Doubtful as that would likely require changes to the PEM and other components.What about the "C" rate of the new batteries? Anyone with a guess? With a bigger C rate, will the acceleration get better?
The larger pack size would allow higher current draw even at the same C rate, but if the PEM and/or other components are the limiting factor then it probably can't be utilized. Though with less voltage sag in the larger pack peak motor torque might move up to a bit higher RPM.

I agree on a possible after market solution, with or without Tesla's blessing. Anyone take measurements on a Model S drive unit for a possible swap?
So how about raising the level and providing all the needed dimensions? Track width is only one of the concerns, Model S motor/inverter diameter and length being two of the main ones, along with the gear drive dimensions, as well as available space in the Roadster body.I'm a bit surprised the debate about this is at such a low level. Pictures of both drive trains are google search away. Data is out there.

Well yeah, that was my point. There might not be enough room for the entire assembly but if the bare motor/inverter/gearbox fits a custom assembly could be built.Those dimensions are different enough that whole rear assembly would need to be replaced with MS's one. Motor diameter, gear radius etc are not important in such scenario as long as there is enough space in general.
Since the Roadster PEM is above the motor I don't see how that would provide extra space for the S inverter which is bolted beside the motor.As one would also remove Roadster's PEM, space should not be a problem.
