That would be unpleasant Tony_F. Good thing that they are placing the battery mid-ship. Below is a picture. I imagine that it will be expensive. PonyRider, I did an approximate cost for my HQ ute. Taking into account a stronger drivetrain to handle the high and instant torque, a reasonable range car would cost around $20000. Maybe down the track but for now I am happier to put the money into my second Tesla.
