Looks like the range and 0-60 times on the website haven't been updated. Anyone know if the 0-60 increased on the 90D vs 85D? Still shows 4.2s and 270 miles.
There is not supposed to be any performance change with 85 vs. 90. Elon was careful to clarify it is a range-only upgrade.
Range will be a little greater but not performance/speed 0-60. If anything, it technical will weigh a little more so be worse, whether they state it or not.
The weight should be about the same. Elon stated that the increased capacity is a result of a change in the battery chemistry; they added some silicon to the anode. Unless you're talking about a minor change on the atomic level, there won't be much difference in weight. The battery is only 24-25% of the mass of the Model S, and a tiny change in that shouldn't be enough to affect the 0-60 acceleration time.
Yea, but he also said that the range and ludicrous upgrades are "almost" entirely independent. If both packs are limited to 1500 amps by the new e-fuse, it's possible the new pack could put out more wattage if the voltage curve has shifted to the right under the same loads. Just speculation, but he did say "almost".
