> it seems unlikely Tesla would want to trade off much of either mass or torque for price. Tesla routinely make this tradeoff -- e.g. the Standard Range M3 uses LFP (litium iron phosphate) batteries that are cheaper but less energy dense compared the to Long Range M3 that uses a more nickel-based lithium battery that's more performant.
