I know this thread is a bout Tesla and lithium batteries. That is a very imperfect technology for automotive use because of the weight of the batteries. Even with improvements, down the line, that will not change dramatically. But what comes after that? Whatever happened to the automotive fuel cell, fed by gasoline. Should not heavy development go in that direction. Seems to me that storing gasoline in a car is a lot simpler than storing equivalent quantities of electricic charges in a battery.
