I think that is a good possibility. The hardware is all the same minus less cells. I am sure you can reload the software and with the bigger battery turn it to LR. However, with proper charge management, 20-80% charge and low power, this battery will last 500K miles easy before you see big degradation. With improper management, 0-100% with frequent Supercharging, 100K miles.Hello! Long time lurker...First time buyer!
I had a reservation from June 2017, but when I went to purchase the MR on 10/27 it created a new order but it didn't use the reservation. When I spoke with Tesla they told me it didn't matter and refunded my $1000. I'm on the East Coast as are many others here and am hoping for the best!
Just a question in the meantime...At some point (hopefully a long time in the future) the car will need a new battery. Would it be possible to swap out the MR battery for the LR battery?
