Range range go away.
I need 500km in -10c (with 7 days standing still in the forest mid trip) to get to my hunting cabin and back to the nearest supercharger, I guess with current winter reduction and standby losses id need about 1000km range or 150kwh battery to make it without worrying. So ill vote for that
Greater range takes the sting out of slow recharge times. And makes it a viable long-vacation-with-the-kids car.
In every product category Convenience sells, and if Tesla wants to expand from Early Adopters to the general ICE-owning public glacial recharge is the handicap holding them back.

and I hope to get greater regeneration....
agreed that is better....but with the ability to shut it off.
500+ is my guess. Low volume production start of the new battery. Also they need cheaper replacement packs for older cars and a 500 mile pack means they might be able to make a half pack for original cars for much cheaper than the old 7000 cell design.
Due to low production volume, Tesla's primary goal for the "refresh" is likely manufacturing efficiency with a second goal on improving the S & X models, especially if they can produce S and X from the same production line and create more capacity for producing the higher volume 3/Y models at Fremont.
So if we do see further range improvements in S/X, it's likely because Tesla can not only increase the range, but also reducing the manufacturing costs - perhaps shifting to sharing technology with 3/Y.
Will be interesting to see what Tesla announces when they finally unveil the changes that are now in production.
In the past, when Tesla announced model changes, they usually make the announcement when those changes go into production.
Since that hasn't happened this time - they are building new S/X and haven't announced what's changed (or evidently have delivered any new vehicles), the changes probably are more significant - perhaps even enough to require the vehicles to get recertified...

My understanding is that's true, but there are TWO discrete lines. They take up an inordinate amount of space compared to their volume.

So well hopefully have a winner in this contest by tomorrow
Do you guys really expect 4680 cells in this month's redesign?

Prepare to be disappointed then.. I don’t think 4680 cells are ready for production yet.
