Marvel at the engineering. A Tesla electric motor is only around 20 cm long and round. It weighs just over 30kg, you could carry it. Compare that to the combustion engine in the front of a car, weighing around 200kg. The Tesla electric motor also has at least twice the power of the engine in the combustion car, and uses 70% less energy. It will run for hundreds of thousands of kilometres without any servicing of any kind. At the end of its life nearly 100% of its parts can be remade into a new electric motor.
