Consider that electric cars have no reason to be FWD, that car engines are getting more and more powerful with time, and that FWD becomes total shit above 250bhp or so.
Is FWD going to die soon?

why do you think any of the benefits of fwd go away with electric engines

Consider that petrol cars have no reason to be RWD, that asides from enthusiast markets that are increasingly priced out of reach of the average consumer, and that basic economics states that consumers will buy cheaper FWD cars.

All the batteries and shit are as low as possible for better weight distribution, there's no benefit to putting the electric motors in the front.

Not an argument.

It's cheap to manufacture therefore cheap MSRP.
There will always be poorfags needing cars.
Will not die in the foreseeable future.

Idiots can't even control FWD, so why make it worse with RWD.
People hydroplane and theirfirst instinct is to slam on the brakes

what is pulling vs pushing

No but higher displacement engines will. Seeing as less people can get loans for them now. Plus younger interest in cars is about being nice looking, small, big engined, and/or spacious.
All cars will be some type of AWD, isn't it obvious? The disadvantages of AWD will virtually disappear in electric cars, most people will want it (might become mandatory safety at one point), and you can easily program it to act like a RWD or FWD car.
There is literally no reason to not make every car AWD, and this is coming from a diehard RWD fan who has little interest in anything other than FR layout cars.

The cheaper versions with lower power might not get AWD, so I think it will be as Tesla does it now:
Low power: RWD
High Power AWD

On low powered vehicles yes, on high powered no sinc you don´t need a cooling system for smaller motors
>weight
only on low powered vehicles, but not that much since you won´t need a cardan or a third diff
>>16076702
not when you put the motors in the wheels
