More power to the rear makes sense because you get more traction at the rear under normal acceleration, not just when carrying a load. It’s pretty typical of electric cars to do this, just like it’s typical to have bigger brakes on the front of all cars, because there’s more traction at the front under braking.
There’s also the issue of torque vectoring. Without a differential, torque vectoring is essential, but under acceleration torque vectoring to the rear wheels is much more effective than to the front wheels, so that’s another reason to split the rear power but not the front.

Lol like there’s enough room back there to add a load.

It’s supposed to tow. In theory.

The load of getting this brick up to speed quickly so the driver can show off

Basically they use the same size motor everywhere, and your total torque and power is dependent on how many you’ve got?
_stranger_@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
pretty much. I believe all the cars use the same motor except for the plaid versions (or maybe just the S plaid?) that has a different motor that’s designed to hit higher rpm’s
