[QUOTE="wilberforce15, post: 5388639, member: 5053"] It always made sense to integrate the weight of the batteries into the structure of the vehicle. The structural battery pack is going to be a norm. [URL="https://electrek.co/2022/08/30/tesla-spotted-stacking-structural-battery-packs-gigafactory-texas/"]Tesla spotted stacking structural battery packs at Gigafactory Texas; what's happening?[/URL] I can't see the advantage of putting any weight above the chassis. The low center of gravity provides phenomenal advantages in handling. It's easier to manufacture a long flat piece for the undercarriage. And for every inch you raise the weight in the air, you need more weight under it to hold it up. Integrating batteries and the structure makes perfect sense. But I'm not sure why it would ever move off the chassis. [/QUOTE]
