I did some quick searching and a model x weighs around 1k lbs. more than the boat that's the 1978 Cadillac Coupe Deville.

This isn't a dig at Tesla at all. I was just curious how much more a quality, modern electric car weighs in comparison to older cars. It out-weighs them by a wide margin. In light of yesterday's tragic building collapse, I think cities needs to take this info into account when it come to regulations about parking garages and such.

- Damn! I wasn't thinking big enough. I went to the '70s boats instead of the modern pickup and SUV. -- nm - Krusty Apr 19, 15:36
engineering safety factors are usually "How much do we need? Multiply that by 3", so while I take your point it's probably not an issue. -- nm - Reagen Apr 19, 15:09 1
- That's true and often even more than 3x. -- nm - Krusty Apr 19, 15:17
