Maybe a clear case of to much computer gaming, total loss of reality.
No its develop right here and utilizes thousand year old battery technology and permanent magnet motor, most likely.
Early models used synchronous motor (AC) developed by Nikola Tesla a long time ago (1888) but for cost and efficiency reasons Model 3 uses the much older permanent magnet motor (DC) technology.

The Nikola Tesla's AC Induction Motor is one of the 10 greatest discoveries of all time but has eddie current issues.

Real technological advances would utilize something like W18 solenoid motor or Double star solenoid motor
Spaced out gimmick toys are not long term economic viable, a solenoid liquid pump driven car would be one solution to improve efficiency.

AC Tesla Induction Motor from 1892

Model 3 DC motor

-vs- "spaced out" 32 solenoid motor

You are more than welcome to prove it by developing a product and take it to market. There is probably a gotcha lost somewhere in your idea, that hasn't gotten the attention of Tesla. If that engine is so great, why not use it? How about all the other car companies, which one is using the 32 solenoid motor?

I like competing ideas, its still inline with Elon's push to electrify the world's transportation.

While we are at it, which of them is used in the "Cybertruck"? AC or DC? Unfortunately power always comes from DC, the not so old Li-ion (and derivatives) batteries.

The discussion is about spaced out motor/car. There is absolutely noting spaced out about DC/AC motor or flat paneling that was/is reserved to backyard homemade fabrications.
A solenoid and DC motor is fundamentally the same operation except one moves circles the other linear. Circular can never be as efficient as linear.

If someone wants there is all sorts of spaced out options available in modern engineering a common computer fan or other cheap appliance motor is not one of them. The desire must be there

Any cheap mobile phone/laptop.... has Li-ion batteries. Jamming a lot of them together and create a drive-able coffin (death trap) is not everyone dream.

Why did Tesla have AC motors pre model 3? I dont know ask Elon, Three possibility's.
1. if you start of with retarded* version its easy to make "improvements" in later models.
*Taking a DC power source (battery) and use a inverter to power a 3 phase synchronous alternating current motor (AC) is not efficient, inverters are notoriously inefficient.
2. to name the car a Tesla, without a AC motor why is it named a Tesla, because of the Radio, wireless....which also come from Nikola Tesla
3. combination of 1 and 2

Fail and fail again,
