The death of Tesla? New Mercedes AA-class EV sedan never needs charging

Ok, so that would be 38 batteries in series per bank to get the standard 400v, meaning that there would be parallel banks of 254 batteries. With a general capacity of about 3Ah per cell, we get to a battery pack capacity of a little over 21kWH. If we assume standard EV sedan efficiency that's good for about 80 miles. At Amazon prices, a full "recharge" costs $3315, for a cost per mile of over $41. Luxury costs money.

I may or may not have been up way too early this morning and on a harrowing call with Microsoft support before 6am, currently on my sixth espresso. I have two AAs inserted in my body to keep me going.

Dumb, de, dumb, dumb!

We've come a long way since that 2016 SNL skit. I'm wondering if that should have been on the anti-EV thread.
