    One of the cool things about an electric motor is all the torque is available immediately, at zero rpm

    Have you seen the YT videos of the Tesla smoking built mustangs at the dragstrip?

    Since I can't leave trains behind...

    Can you imagine the size of clutch you'd need to start a train from a dead stop? And then to coordinate it with 3 or more locomotives? oof.

    Electric motors are so cool.
