Not surprised either. 90D option is never a good deal anyway. (Little range bump with much higher price) Just curious what will they do on the price. There will be a huge gap between 75 and 100.
Checked and you're right. I never notice this because I don't care about performance much lol
Small range bump because 90D was 86kw and performance came from being 16 modules so voltage was higher then 75D which is 14 modules and a true 75kw.
"Tesla’s advertised 85 KWh battery pack actually only has a capacity of up to 81 kWh and ~77 kWh usable range after accounting for 4 kWh of “anti-brick” buffer."
75kwh actual capacity, 72.6 usable. That was the best deal before the 100D, which is 102.4 kWh actual, 98.4 kWh usable.
How did Tesla answer this? I'm sure if there wasn't a good answer, someone would have brought up a false advertisement claim.
That has been endlessly discussed in multiple threads in the past. One point of view is that the "85" badge is a car model name, not an exact statement of kWh capacity (none of the numbers Tesla has used have exactly indicated the battery kWh capacity). Others disagree. But it no longer matters. Tesla uses numbers that are rounded to differentiate battery packs.
Hmm... Tesla has (and still is) specifying KWh on their order screen. When you say "none of the numbers Tesla ever used have exactly indicated the battery kWh capacity", what do you call those numbers Tesla used that I circled in red below? Round off errors (if so, how exactly do you round 77 or 81 to be 85)? Or, is that the battery metal enclosure is capable of storing an 85KWh battery, it's just what Tesla put inside is not, but the enclosure of course is capable, so they didn't lie (like with 691hp, motors can do it, just not with the battery that shipped with those motors which limited the power to sub 500hp). I wish Tesla would accept similar checks for payment - please give me this P100D for this $160K check - yes, this check is capable of $160K, just the account balance limits it to less.
