I agree about this - granted, it has a good suspension, a great weight distribution, and an amazingly low center of gravity, but none of that gets around the fact that it weighs 4700 pounds. It makes a Veyron look like a lightweight. No matter what you do with a car, there's no getting around the fact that weight is bad for handling, and a current electric car with a decent range is going to be very, very heavy.
