	HN Discussion: ↑Excitement about YASA acquisition and successful commercialization of axial flux technology by Mercedes ↓Article failed to explain what an axial flux motor actually is or why it matters ~Axial flux is promising but radial motors will dominate for years until reliability is proven ↑The real achievement is mass manufacturing capability, not just the motor design itself •UK needs better support to capitalize on homegrown tech breakthroughs like YASA
