I don't really agree. If another company rolled a 200kwh car out of the back of a truck, did a few passes of the stage, gave passengers rides (high speed launches) for a while, and then reported ~60% battery remaining, I think most would believe them.
We would also wonder about making it to production, but Tesla actually has a halfway decent track record at that.

- _ph_ 9y agoIt might not have exactly 200kWh of battery installed, but one reason for planning such a large battery is to be able to support the neccessary current levels for the accelleration they have demonstrated. So they couldn't have just put a small battery in the car either.
- jsight 9y agoAt the show, they were saying that it did. Do you have some evidence to the contrary?
