A great example of presenting information that is essentially true but also rather worthless.

How about ads by GM that said we have 20 some models that get over 30 mpg when most were rebadged versions of the same model, and most would NEVER achieve 30 mpg in real world conditions?

Are you accusing an auto manufacturer of puffery?!?!?!?!? *gasp*

An electric motor does not require air to function, specifically. It is not a combustion engine.
My fault. Well, by that token, a stone in that same vacuum can approach infinity mph as well.

Full torque at zero speed is very natural for an electric motor which means there is no need for multi-ratio gear box. This is not a Tesla, they don't mean it is a performance car but responsive compared to a car with a very small engine.
