To anyone who said Tesla will not have more than 100 kWh pack and greater than 400 mile range: Suck it!
We all knew this would happen. It's basic common sense. Of course people want more range. It's called peace of mind. I'll take 1,000 mile range if the cost/benefit ratio makes sense. If Tesla could deliver 1,000 miles via a super capacitor and can put three of those under the hood, I'll take 3,000 mile range. It's all about technological progress, and cost, at the end of the day. Today's iPhone was impossible 10 years ago. But now look.
Tesla will continue to cram as much range as it can into its cars because consumers demand it. Not only that, but the competition will look to compete with Tesla on those kinds of specs. As more EVs enter the market, we can absolutely expect a range war between manufacturers for title of the longest range EV in production.
Personally I can't wait!
I, for one, definitely want more range until my personal bio limitation kicks in when driving. right now, I can drive at least 5 hours straight without any stopping. Given highway speed of 75mph, I probably need real world range of at least 400 miles, with some adverse conditions like HVAC or headwind, add another 20% on top of it.
