This is a hypothetical menu of Roadster battery pack upgrades - please choose which would best meet your needs from the list above.
Notes:
HANDLING: reduces weight the most with new cells, down to original 56 kwh.
RANGE: max range using same count of newer cells, with minor increase in weight.
MID-KWH: half-way between Handling and Range choices, by kwh
MID-WGT:half-way between Handling and Range cases, by weight
ALL NEW DUPLICATE: uses same capacity cells as originals, but less expensive today than, say, 2008.
Range has simple adjustments for kwh and weight. Cost is anchored on assumption of $40k for a pack with 6831 of "today's cells" (~$10k fixed for frame/bricks/sheets/drop&swap).
Thanks to all for participating.
