Any range improvement from dropping 200 or 300 or 400 lbs is going to be single digit stuff in real world. Heat improvement ditto.
Range is mainly about aerodynamics and the ambient temperature.
Any weight loss - and we’re talking prob more like 225-250 - will mostly impact handling, and that modestly. I can see them dropping everything down to match current range then tossing in another 50lb of batteries for marketing boost.
This is separate from any discussion about how to handle the output from each factory during transition.
