900 lbs of cells WHAT?

Tesla's have a 1200 lb battery. That's a fact.

roperld.com

Battery weight:

1200 lb/544 kg (85 kWh)
............
More:

Charging time:

120 V:48 hrs (15 A); 240 V: 4 hrs (90 A); 480 V/3 phase (80 A)


Battery swap:

5 minutes

Say you can really extend your range by keeping it between 20 and 25 mph.



I recall that EV's have always been sold as stately and aristocratic vehicles:


No fear a lady will lose her hat or mess her hair up in the wind. Silent operation so one can have a civilized conversation en route.
