> Their motor torque for rotation has been done before, most recently in the Focus RS.
However unlike a traditional ICE, an EV has 100% torque with almost zero latency.
> Brakes are, in 99% of cases, inferior to mechanical limited slip differentials for the sole reason that it's much easier to overheat the brakes on track
And the overheating problem is negated by virtue of the fact that it's an EV and can take advantage of regenerative braking. While brake regen varies in EV, Tesla's is among the highest. Taking your foot off the accelerator in Tesla feels like you're stepping on the brake in most other cars. In track mode a Model 3's regenerative braking force is further increased.
Another interesting aspect of regenerative braking is that it's instantaneously applied unlike traditional brakes which suffer from pedal and hydraulic lag.
