Damn, I've had some boys worthy of the title of wingman in my day, capable of throwing themselves onto an AMC Pacer but you sir, take the cake!

A Tesla with 1000 kg of battery would weigh about 3000 kilograms

They already have those.

The Tesla Model S90D has a range of 302 miles. That is an up-market car, but when the Tesla Model 3 comes out, it will have a base range of more than 200 miles, and will certainly have options for increased range with a larger battery. The Model 3 is set to cost $35000 base.

As for batteries, the life of the batteries is actually quite good, if the battery packs have a cooling system. Heat kills lithium ion batteries, so if you keep them cool they last a long time (btw. don't buy a Nissan Leaf...last I heard, they don't have battery cooling). Tesla makes their own batteries, and they are aiming for the batteries to last the life of the car. I have heard of Tesla Model S cars with 250000 km on the original battery.

As for hydrogen, please not this again. Read this or this. TL/DR: From a physics point of view, hydrogen is fundamentally inefficient. It is difficult to compress, store, and transport. It is also made from fossil fuels as a bi-product, which is one reason why the idea doesn't seem to want to die, in spite of having problems that CANNOT ever be solved...the fossil fuel industry is pushing it.

this is the inverse (contrapositive? i didn't pay that much attention in logic101;-) of one of stan mott's cartoons in car&driver waaaay back when...in addition to his brilliant cyclops series (recently introduced as the tata nano https://www.carthrottle.com/po... ;-) he mocked safety regs with a cartoon of ppl driving around in federal safety tanks ramming anyone who got in their way;-}

Actually, despite the protests of both you and the parent poster, the Camaro is currently the best selling GM vehicle, and they've had to increase production to meet demand.

And with the Chevy Volt, despite any reservations I personally have about the vehicle, it's clear that they're not putting all their eggs in the retro-muscle car basket. If I had extra money to play with these days, I'd be betting long on GM stock. Yes, the government isn't likely to let them fail, but at the same time it's in their best interest to thrive, not merely survive. I think the criticisms of GM have been valid for the past decade or so, but they've already made some major changes, and going forward I expect to see them become more competitive, not less.
