I know the i8 had a two speed transmission. Some do, some don't. So far, Tesla motor reliability has been MUCH better than expected. I still don't like them and have refused to buy one. My volvo has an entire "e-axle" in the back that gives it rear wheel drive that is separate from the front gas drivetrain. I can't tell that it has any fluid at all. Might.
