The weight cap isn’t ever going away, sure it may go up but you still back yourself into the same problem. For the same amount of energy, batteries will always be bigger and heavier than diesel.

The engineers working on those finer details you’ve easily dismissed are well aware of this problem hence the Fuel Cell…

You do realize that the federal weight limit of a tractor + trailer is capped at 80k lbs?

One of the design goals in tractor and trailer design is to make them as light as possible so that you increase the amount of weight you carry as freight. The minute you start adding in batteries on both tractor and trailer, you…

Yes and you reduce the amount of freight you can carry because you’ve traded freight for more batteries.

So big fancy wings do bring all the ladies to the yard?

I’ve never seen a logistics truck be at the loading dock for more than 20 minutes.

No it isn’t. You’re always going to need a range extender / on board generator to make those 1000+ mile trips.

...and it would really kill how much freight you can carry.

This comment should go in the COTD hall of fame or at the very least this should be comment of the year.

Classic Teslaopnik. The only place where Formula E is praised as the greatest racing series of all time.

I mean at least he referred to the car as ‘it’ rather than some other wokeAF™ pronoun.

All luxury vehicles depreciate like brick sinking in water save for Lexus. None of the European automakers are immune to it, the notion that Audi/BMW/MBZ don’t depreciate as fast is one of the oldest automotive enthusiast tropes.   

Yeah but I can get it in a diesel which makes all the other detractors moot. Until the Tacoma gets a diesel, it’s useless to me.

<3 the Model S/X take.

I also love how you conveniently left off the Carrera GT take. You’re not fooling anyone Kristen.

Throw some German in there and you will have a clusterfuck of unreliability.

Start making money? They’ve been making money for a while now...

But I’ll play anyways...

I would kill Chrysler and Dodge brands immediately. Re-launch Plymouth as an enthusiast brand and slot the future Challenger/Charger platform there. I would also consider relaunching the Viper as an affordable Corvette competitor.

Je…

lol what? GS500s and VFRs have a very upright seating position. The CBR250R isn’t even that bad either.

Exactly. Everyone that has responded to my OP has probably never ridden a motorcycle and thus have no idea what they’re talking about.
