I was also told by someone that worked there that the whole problem with them was a software issue in the motor controller. The manufacturer of that controller would not work with them on a fix and management didn't want to replace them.
I tried to buy a few of them for virus components but they wouldn't sell them to me saying they had to all be crushed.

  They probably have VINs. Things get really weird and official once VINd

All of this without a Maques Brownlee review, wonder if it's to do with building an unrepairable EV...

  The Aging Wheels review is probably better anyway.
