That makes you a smart cookie.Wow, 200kWh??! I can't believe they would put that in a Model S.
I fully suspect something in the ~120kWh range will be the new Model S/X battery pack size. I think this can be largely achieved once they do away with the modular pack within the pack that was a holdover from the original Roadster but never used for purposes intended. There may be another bump from a new chemistry as well & rumors are it could be substantial.It only means that Tesla is now able to represent a pack size from 0-204.8 in their software. It does not mean the next new pack will be 200. Given the previous representation was limited to 102.4, it is probably a good indicator they are preparing a pack larger than 102. It could be 110, 120, but very unlikely 200 -- the technology isn't there yet.
Exactly. The fact that my 64 bit intel CPU can address ~18 exabytes of memory doesn’t mean Dell’s releasing a laptop with 18 exabytes of RAM “soon”.It only means that Tesla is now able to represent a pack size from 0-204.8 in their software.

It was 600 miles on the Roadster they showed, but it needed 200kwh so it could do 0-60 under 2 seconds. I don't know if it will be 200 kwh but Cybertruck's 500 miles of range will need that bit to address its battery.Otherwise whats the point? How often do you need 800 miles of range non stop?

200 kwh battery pack??? I sure hope the weight is less or the same weight as the current 100 kwh battery pack. Otherwise whats the point? How often do you need 800 miles of range non stop?
would make up for poor range in the cold weather,
I would most definitely take 800 miles of range non stop. No brainer, as I travel a lot and definitely need more range than there is now. Really dislike stopping and would make up for poor range in the cold weather, etc...
Gosh it would probably be more environmentally friendly to drive an efficient hybrid ICE vehicle than to produce and tote around 205 kW of battery for a single vehicle.

Fuel efficiency != “environmentally friendly”You would think, but the EPA gas gallon equivalent numbers, 100+, much better than hybrids. EV's even with a large pack, eliminate the engine and accessories which weigh quite a bit.
