Any possibility of different sized batteries as an option or even swappable batteries of different size? That would be one way to address the distance versus speed versus handling calculation.
Maybe. People have been speculating that a reason for the 200 kWh battery is to get the huge power needed for the 1.9s 0-60 time. So if Tesla decides to release a lower power version, maybe one that can “only” do 2.5s, then you’ll get less range, lighter battery and better handling. As people have been speculating, though, maybe the better handling you would get is marginal.
Given that this is a low volume halo car, I’m not sure it makes any sense at all to release different battery packs.
