In The Verge someone pleaded for ‘design for recycle’. Hence, low-energy dense propulsion (batteries) in beefy cars is just ridiculous. Tesla Model 3 already holds a battery pack that weighs 1054 lb (478 kg), in other words, as heavy as carrying 5–6 extra people on board. Reduce vehicle footprint (mass and size), and we don’t need as many batteries, and no subsidizing too.
