100d is coming soon

Yeah the 3K price increase is small but the amount of road trip I do, I think the 90 is sufficient. Again like other have said, it is to make up for the lack of free supercharging which can be quite a bit if one does a lot of road tripping through out the life of the car.

The only benefit I can see is from wk057 analysis, the 100KWh seems to be an actual 100KWh battery with 96KWh usable. The 90KWh battery is actually a 86KWh with 81KWh usable. So one is really going up 15KWh usable for $3K price increase. At this point, i see no point in getting the 90D over the 100D if both have 400KWh free supercharging per year.
 
Why wouldn't they be able to ship them this quarter? I expect the 100D announcement to sound like: "The 90D is being replaced with the 100D. It will cost an additional $xxx [fill in a reasonable number]. Customers wishing to upgrade their existing 90D orders may do so for that price. Those not wishing to do so will get their 90D as originally ordered."

I expect the reasonable number to be about $4K.

Looks like I got it about right, with one significant issue -- they won't allow an order to be upgraded to the 100D. So if you want it, then good-bye free supercharging.
