<VV> Tesla

[John Beck]

I can't imagine the Tesla uses "laptop batteries"  Maybe cells with the
same chemistry as the batteries in laptops.  Dozens of those little gray
snap in packs, I doubt it.  Though I do like the image of people
carrying a big armload of battery packs into the office in the and
spending their day cycling them through their computer for a quick
charge with company electricity.
