Panasonic: new cells holding 3400mA ready in 2012 more than 50% increase

[Eberhard]

I was told, that the 300 miles option would be available for the signature edition from the beginning (may for the european version). My Roadster holds nearly 160Ah. My calculation says a little more then 2300mA per cell. that is already more then the nominal 2200mA. Thats count for nearly 58kWh total capacity.

My area sales rep told me last week that the 300 mile pack would not be available at launch.

Well, as long as they offer an upgrade path (i.e. trade in current pack towards the price of the larger) it should be OK.

All verbal at this point, but that option was mentioned in my conversation.

Thanks for confirming Ben!

Agree, a pathway to an upgrade (when available) would be nice to have some hard info on.
