My apologies, I guess I should have said 1200 lbs of laptop batteries? It is quite a lot heavier than an actual Lotus.

Ugh, Kinja did it again...wth

The mythical “base” (under $50K) model exists, it just has a bowtie on the grill. Preorder base Model 3s are unlikely to be fulfilled until the 22nd century.

So...something that consumers have been waiting multiple years for and haven’t received and won’t get before 2020? (even before the AWD option that will delay them more)

IDK, because kinja + my phone? And also no I would not. Further, cells do not equal batteries, each laptop battery has multiple cells in it. My current laptop sports 9 but they vary from 6-12.

So I’m wrong for using the base (vaporware) model for comparison?

When Tesla made “their” roadster they took an existing car and threw 306 laptop batteries and 2 electric motors at it... I’d much rather have the Lotus.

So youre doubling down on your expensive option package = every car?

Why the heck are they even doing that? I see no logical reason for it. Let the engineers at an auto manufacturer deal with the reprecussions of creating our post-apocolyptic future.

He/She, is that relevant? People were dozing off in Buicks and Cadillacs long before AI was a thing. Sitting in a chair and doing nothing for hours your responses aren’t going to be lightning quick even if you arent looking down at your phone or whatever.

It actually doesn’t have 310, that’s an option package that costs extra. Saying all Model 3s go 310 is like saying all vintage Chrysler’s had 426 Hemi engines.

You have clearly forgotten that smartphones weren’t really a thing yet and the competing technology was THIS

I don’t really have contempt for Apple, I said Steve Jobs. He was a glorified marketing guy. Wozniak had mad skills, that’s how Apple became a thing.

So... introduce yet more impediments to a 6 speed Tremic conversion?

Wow, plz.to explain the details of virtually any of that. The Zune was a brown mp3/raw music player approximately the size of the smallest hard drive. There were many flash drive based mp3 players predating the iPod. There were also larger hard drive based players at the time from IIRC Creative, etc. I thought I…
