Specifically ev, and specifically aftermarket modifications. Whether it’s a custom shop offering a package that you could have installed, or a backyard tinkerer coming up with a new trick to make their EV ratrod faster, what do you think will be done in the future that hasn’t been done yet?

I think full dashboard replacement to have physical buttons and switches instead of the giant control screens will be a thing for customers with deep pockets.

    I think this will play out in a similar way to car tuning of today.

    These motors and batteries are designed to last 150k miles or whatever with a certain failure rate. These numbers are hit by detuning the max output by some percentage.

    If you want something to go 100% down a drag strip and care less about longevity then you turn it up some percentage and get more power.

    This can probably be done with stock hardware to some extent but likely is easier with custom controllers.

      This makes sense, custom controllers to overclock the system. Like all the Tesla launch modes, but custom and pushed to the actual limit.
