footwell! - the sideblade battery cooling holes would be nicer if they looked like a Merlin engine exhaust stack (just saying!)

they cannot even sell the new three wheeler. No dynamic braking? really? Growing up in San Francisco the electric buses had dynamic braking even in the 1950's. Hardly a new technology.
