That’s the point. Honda Pilot is an 8 passenger SUV. A much less capable car, the model S weighs as much as the Pilot. So if Tesla were to make an 8 passenger hauler, that car would weigh, what, double the size of the Pilot?
- r00fus 9y agoDo people buy Model S vehicles to haul stuff. More to the point, how many Pilots are on the road fully loaded? My guess? Most people buy both cars to haul 1 person a very few miles almost every day. Again, presenting data to make a point that lacks context only detracts from your argument.
- IgorPartola 9y agoWtf are you talking about? I am presenting no data. I am presenting facts: they are different class vehicles, and yet weigh the same. There is no analysis of data necessary to reach that conclusion. Put another way: the Model S is heavier than most vehicles in its own class. What is so difficult to understand about that? What you are presenting is opinion (that most Pilot owners only drive a few miles alone) unburdened by any backing facts or data. It may be true, I don’t know. But you provide nothing to back up your claim, yet present it as fact.
- Retric 9y agoIncreasing vehicle volume does not do as much to increase weight as you might think. A Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport is a 4,400 lb lbs 2 seater. In comparison to the original 4,323 lb 5 seater Tesla.
- r00fus 9y agoA more apt comparison, I agree - both luxury sports cars.
- rgbrenner 9y agothe model x is 7 seats, and weighs 5400lbs vs 4200lbs for the honda pilot.
- IgorPartola 9y agoI happen to have owned a Pilot in my life. One of the nice things about it was that I could not only haul people, but also cargo. Full sized dry wall and plywood to be exact.
