That was a great video from BestInTESLA, great channel.
This goes to the topic of where Tesla may choose to deploy their battery
capacity which is no longer their "limiting factor"...
In addition to the CyberTruck, or an inexpensive car, there is the Semi,
and their accompanying Mega Pack
FYI, I just watch all videos at 2x, use ad blockers and sponsor skippers,
and find it a great way to get the info w/o spending a lot of time, but
there's another instant way to turn the video into text you can read:

A heavier car will require a larger battery for an equivalent range, but
I think that is over played.
If you are concerned about city range, with lots of starts and stops,
your battery range will be chewed up badly by a heavier car. But the
real need for long range is freeway driving. And,
Sure, I mostly agree, but EV's do change that more than ICE, because with a car
and a given range and given wind resistance, the larger car will take
significantly more batteries to achieve the same range, and since batteries are
a major expense and more a commoditiy, it does cost significantly
