SR+ is 3800lb (300lb above number 1), and can only get 250+ miles, with 60kWh.

That battery can be charged with v3 supercharger in 30 minutes, but surely Tesla does not offer 15 yrs/150000 miles 90% capacity warranty.

500+ miles of range likely adds another 500lb on SR+, maybe around 4300lb?

And thermal runaway vs. gasoline fire has one huge difference, namely, gasoline fire can be put out, but thermal runaway can't. That is a very critical safety issue that is ignored by most.

And when I bought my 2021 330i, the SR+ was $2k($42.5k total) more expensive than 330i(and Tesla had no car to deliver).
  1. weighs 3500lb(CF likely needed)
  2. goes 500+ miles in one charge
  3. takes 30 minutes(or less) to charge
  4. has 15 years/150k miles battery warranty for 90% capacity
  5. goes 0-60 in 5 seconds
  6. is around the size of G20
  7. has 16-18 gallons of trunk space(plus fold down seats)
  8. has ample battery reinforcement and no thermal runaway
  9. sells for $35k or less
Regarding range....
