    It would be nice if the driver could tailer it to the trip needs, but doesn't look like it's meant to be offered that way. And I don't think most people would want to bother with it. It's already a significant inconvenience to move from the TV to the garage and get in the car. :D I'm still not ready to trust Samsung batteries yet. ;) I like the thinking, though.

    did i miss something? does the entire battery get smaller with less modules? not sure that this saves money over making different size batteries. especially with so few ev's available. maybe in a few (hundred) years.
