Think Tesla did a pretty great job making the car extremely light to extend the range from all the batteries it wanted to put inside.

That’s what I got from this story (which is otherwise a fluff piece, which Tesla has plenty of).”

OUCH!

Perhaps the body weight is already minimized as much as possible to support the batteries needed to drive it around 200 miles and still be safe…

Just saying Tesla might an example of doing the best with the available technology.
