So when Musk was asked if existing 85 owners could upgrade to the larger pack, this was his response:
"Existing owners can also purchase the pack upgrade, but I wouldn't recommend doing so unless usage is on the edge of current range. On average, we expect to increase pack capacity by roughly 5% per year. Better to wait until you have more time on your existing pack and there is a larger accumulated pack energy difference."
So how much larger do the batteries have to get before we can stop waiting to upgrade our 85s to larger packs?????
Things change. They're clearly choosing not to offer it right now. I do expect that, at some point, outside vendors will offer 3rd party pack upgrades. I'm not sure how that will work with the Tesla software update process. It's going to be interesting.
