Maybe we should use less energy in any given second. How hot does a Tesla battery get if you drive sane? Wouldn't bother me if e-cars had a restriction on the draw. I mean I spent years in a VW at 60 HP. And then some more in a 914 at 105 or so. That's fast enough to have fun and commute too.

Cars don't need 500 HP. Hell, pickups don't need 500. My 4.8 V8 is all I'd need unless I was towing a lot. If I was towing a lot I shouldn't be driving a 1/2 ton. 80% of the pickups on the road should weigh under 3000 lbs. and have 200 HP.

Batteries will catch up when people stop being stupid and buy what they need and not what they think they want. Or worse yet, being sold what they don't need.

I saw a Musk/Rogan video where Musk was shown an aftermarket version of the Model 3; the Singer of M3's. He liked it a lot. I liked it. But that's not visionary.

Where's fooking Henry Ford when you need him?
