The stated width of the car is also a concern, both practically and potentially from a regulatory standpoint.
I have an old (1930s) garage door that the Y can just fit in with the mirrors out, 1.5" to spare on each side. (86-87" total opening).
I'll be seeing what the plausibility and cost of increasing to a standard 96 would be.
The width seems to be 85 inches, lower than the 88 inches previously announced.
See Gamma video presentation at 1:50:
Note: Chris Anthony, CEO, I believe mentioned that the European version will have a narrow path.
There have been talk to be able to reduced the width when parking, but this was never implemented,
additional weight and added complexity been the major issues.
There are pros and cons from having the engine located inside the wheels.
I think it would have been much simpler to have the motor located inside the vehicle.
A single motor would have been also cheaper, sufficient, and possibly had a lighter weight.
The in-wheel motor wheel bearing have to endure harder shocks constraints.
The cooling and the scavenging thermal energy of the motor to warm the battery and the cabin is not possible.
Having a single source for producing in-wheel motors is also an issue, while a variety
of smaller electrical motors for motorcycle have been already developed.
Previously, Michelin in 2004 presented an Active Wheel but I don't think this new challenging technology ever went into production.
