This is definitely not my field of expertise (ENERGY) so I've purposely stayed out of the convo. Oh by the way, SissyShitChaps...You Totally Suck, dude. Wishing cancer on people simply becuz da black dude is no longer in the oval office and the bitch didn't win....man, you are lower than snake shit, you sorry POS.
That said...I heard (or read...can't recall) that inventor, engineer, super-rich guy, Elon Musk, is hell-bent on developing an efficient (and inexpensive) "home battery" that would harness solar energy. Do any of y'all know if this is true (or is this simply the stuff of science fiction)? If I've got this wrong, my apologies.
But Absolutely NO apologies to that racist, hate-monger SissyChaps....pleas e go away, dude...you offer nothing positive to this site.

The energy equivalent of Tesla's 2000 pound battery is about 3-4 gallons of gas, though Tesla's efficient electric motor can turn that into about 300 miles until the battery degrades too much.
You would need 10-12 gallons of fuel, which weighs about 80-85 pounds, to propel a nice Mercedes E class about the same distance on a highway. For half the price, I'll take the Mercedes.
