I'm in shock. Wow, how already-obsolete that seems.Matt Gruber wrote:Does a lithium pack that big have a chance at success?

Time lags for no man or automobile design team.
Imagine...
...miles and miles of solder braid bridging all the tabs (jk).
Imagine, one connector fails,
throws the load to others.
And again connectors fail:
shock to lipo brudders!
Now in cascade, the battery
(a term that came from cannon)
assaults itself--intent to kill
The TeSla, hey! It's such a thrill.

Done properly it would.
If all the cells were QC'ed before being installed.. and they have electronics to monitor it all.. they obviously did it ! lol.

"the battery pack is fitted with a lattice of tubes that route cold water past each cell"
claim 250mi and a 3 1/2 hr charge. is that possible?
250mi at what 25mph? lol

The question is how fast will it go at 263Wh/mile. From metrompg.com, someone tested a Firefly as needing 5.4hp to maintain 70km/h, or 4028W. 43.5mph x 263 = 11440W = 15.3hp. I think it's safe to say that 15.3hp should push a car with better aerodynamics much faster than 70km/h.
