What a useless comment.
Why are you on Hacker News when you clearly are not a Hacker and don't have the IQ to understand such a simple, interesting point OP is making.
Is it jealousy because OP travels and they want to hack it out even further than the normal model gives them? Why put them down otherwise?
What EV cars do is exactly what is happening here, they are highly aerodynamic and weight reduced, at the cost of practical things. They have to, to get distance.
