Agree--it would be foolish to further irritate your most lucrative customers. Unless....the 90kWh packs are really SW-limited 100kWh packs, which might make more sense for the slow ramp than door seals...?

There are supposed to more features and tech in the MX than admittedly they should have waited on. So doors are one, what else could be waiting. If it were a SW update to the battery, i'm sure any price would be fair market, since they did offer a great update price for 85 to 90 and ludicrous for existing owners...

The talk on the S board is that stores are starting to talk about a price increase that WILL happen in April. Could be posturing for the M3 reveal, could be a bigger battery, but more than one person said they heard the same from their salesman.

The EPA ratings seem entirely accurate to me, people just don't understand exactly what the EPA rating is.
I best EPA ratings all the time, both highway and city, on my Leaf in the summertime. In my last gas car I got as high as 20% above the EPA rating on long roadtrips.
I don't think it would irritate those customers. If they announced 100kw for the 3, they could just point out that it won't be available until next year (or later). They get the news out on something that doesn't yet exist that gets us all excited. And they keep the current customers happy because they know they'd have to wait 18+ months for the S or X models to have that feature.

I have felt tha we will see a big change in the Model S after it no longer has to be the entry model. Once the Model 3 comes out, the model S isn't held back by entry price. That unlocks potential and possible loss of the 70kwh battery at the same time.

100kWh pack on the M3 makes no sense and there would have to be a significant increase in density to push the pack to 100kWh and shrink it 20% at the same time.

I think Sigs should get it free, and Production Cars could pay $5k for the privilege.
Considering the 90D was 3k more than the 85D, 5k makes sense for 90->100 and it also continues with the theme of "5k to upgrade to the newest tech" (aka Ludicrous to P85Ds)
