They should be. What is the point of supporting and paying a premium for green, if you are going to carry dead weight around in the car? Given that we are told that carrying a spare wheel around is significant, unused battery capacity must also be a problem.

I also assume tesla went to some trouble to reduce the weight of the car too. With makes unused battery capacity even more nuts.

If you are going green, you do not want un-utilised or dead weight. End of. There is literally no argument there.

So "Actual customers", who presumably know something of the subject, should be interested and question this set up.

Or is this the knee jerk we love Musk thread there no one is allowed to point out potential flaws or silliness, and if any one does say anything critical, then any old excuse will do? Must we really exaggerate with words like "disturbed"?
