Going to need a redesign of wheel suspension and steering systems to cater for 4 heavy wheels.

Linear induction motor, wrapped in a circle - ie the motor windings themselves are stationary as is the heavy duty cabling.

Might just need to tone down the torque and power output if you design a car with 4 of them, so the car is controllable by a clumsy driver and the battery has good range.

Pictures are AI generated, the actual items don't yet exist in real life - drumming up investment capital?

(Elon, your cars are going to look old fashioned!)
