Yeah, but a regular Hummer has a 32 gal gas tank, so 8.34 lbs per gallon x 32 gallons = 267 lbs, so what's the difference between that and a few extra thousand pounds in vape batteries?

weight isn't really an issue for EVs as much as rolling and wind resistance

heavier vehicles can have a more robust regenerative braking system, which makes an especially large difference in city driving

ofc hummers are absurd nonsense vehicles with no reason to exist but electric ones really aren't really any dumber, the gas ones were already close to 7,000lb

*hurk*

Does anyone have a list or link summarizing how Musk hosed with Tesla designs after he booted Eberhard and Tarpenning (actual original founders)? My understanding is that they weren't trying to reinvent every car component from the ground up and were focusing on making an EV look appealing.

I try and google this and I get reams of articles from 2010 felating Musk.

It's almost like an auto manufacturer that's been building cars for over 100 years is able to build a better car than someone moving fast and breaking things (and people.)

I remember a short video (Twitter probably) of an owner of one of the first Model 3s who lived in Chicago, demonstrating a profoundly idiotic design flaw.

This is the trunk of a Honda Accord. See how there's the little painted area below the rear window?
That's a little rain gutter to which the trunk seal is affixed. As water runs over the vehicle, it runs down into the channel, along the sides of the trunk opening, and down channels to either side of the trunk and out below its opening. It's usually an inch across and maybe 1.5-2" deep, so as a gutter, it's actually fairly simple but effective.


Musky's car had none of this. The person in Chicago had their car parked outside in slushy snowy precipitation, opened their trunk, and the whole roof full of slush sloughed straight into the open trunk.

I wonder how long legacy car engineers have known to put a loving rain gutter in their trunk openings

Me this morning: "It's the week between Christmas and New Years. Nobody is doing anything, even margin calls. The stock will just continue to go down three or four percent a day until everyone gets back from vacation and then poo poo will go bananas."
