1000km range is fucking stupid. No one should be driving that far at once, and they rest of the time you waste energy and money just carrying around thousands of pounds of batteries.
Then there is the fun of a car crash and shorting out over 120KW of energy.
How much is the average used by daily drives? What about the 90% percentile. Something like 1000km must be on the extremely tail that. The only distance I can think of 1000km is going to and back from São Paulo to Rio.

I’ve done it several times. It happens.

It would certainly be interesting if EV’s had a means to load or unload batteries for more or less capacity. If the majority of the time you’re driving local it would certainly be better having a smaller battery pack loaded and then load more when you need the range. We’re a long way from being able to do that unfortunately
Your mileage may vary.

Ya, why do those big trucks have 40 gallon gas tanks? Not like anyone ever needs to drive that far at once.
So we are now comparing daily drivers to long haul truckers?
Should we all be driving this?
A man can dream.
What are you taking about?
What a ridiculous blanket statement.
Nobody should make such silly blanket statements. :P
in non shit hole countries, driving that far without breaks is illegal.
in shit holes, over 40,000 are killed and countless more maimed for life on highways. Every year.

A 1000km range is a complete waste of resources.

When the selfdriving feature gets even better, 1000 km will be useful.
you must be excited about this guy showing up next month.
Self driving is absolutely a thing. FULL self driving like what Tesla tries to bullshit about is a way off.
I’ve done a bit over 900km in a day a few times, it’s a full day, but easily done.
