So the price delta between 300 mile and 500 mile is $30,000. 2 kWhr per mile means the 300 mile is a 600 kWhr battery and the 500 mile is 1000 kWhr. 400 kWhr'

So the price delta between 300 mile and 500 mile is $30,000.
2 kWhr per mile means the 300 mile is a 600 kWhr battery and the 500 mile is 1000 kWhr.
400 kWhr's for $30k means they are expecting $75 per kWhr battery costs. Last year they said it was under $190 per kWhr.
I am very skeptical they can meet that target, $75 would be pretty revolutionary in such a short time.
- Stefstefstef 9y agoI'm expecting Tesla to make truck drivers pay for faster charging. this might be a way to reduce initial costs.
- Matt3o12_ 9y agoTesla already said that megacharging (supercharing for trucks) will be 7 cents per kWh in all states, so that truck drivers have predictable costs (unlink Diesel, which can vary greatly).
- sunstone 9y agoYeah I did the same calculation. Apparently below $100/kWhr is the 'tipping' point so $75 ought to get things rocking.
