My thoughts on the new battery options:
As others have pointed out, I think this is only half the story. I think this will get them through Q1 and allow them to deliver roughly 20k S and X and focus more resources on scaling Model 3. However I do believe we will see a new 115-125 battery pack option in April. That would align perfectly with the reports that Panasonic will move cell production to North America in April and it would allow Tesla to differentiate the S and X even more before some German competitors enter the market.
