Curious if they bothered to comply with the GVWR for the vehicle.

An extra 730lbs is most of the typical payload capacity for a typical car.

The model S has a GVWR of 5600lbs and weighs about 4600lbs meaning you can only put about 1000lbs of stuff in/on it safely.

With this extra battery weight there isn’t enough capacity left to carry more that two typical adults let alone any luggage.

It's almost like Tesla has to optimize for more than just raw battery performance.
