That’s fair. The Tesla is too heavy as well.

"Too heavy" in some sense, but the engineering trade off is a pretty good one!

Your average Tesla is about:

- 1.9x as heavy as the Miata

- 4.3x as energy efficient as the Miata

- 1.7x faster acceleration vs Miata

- 0.2x the emissions of the Miata on a typical power mix (0x on solar)
