I wouldn't be excited when their cars comes with a spy package that sells every information when your are in it.

It won't take years for they to think that they can pry in private conversations in the car for whatever purpose they want

I was excited about this idea until I found out it's $27k

		I get this is a pretty nice product that they won't sell in huge volume, but that is really steep, was expecting something <20k

But they keep the 4-speed transmission? For what purpose?

		Probably to interface with existing cars by replacing the engine, retaining everything after, including the existing transmission, differential(s), and suspension.

		Reduction ratios, greater comparability due to interfacing links, attachment points, just a few guesses. Most ev conversions I've seen keep the gearbox.

For anyone looking to do an electric conversion. Chevy have a "crate motor" package based on one of their electric motors.
