Yes thanks I did see that, but was it for the minimum or the maximum? If it was needed to give Model X similar Model S range, what's to say that they can't give us another bit for the performance/higher range end? Just food for thought...

At this point I'm nearly certain the 90kWh battery will be the largest battery at Model X launch. Elon said it was designed specifically for Model X and if they were going to do something bigger they'd just do it now rather than bother with a modest 5kWh increase. I do think they'll offer 70kWh as well, but the range will resemble the old S60 and it won't be very popular. I also expect the 85kWh will disappear within a few months and never be offered on Model X.

Ludacris mode will be offered on the Model X -- the Model X will be 10% heavier, so 3.3 (ish) 0-60 time due to higher centre of gravity -- but just a guess, says Musk.

90kWH was developed for the X -- 10% greater energy useage and 10% larger.
Net impact on range with the Model X with 90 kWH will be about 5%.
Does this mean that the range of the MX will be 5% less than the current MS? 270 - 14 = 255?

Hmm ... I was thinking the
90 kWh Model S was 5.9% more than the 85 kWh Model S and then
90 kWh Model X was 5% less than the 90 kWh Model S.
So the Model X would be about the same as the current Model S. Someone help with the interpretations.
[update]
After my post I saw Elon's stating about 6% as well.

FYI, I updated my post thinking that the 90 kWh Model S was 5.9% more than the 80 kWh Model S. Then I saw Tesla's blog also stating ~6%.

fairly sure i am going to go for the 90D as it's likely to have the most range and the greatest towing ability, (would the performance version have more towing ability? I can't see that as it is still a 90 kWh battery). in my opinion it will have more than enough performance. i not that interested in blowing away supercars from stop lights! well admittedly would like to do it once in awhile :biggrin:

I think Paul's previous towing comments are related to the bigger motor in the rear for the (P)erformance version.
It would seem the below Model S 85 kWh information would be relative/similar to the Model X 90 kWh specs.
