I mean it’s 4.1 kwh/mi, which is very good on a battery that heavy. It’s not massive leap, but that gives me hope that real world mass production.

The battery/car weight has way less impact on range than you'd think when just cruising on highway/main road where you have minimal/no accelerations from stopped. I barely see a difference in range between my car with just me in it and fully loaded with 4 people and luggage for 3 weeks of camping.
