Please support this assertion.
While "need" is subjective. there is a significant (likely majority) of folks who drive more than 100 miles on regular occasions (or drive in the cold where that evvective range is 60 miles). They "need" to not have to stop every hour to charge.
Goalpost moving. Please address the issues pointed out in your original assertions before moving on.
The Taycan is ~90kWh. I thought you were advocating small packs as larger aren't needed as a result of fast charging?
Nobody is suggesting that a car that's less efficient or that lacks serious fast charging is at a disadvantage.
You are asserting that fast charging obviates the need for decent sized packs. That's not true if you don't want to stop and charge for every hour on a road trip.
You keep asserting that while ignoring the argument against it. Hint: see above.
A 50KW model S will get you 185+ miles range. That's about where the 60kWh packs used to be. They didn't sell nearly as the next step up. The fact that it turns in to a 120 mile car in the cold may be one reason why.
You're making this as hard as possible, why?
You mean that the SC network does NOT improve long distance travel and Tesla drivers NEED a large battery, even if LEAF drivers do fine on 40 kWh and would never go back to petrol?
Unionize, get politicians to place more fast chargers if they're not enough even for Teslas with huge range.
Many Tesla are in multi-car house holds. Does every car need to be a long range one?
Many BEV lovers have a problem accepting that every kWh comes from anywhere else but angels' kisses. We can debate which amount of energy and CO2 we wish to use to produce one kWh of extra cells, but surely as reasonable people we can agree that a needlessly large battery add pollution much like a needlessly large or inefficient ICE does?
Taycan shows 4C. A single motor car with half that battery, more range than a best selling 40 kWh LEAF, can be pretty affordable and charge at 720 mph. Not good enough?
Do you feel what the world needs is bigger batteries in all cars before be add more charger to be use by many cars to make the suffice on have the battery? What's the CO2 impact of a charger versus the cars it's servicing?
>You are asserting that fast charging obviates the need for decent sized packs.

Then your love for Mother Earth is less than mine.
You keep using the word asserting, but it doesn't really help for reading comprehension. You seem uncomfortable that you few times a few need to not skip a charger is worse than adding 20 kWh to the global fleet the Earth nor you, really needs.
When Tesla hit the scene, these boards were all about telling the ICEV holdouts about how you don't need a full tank and stopping once in a while is good, they are not that long, few drives per year ever use half their tank. Once Tesla makes 370 mile 200 kW cars, that goal posts shifts over, a lot.
Perhaps you are just the exception, not the rule in this community.
