The Model 3 weighs hundreds of lb more than its equivalent in an ICE car, not 3x as much. These numbers are still improving as well.

- basch 7y agoI dont think the comparison is to ICE but to a car on a rail/line that doesnt need to carry its energy at all (or only a small battery for the last 30 miles.)
- toomuchtodo 7y agoThat is an unreasonable comparison to make, considering EVs are competing with ICE vehicles, not trains or busses.
- basch 7y agoBut this is a tangent about rails and wires vs EV, not ICE.
- maxerickson 7y agoIt's a tangent about how to power personal vehicles, which are overwhelmingly powered by the gasoline. Is that just path dependence, or maybe there are advantages to having lots of built in range?
