Just imagine what the range would be if it didn't weigh 5100 lbs.

Yeah they need to use smaller batteries so it won't weigh as much so the range will be way higher

Wow. Granted ,that's for the top trim versions, but I can't imagine the base version will end up being much less than 100k. I wasn't expecting 5100 pounds either. jeez.

First the i-pace, and now this make Tesla (both the 3 and the S) look pretty good as far as value for money. If they (really Elon) could just get their heads out of their b*tts, they'd have something really compelling.
