Notional:
1 : theoretical, speculative.
2 : existing in the mind only : imaginary.
3 : given to foolish or fanciful moods or ideas.
I thought the conversation was steering in the direction of lightweight sports cars, for which it seems you offered the model 3 as a reasonable alternative. I wouldn't call any of those cars sports cars or light. I do admit I got the numbers wrong. Hence the "notionally".

Well, the chart was a flow chart showing manufacturers, battery type, capacity, which is another battery thing, and so on, so I guess I figured it was more obvious than I suppose it was.
Gotcha. I honestly have never heard or have read the word notionally that I can recall. Learn something new every day.

It almost seems like an EV equipped car is roughly 400 lbs more than its ICE counterpart.

I was providing an example of the best apples to apples comparison I could come up with to refute that statement. We don’t really have a lot of cars to compare. We have a pretty old Tesla Roadster. What other electric sports car has there been that wasn’t some Rimac-Evija-style hypercar?
