Until they have the following issues, I’m sitting it out:

* Super long charge times. I want 30 minutes MAX (15 would be better)
* Temperature sensitivity. I want them to work in Phoenix and Anchorage at any time of the year.
* Low max output due to thermals. I want them to be able to crank out HIGH OUTPUT for the majority of their charge without baking themselves.
* Weight. I’d like a track car that weighs 1500 pounds MAX. As excessive weight is felt everywhere.

Until these hurdles are overcome, I’ll be over here.

I know a guy who sells tires. He explained that every car tire in its lifetime puts about 20 lbs of synthetic rubber into the air, land, and water just by normal wear/friction while driving.

An EV tire puts out about 3X that amount
