1: Carry a 1,000 lb payload (4 people plus luggage)
2: At a highway speed of 75-80 mph
3: For a non-stop duration of at least 2 hours
4: With enough armor and safety features to probably keep you alive during a crash at 50-60 mph.
In that sense, a Honda Civic, a Tesla Model 3, and a 4 door pickup truck are all quite similar.
I think it’s a shame there’s no market for a 45 mph, 400 lb payload vehicle. They’d probably only need a curb weight of 1000-1200 lbs, and if electric, only a cheaper 15-20 kWh battery.
