Its a 2000 pound Lotus with 1000 pounds of extra batteries. It will fall apart
at the first pot hole :) You can't just add a half a ton (150% increase)
dead weight to  a chassis and expect it to live.

Hi Paul,
I agree with your chassis engineering comments.
I leafed thru the FAQs about Tesla batteries, nowhere could I see the
estimated cost of a replacement battery pack. In a $100k electric car,
the battery pack at half AUW would be a pricey unit.  Already, I smell
burning money.
FWIW, Dave McC
