The Secrets of Electric Cars and Their Motors: It's Not All About the Battery, Folks
The arguments at the end seems specious(read: BS) to me.
Could it be that Tesla has found a solution to their overheating problem under high loads, where the rotor has no thermal conductance to the outside world? Could a permanent magnet rotor do the trick?
What do you make of this?
