Nice arguments and loved to read both point of views.

I'll put my take on the laptop batteries, as I used them in my rc's. The 18650 cells that I use put out a burst of 45A and go flat in 2-3 seconds. I can only get up to 5A continuous out of them in 1p configs. Tesla is just gay for using them in a car.
