Thanks for posting this ;D

I do not believe it will compete with the Roadster but will definitely give potential Tesla sedan buyers something to think about.

350 miles on a charge? By placing the motors on the wheels there is more room for batteries. Having wheel motors however generates a whole new set of issues.

On the positive, there are photos.

The vehicle has TAILPIPES ??? (for those “longer distance journeys”?) At 350 miles/charge they could probably simplify the design by removing the auxiliary power unit and those TAILPIPES!!
