It’s really cool how all you torque deniers keep having to insert the word “gearing” into your rebuttals as if you can’t tell that we’re talking about an electric vehicle itt.
Evs generally are direct drive, since the motor produces maximum possible torque all at once and there’s no need to introduce more complexity and loss with a gearbox.
The particular ev that is the topic of the thread doesn’t definitively state in writing that its four wheel drive system uses four motors with no gearing reduction for the cv axles, but their 3d models show exactly that.
So even if you want to argue about torque for an ice vehicle, in the case of this thread it’s a very appropriate and important measurement, especially given that they listed the maximum drain on the battery at 57kw insert big thinky emoji.
I love pedantry as much as the next person, but you can’t seriously expect me to believe that in a thread about a van, in response to people talking about a cars torque you invoked the idea of a transmission to mean anything from a big ol 18 gear peterbilt double shifter to a rear differential.
When people are talking about cars and they use the word transmission they mean the mechanical device that lets you select gear ratios. Sorry, I don’t make the rules.
If you want to die on the “everything with gears is a transmission” hill that’s your prerogative, but it requires that you accept everyone recognizing that you don’t even know enough about cars to speak in the vernacular.

This platform is even worse than Reddit for confident idiots spouting absolute nonsense.
Show me one EV in production that doesn’t have a reduction in gearing between the motor and wheels at some point.
Gosh, as a confident idiot, you’ll have to remind me the effect a gear reduction has on torque which you’re claiming isnt important.
Don’t change the subject.
Okay:
It’s an ev. There isn’t a transmission involved.
You do understand a transmission doesn’t necessarily mean multiple ratios, right? A single ratio reduction gear is a transmission.

You’re seriously telling the person using the term in its technical definition they’re wrong?
Whatever dude, if you want to play chicken chess, that’s up to you.
Oh cool jeep, what transmission do you have in it?
I went for the Dana 44.
