[steph280]

1: Upgraded battery pack to 90 KWh for $3,000
2: Offering 70 kWH single motor for $70k
3: Upgrade for the high-performance Model S to a Ludacris mode. 0-60 of 2.8 seconds.


So effectively we can upgrade our 70D to a 90D for $3000 more? I think that'll piss off all the 85D owners.

 

[kuttakamina]

Larger battery pack! Thats what it is!

I was right on this.
Now also offerring 70S for 5K cheaper.
And P85D is 0-60 in 2.8 seconds.

Pissed that no Autopilot news. C'mon Elon! WTF!

The design page now shows the 70S.
70S ain't bad .. 10mi less range than 70D for 5K cheaper.

Not bad .. not bad!

Ludacris mode , 0-60 in 2.8 seconds

 

[AnOutsider]

Upgrade to 90 KWh for $3,000.

Sold. Wonder what the range would be for a non-D.

Ludacris mode , 0-60 in 2.8 seconds

That might explain the music.

Musk: 90 kWh upgrade will add an additional 15 miles of range.

Tesla Model S 90 D will have 300 miles of range (almost) at 65mph.

 

[CmdrThor]

Model X in a "few months"?? Could use a little more specific target.

 

[Mike_Schlechter]

Certainly owners like me with an "old" A battery would be fools not to upgrade.

 

[gregincal]

So much for the people who thought Tesla was going to discontinue single motor configs.

 

[yobigd20]

Existing customers can upgrade.

upgrade from what though? from 85->90 for $3k? or 70->90 for $3k? or 60->90 for $3k?

 

[Max*]

So 70D -> 85D is $10k for 30 miles, and 70D -> 90D is $13k for 45 miles?

 

[NuclearPowered]

Live blog says existing customers can upgrade the pack for 3k? Confirm?

 

[virtuesoft]

Wow. These announcements sound great!

 

[yobigd20]

upgrade does not include installation cost....

 

[Kbra]

I would assume there are different pricing options if you go from 60 to 90, 70 to 90, and 85 to 90. I own a 60 and would love to jump to a 90 but there is no way they would do it for 3k!

0-155 mph increased (decreased?) by 20 percent.

1500A current limit now (raised from 1200A if I recall correctly).
