Given how different the Wench and I are in terms of body shape and preferred driving position (plus my back issues and her hip issues), the likelihood of their being a one size fits both level seat are sadly quite slim.

So it will just be each of us forever adjusting every aspect of the seat / wing mirrors, rear view mirror / steering wheel height every time we get into the car.

Yeah that’s what I meant - keep using them as batteries but in other uses, rather than recycle for lithium etc

809

That would be enough to allow for replacement though. The motors wouldn’t be replaced, just the battery cells. It’s not trivial, as I said - the systems charge at different rates and can have very different cooling.

I imagine that it will take the likes of Tesla to come up with a great system, and that will gradually filter down to others, as they realise that licensing it makes a lot more sense than developing something inferior themselves.

I think that rather trivialises the challenges for categories of car that Tesla aren’t active in. As I understand it, the S, X and 3 all have the bulk of their cells in the floor as it keeps the CofG nice and low. That’s great if you’re designing a large sedan but I can’t see it working as well for a K-Car sized device and the manufacturers active in that category might want cells of a significantly different shape and size to work with the constraints of that.

AAA for the Kcar and D cells for the sedan, easy.

4 axles for extra load?

I think it was to have more motors, or one per wheel. But the ability to carry meat men is also a plus.

Only 3.8 seconds 0-62 though :joy: - the Turbo S is 2.6 :heart_eyes:

819

Yebbut how fast with two fat cuntz in the back crushing your suspension? :thinking:

820

Given the car already weighs about 3 ton, I doubt that it would be much affected…

What exactly is the fastest you’ve ever actually done 0-60 in? (While driving, not as pax) :wink::rofl:
