No. The biggest issue with the model 3 is they can't do batteries fast enough, so they aren't even offering the high capacity for the first year or more. Weight, lifespan, cost, "ingredients"...these are all big big challenges that the brightest minds have been working on for decades and we only have an OK solution for small scale deployment of electric vehicles, not global replacement of the ICE.

Nice thoughtful rotary phone joke though. Big chuckles.
