[I asked google for those prices, so my estimates above are only as good as what Gemini gave me]

If you called me woke, I would say, sure, if by woke you mean that I believe racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia and other bigotries exist both within individuals and as attributes of the systems that people build and we ought to strive to fix that.

I also believe that intelligence is multidimensional such that representing it as a single number is nonsense, and it is not transitive either.

But I do not believe all people are the same. Who does?

1. The car's surface is small relative to charging needs. Both have fundamental limits (insolation and aerodynamics) that aren't likely to change much.

2. The car's top is not generally flat or even a simple curved surface, so you'll probably be compromising the aerodynamics.

3. If the car is parked in a garage, or under a tree, it will not make power. If you're buying the panels, put them where they'll see the sun as much as possible (rooftop, shade awning for parking, etc.) would be better.

4. The solar panel will get junked when the car gets junked rather than lasting longer as it would in a stationary environment.

5. If the car's battery is full, the panel output can't be used, but see point 1, this will only happen if the car is parked in the sun w/o driving for a number of days, even if it was parked at 80%.

- hear di-dah (sound), think dot-dash (printed symbols), in the table that's an A

- hear di-dah, think "A"

- hear dah, di-di-di-dit, dit, hear the word "the"

- add more and more words

Along with that progression, the mental buffer got bigger, as it has to in order for you to recognize whole words. If I was having a conversation near my speed limit, a good way to break me was to send a long unusual word

What on earth are you talking about?

You would get to delete about half the mass of the half-shaft but otherwise you are cramming a lot of stuff into the wheel volume and it all has to survive living out there. Now your HV wiring and any cooling connections to the motor have to flex with the movements of the suspension and probably need guarding against rocks and other road debris. I think all EVs now have the drive electronics tightly coupled to the motors - now that either has to be separated or made compact enough to fit and rugged enough to survive a much higher vibration regime. We do have small amounts of electronics on hub assemblies today (I'm thinking of electronic parking brakes) so there is some precedent but that circuitry is much less challenging than an inverter handling 100s of kW.

>no loss on diff

I doubt there's much loss from differentials in EVs. They don't have the bevel gear of diffs used in longitudinal layout ICE vehicles and mostly the gears in a diff don't move relative to one another (unless you are doing donuts!), so the whole cage mostly acts like a solid gear giving whatever final ratio.
