In a new white paper, the group notes that boosting efficiency allows for smaller battery sizes, which in turn cuts costs. Most EVs average 2.5 miles per kwh, according to the paper, but the Tesla Model Y averages 3.5 miles per kwh. That’s a 40% increase which, assuming similar range, allows for a 40% reduction in battery size that’s worth up to $4,800 in cost savings, the ACEEE reasons.
I wish we could have Tesla without the Elon. My girlfriend and I would be allll over the model y if not for Elon.
It would be amazing to have Tesla sold to someone else and Elon gone.
The camera only system is not very effective though. Maybe if it was without Elon and was upgraded to use LiDAR
