now, wait, it said a black box was the power source for an electric motor put into it.  so the motor was replaced, not the regular motor.  therefore, existing gearing goes out the window.

Howdy Terry,

The link refers to Tesla's 1931 Pierce -Arrow touring car supposedly
"rigged" up to run on a "black box" sitting on the front seat and caapable
of 90 MPH speed.
Take it froma  guy that drove his first car in 1936. Nobody drove an auto 90
MPH in those days except race drivers with specially equipped motors and
gearing.
Reference was made the motor was capable of 1800 RPM. That dead giveaway
proved the whole episode was a figment of someones imagination. 1800RPM with
transmission and  gearing in a 1931 Pierce-Arrow would give you speeds of
approx 45-50 MPH maximum. .. The Tesla cult is alive and well... All
Baloney.
