What are we doing now, about 1 mile per 5 pounds of battery? I don't see it. He has been very good at making promises but not on delivering. With this track record I figure 2020 at the earliest and it likely won't be Tesla. GM will beat him to market with a car of 200 mile range in the 30-40k range. Reducing weight is a very difficult issue here, all manufacturers try to reduce the weight of their cars and lugging a thousand pounds of batteries doesn't help. Frankly I think all electrics are not ready for prime time, improved REX solutions are better. Traditional engines perform badly accelerating from a stop but can be very efficient one speed improves. So some combination similar to the Volt but with more base EV is probably going to be a sweet spot. (figure 100 EV/300REX). Plus this doesn't even touch the elephant in the room, long distance trucking where weight is always an issue and range. Neither of which favor batteries. I would much prefer Elon solve a more constant problem that would start the next generation off on the right track, Tesla needs to lead the industry in electrifying school buses.
