How much do these batteries weigh? Is it enough to wear down the tires significantly faster than a comparable ICE vehicle? This would be especially relevant for snow tires right??
Which batteries? Are you talking about the McMurtry? It weighs ~1000 kg (~2205 lbs) so not at all heavy compared to an average street car. F1 cars weigh a bit under 800 kg, NASCAR cars weigh more like 1500 kg. Other race cars are mostly in between.How much do these batteries weigh?

Yeah the Tesla batt packs weigh about 1200lbs. Plus the motor. But factor in a full tank, it's more but not that much more. And it's low down weight..
Not sure.. that's for the model S.Those are 100kWh, right? About 183 Wh/kg, i.e. approx the same energy density as I'm assuming for the streetable E-Transit? Except double the presumed range of the demo SuperVan
So why not just point the fans in the direction you want the car to accelerate? Or large vertical wings? Why must everything go through the tires?
Hmm... that's an incorrect assumption.(I assume everyone in this thread knows the meaning of the word 'speir' by now)
