4800mAh Battery?

[2hype]

I use the orbtronics 3400mAH batteries. They definitely last longer than the 2900 and 3100.

I've seen too many horror stories about Tesla cars going dead and needing to be carefully flat bed towed back to the factory when the batteries shut down, and they shut down whether the driver wants them to or not to protect them as they did for the New York Times review. It is a nice concept, beautiful automobile, expensive, but not very practical, not enough range, and I always wonder if anyone considers the energy required to manufacture the batteries, charge them and then safely dispose of them or the pollution that seems rampant where many of those batteries are manufactured. The bottom line is that the energy density of batteries is just not high enough to compete, economically or practically, with gas/diesel yet.

In regards to the New York Times review there were many discrepancies according to the official logs.

Off topic but I am pining for a Tesla so bad... Saw one (it was an S) two days ago and almost stalked it just so I could get a first hand look at the interior.

2 of my 3 friends in California that own the Tesla S own or have owned all types of luxury and exotic sports cars. Their fave, because of ride and comfort, is the Tesla S. In the next yr I'm planning on visiting them and have been promised use of the Tesla while I'm there....can hardly wait

So do you have to have an 18650 to go sub ohm or would a lower battery do?

4800mAh...!! I don't think so. It's just a label anyway, can be changed by manufacturer or seller, IMHO
If so, it may burn your mod, lol compatibility problem.
