I know Hyundai is Korean and all, but this presentation style where the host pretends to be demonstrating a product "uh, wait a second . . . what if we" and is speaking almost like it's a personal conversation between the two of you is giving me huge Nintendo Direct vibes when they demonstrate unreleased games and play them for you.

Is this a common sort of business/sales presentation method in SEA?

Another advantage of putting drivetrain components in the wheel is you can just swap them out easily rather than having to tear the engine bay apart. Really outstanding work!

On the other hand, if you hit a pothole is it gonna completely fuck up your engine? I know they mentioned stress tests, but that would worry me.

Yeah, I think they can solve those problems but I don’t want the first or second generation

That was my thought as well. The pinion gear linkage looks comparatively fragile with its smaller gears and levers. Smacking a deep pothole at speed would likely cause the pinion gear to smack against the wheel, which wouldn't be good.

Anyone remember the Hyundai debacle where the transmission gears stripped mid-drive? Yeah..... I'm not trusting their gear-making ability (or lack thereof) with precision gears inside all of my wheels. Pass.

Seems like this adds more than a bit to the unsprung weight of the wheel.
