Tesla could decide to lower max torque for 160 miles model. That would lower max discharge rate for those fewer cells and thus prolong their life, closer to that of 230mile model. Otherwise 230mile model should see a little better battery life.
48 hours x 110V x 15 A = 79kWhI am teetering between the 230 battery and the 300. I need to be able to do 170 miles of highway driving and be able to recharge to a full charge in 2 days on a standard 110v 15 A circuit to be able to make the return trip.
48 hours x 110V x 15 A = 79kWh
I doubt 80kWh will suffice for a complete charge of empty 300mile pack but it should suffice for such a pack after 200 miles of driving.
Electrical Code here in the US would require a maximum 12 amp draw from a 15 amp circuit resulting in 48 hours x 110V x 12 A = 63kWh or more typically 48 hours x 120V x 12 A = 69kWh
I have seen the Roadster charging screen while on a 110 MC. It shows about 117 volts and 15 amps. Aren't the standard outlet circuits actually 20 amps?
I would like to direct your attention to the following website where you can easily see how large a 160, 230, or 300 mile circle is around your home or permanent residence:
Mapping and Distance Tools
From my parents' house location, I made this map (which shows you could easily reach either Chicago or Detroit from where they live).

Drivable radius map
it's not a "as the crow flies" radius. Rather it's based on actual drivable roads.
i registered this account just to say this. i spent 3 hours looking, and figured i'd save other people the effort of finding it all over again.
enjoy
