Why implement a new feature for a product nobody is buying?
Why the third motor? One for each of the front wheels and one for the rear?
Two in the back, one in the front. There's also a two and four motor version.

"Tesla confirms it has given up" is the headline I want
The only true PR statement they could release.
$16.000 just to get what you paid for?
Some people sure have a lot of money to spend.

It's why everything is so expensive. So these fucks can give musk money.
Not quite.
$16k to get closer to what they promised lol Probably won’t do that much considering the added weight
Tesla now sells the tri-motor Cybertruck for $100,000 and only has a range of 320 miles.
The dual-motor Cybertruck was supposed to cost $50,000 and have over 300 miles of range. In reality, it starts at $80,000 and has 325 miles of range.
So, the cheaper model with two motors (why even) has a larger range than the full price model with three motors™®?
LMAO.
3 motors use more power than 2, so less range is expected. A car with 2 engines would use more petrol than a car with only 1.
two motors (why even)
To have mechanically independent FWD and RWD, this is actually pretty standard for all AWD BEVs and not just Tesla.
That's how the Mach E GT does it. Same motor, Ford just puts an extra one at the front.
