However I think Tesla won't go below a range of 150 miles for the base model, or so, also since by 2015 the Leaf will likely have a larger range as well. And if the price for a 150 mile pack is still high then, I think they will rather sell it for a higher price at first, than reduce the range further, consistent with their current strategy to offer good products without too many compromises.
My bet for the 2015 Leaf is for a 20% increase in range. The pack will be physically the same size and shape but the batteries will hold 28-30kWh. So I predict their range to be 90-100 miles realistically compared to their 73 miles now. Just MHO.
My guess for the Tesla Bluestar will be 150+ range with 120+ miles under realistic highway speeds. That's for the base level.
