I’ve seen a few cars now (not locally) that have a fan on the back of the pod. I’m sure the air movement will help forsure ... so there any negative effects besides little more rear weight. Or a better idea to help cool it down a little without breaking the bank.. I’ve heard there is a motor out there that runs a lot cooler but doesn’t really have a can to it so it dissipates heat a lot better. Any suggestions
