Why not just replace the whole battery thing with 20,000 AAAs? 🤣
That's more or less a Telsa battery pack.

Tesla mostly use 18650 cells (18mm diameter x 65mm long), but the bigger batteries use 2170 (21mm diameter x 70mm long) where AAA cells are 10.5mm diameter x 44.5mm long ;) :D

:lol: Just pouring cold water on the assumption so many anti EV people like to throw out, that EV batteries are made up out of a heap of rechargeable AA batteries ..... and that is what Jon D was trying to put across.

I just pointed out that your joke was done by Saturday Night Live a long time ago, but it still gets a laugh .... especially the punch line .....
