- nightski 7y agoRight but people buying F-150s are not buying Teslas. The use case is quite different. My Subaru Outback (a rather large car in comparison to the Tesla) is 3,600 lbs. But I doubt the increase in weight is a huge factor in environmental concerns.
- ghouse 7y agoBut compared to freight trucks, the F-150, the EV, and the Outback are all inconsequential.
- rcpt 7y ago> The use case is quite different. If you want to make this argument you should account for the weight of a loaded F150
- lkbm 7y ago> Right but people buying F-150s are not buying Teslas. The use case is quite different. Have you been to a Texas city? They're full of F-150s driving around a single person and an empty bed on paved roads. Sure, farmers and contractors use trucks as trucks, but thousands of people use them as commuter cars. Most pickup trucks are used as trucks once in a blue moon.

- cptskippy 7y agoA Toyota Camry weights 3600lbs, so it's not like EVs are extraordinary heavy either. Additionally, 15 gallons of gas is about 100lbs.
- cma 7y agoIsn’t Model S closer in size to Camry? A Corolla is closer to model 3 size and more like 2900lbs. The P90D with less range than that 100lbs of gas Camry is 5000lbs.
- cptskippy 7y agoInterior dimensions are all very similar. Exterior, the Model S is the largest, followed by the Camry, Model 3 then distantly the Corolla.

- cma 7y agoInterior volume of Camry is 115 cu ft (27lbs per interior cubic foot without gas, some marginal amount more with the same amount of gas as P90D's range, which only takes around 60-80lbs of gas or so). Model S P90D is 120 cu ft (41lbs per interior cubic foot).
- cptskippy 7y agoDoes that take into account cargo space?
- briandear 7y ago15 gallons of gas is 90 pounds.
