Tesla Product Announcement at noon

[singleview]

ummm... my mind is not blown. What am I missing?

Umm... now, with retractable cup holders for the rear passenger seats?

P100D 315 miles > Mirai 312 miles

Kind of a big deal, IMHO...

Crazy true, but they are switching the whole battery pack.

This begs the question, how much of a core deposit are you getting on the old battery? Because I can think of a lot of S60 owners that would easily pay 10k for a 90kw battery that only has 1% range degradation.

 

[Yggdrasill]

Very interesiting that the 100 kWh pack does not involve n improved chemistry. That tells me two things:

1. Tesla/Panasonic isn't as far along chemistry-wise as hoped.
2. The new pack should be *very* interesting to dismantle. Someone needs to do this ASAP.

Also an interesting thing: The Model S is now not only the longest range BEV, but it *also* has a longer range than all the hydrogen vehicles for sale today!

 

[Mario Kadastik]

Soo... The 100D upgrade being 10k$ seems to indicate that undelivered cars may already run 100kWh packs, but already delivered ones do not or that they'd swap to the 100kWh pack pre delivery which is odd as it would delay a LOT of deliveries as I doubt there are any separate 100kWh packs on a boat to EU.

 

[Petra]

This will be the new tech in the M3 battery? So how many miles will they pack into that form factor?

The way I read the post, no... it sounds like these modules are still using 18650 cells and the same chemistry found in the 90kWh packs.

You get nothing. Tesla keeps the pack ("for recycling").

Tesla's product announcement - 0-60 in 2.5 secs - isn't doing much for the stock http://on.mktw.net/2btymsM

Yeah, and they'll sell the old one, not "recycle" it... Why do I feel so stupid that I'm paying "only" 120k ? Not premium enough to get the new seats ? **** off Musk, really... No more grey seats and premium seats only for the 160k version.

 

[Zaxxon]

we knew already that 60 is 75. now we know that 90 is 100

No, we specifically know that 90 is not 100. The higher upgrade fee is because a pack swap is required.

Then consider my 90kw pack up for sale to a lucky s60 owner.

 

[JohnSnowNW]

So, wouldn't this mean the 100D should be around ~340 miles. The P100D seems to have gained 45 miles on the P90D...

 

[omarsultan]

1. Tesla/Panasonic isn't as far along chemistry-wise as hoped.

Not necessarily true, it might just mean they will not have production quantities of the new chemistry until GF1 is online.

 

[Cosmacelf]

The press release makes this sound like you can only get a 100kWH pack in a ludicrous trim model?

 

[wayner]

I was hoping for the Maximum Plaid Roadster. How much longer do we have to wait for that!

I would be interested in an upgraded remanufactured or refurbished pack for a reasonable price and willing to part with current pack. Why recycle it when it's a perfectly good battery for another Tesla?

 

[number12]

Cool. News tire rack broke days ago. I'll ask them about 2.0

 

[Max*]

P100D which will be advertised to do 0-60 in 2.5seconds

Called it.

 

[AMPd]

Wonder if non ludicrous P90Dcan be upgraded, otherwise I'm looking at 30K for the upgrade

Eh even at 20k it's not worth it to me, unless it actually achieves 315 real world miles.

 

[Canuck]

I guess they will eventually phase out the 90 as production of the 100 ramps up. It's interesting to see how they are handling current orders to try to minimize backlash. The P90D's took a hit today -- like the P85+ did when the P85D came out - but at least they are telling those not yet in production that they can upgrade for $10k.
