Anyone have a good source on the weight/output of the @Tesla Model S Plaid motor? In this section we're showing why electric turbo pumps don't scale up well. Based on these (potentially inaccurate) numbers, it would take ~676 motors just to spin the pumps of an RD-170! @elonmusk

Raptor pump power is over 100MW per engine & 33 engines, means over 3GW. Not even remotely possible for electric motors & batteries to compete.
