It is just a matter of time IMO that they switch all cars to the 2170, the Gigafactory is still a ways off of the original target of 35 gwh of annual production (estimated at 20 gwh in october) and latest full production round the clock estimate of a fully built out gigafactory 1 is 105 gwh annually, Panasonic just reported a third quarter loss of 75 mil and blamed it directly on the investment in building more battery lines at the gigafactory so how much longer will it be until battery capacity is there? seems like in the next 12 to 18 months we will see a rapid increase in production 3 or 4 fold from today maybe?
Who would not pay 10k or 15k more for a 120 over a 100 battery For S or X? while cost to Tesla (after a redesign) would be a fraction of that, some people won't but I would bet that the take rate for these high end models would be over 50% and that would increase profits drastically.
