- bryanlarsen 6y agoOnce we start that game, we can also add the weight of the Mirai's 1.6kWh NiMH battery and other esoterica. The proof is in the pudding: the curb weight of a Mirai is more than that of the larger and more capable Model 3.
- 8note 6y agoHow important is weight in their designs though? They're cars, so they don't have to hold themselves up, and they probably both have regenerative braking
- _ph_ 6y agoYou are right, weight isn't extremely important, especially with regenerative braking. It is only interesting in the comparison with battery electric cars - if the hydrogen car is even heavier, then there is basically no advantage left for the hydrogen car.
