Hahaha - that's brilliant!
I wonder if it includes batteries?  |

I wonder if it includes batteries? It wouldn't need them if it was a Hot Wheels model.  |

Well sometimes the motabs have a named driver who is somewhat of an enthusiastic driver.
But I'm guessing this ev was down to weight.
Time will tell when we see a few more through the doors.

We tend to find the BEV tyres will last 12-15k on the driven axles, brakes will still be 12mm+ due to regen braking. If there's a lot of stop/start driving the tyres wear quicker.
Motab 'proxy' cars tend to be an absolute disgrace inside, usually smell of mouldy food, drugs or other noxious stuff... Motab 'elderly' cars are generally clean inside, a bit bashed on the outside ang generally have the heater at full chat to waft around the sweet aroma of drying wee...

What could possibly go wrong.... Meanwhile, I'll continue setting the timer on the diesel-fired preheater and filling up in less than three minutes - without having to worry about my 'fuel' being re-assigned overnight, leaving me with barely enough electric range (provided I don't want the heater on) to get to the nearest bus stop....
And coming back after a three bus, 80 minute commute to find the car has self-combusted, either due to chemistry or shame - who knows?

I really struggled with concept of this myself. |

In ICE terms, if you had your fuel siphoned, you'd report it as a crime - not that plod would turn up. With a BEV, you're making Greta smile...
