Drag Coefficient of .35 (vs Model 3 of .23) and a whole bunch of extra weight for this crap is likely to result in very poor range.
Why are legacy auto makers wasting time on this sort of stuff?

I hope you also complain bout the compromised aero in all of these crossover EVs (Model X, and Model S) as well. Because lowering the vehicle back down to car height would also increase their efficiency. But hey, people wanna "sit up high" and nobody ever seems to bitch about how it does literally nothing for you except make an inefficient car with a higher center of gravity.
The concept as introduced is the equivalent of an 80k+ hellcat, not what the bulk of the model sells.

People have bitched on this very forum, within the last month, about how stupid it is that SUVs and giant luxury trucks seem to be the new family vehicle of choice.
I also need to live in a place where I can charge at home, while I'm willing to accept a 45min to 1 hour time line to get a 400 mile range, right now, that'd mean I have to go spend an hour once a week some place and charge, right now thats worth more in my time than the money I'd save. Until someone fixes charging at apartments (not fancy apartments, but the ones normal people live at) there is a limit to the market penetration of BEV's.
