That is was I was trying to get at. If Tesla made a simple passenger car then they wouldn't need a great battery to make it go around and that 1000lbs. would last a while before needing a charge, but they claim the Tesla Roadster to be a sports car. I've been asking people what they think about the current EV and the answers are surprising. I asked one guy that does own a Tesla and he loves it, but I guess he doesn't know there are better technology available now that would make it such a better vehicle. Now with $520+ million of our tax money, would they change? I hope so, but so far I haven't seen much.
I knew you were going to come here as your laptop powered R/C looked nice.
I think someone in a Tesla did a little race from Chicago to California (Not 100% sure), but it took them quite a bit of time to get there. That is not a very good selling point or marketing tool I would let people know about if that was my car.
