how long do the rear tyres last?

Rear tires? About two seconds.

When electric cars come on-line, 12 second cars will be fairly common - and cheap. It's gonna wipe out these piston engine monstrosities. We don't need no stinkin' big blocks.

IMO, in the USA, 20 second electric cars will be the norm due to insurance, attorneys, and regulators. Think Leaf and Prius.

Due to the batteries, these cars are more about range on a charge rather than performance. As batteries improve, acceleration will be given more of a priority. You can take that to the bank. As it goes, performance would be dead simple to achieve - you just change the controller software. Manufacturers could use the same hardware for radically different power/torque levels at the motors. This is a most attractive proposition. You want double the HP? Just change the software.

With the patented Don Garlits exploder! It's easy to get 10,000 hp, it's just hard to get it for more than a fraction of a second...

I thought it was some kind of a Rocket engine. Google,,, You have to first go to Stennis Space Center if you want to go to Mars
