Feature Request: Suitcase Nuke

Hear me out… what if we could give up half of our gear tunnel space for a small nuclear reactor that would keep the battery full all of the time and provide us with unlimited range?

I would definitely pay a pretty penny for that upgrade!

1.21 gigawatts?! That's 3 million miles at my current efficiency!

Yeah that's going to work really good in a car accident. Whiplash with a side of irradiation

No problem, just get me some bubble wrap and the stuff they build airplane black boxes out of

This is soooooo 1950s thinking.

The Ford Nucleon is a concept car developed by Ford in 1957, designed as a future nuclear-powered car—one of a handful of such designs during the 1950s and 1960s. The concept was only demonstrated as a scale model. The design did not include an internal-combustion engine; rather, the vehicle was to be powered by a small nuclear reactor in the rear of the vehicle, based on the assumption that this would one day be possible by reducing sizes. The car was to use a steam engine powered by uranium fission, similar to those found in nuclear submarines.

The mock-up of the car can be viewed at the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan.
