Ya for some reason Ford added huge overhangs in the late 60s. Everyone was racing to see who had the longest hoods. 1970 Pontiac Grand Prix won that race. I think it was longer than the Eldorado.

Duratech 6 is half a Aston Martin V-12.
I think tech and big Auto money will solve any short term issues, like battery charging time ,lifespan, etc... Capitalism at its best.
