I just cannot understand why someone with very little to zero knowledge about the mechanic of cars, has to keep giving out wrong information.

Drive belt of an engine is for powering very small components, like alternator, water pump, AC ... You cannot apply power at the belt, and hope to drive the crank.

As to number of clutch in the transmission/eDrive area, there is only 1 clutch. There is no "clutches on both ends", only one end.

The blanket statement was OK, it is supposed to be system fully transparent to user. But the technical detail are mostly wrong as usual
