I mean you have a 100kW battery that is limited by the software at 70-80kW. This is what I mean by de-rating. Secondly, a 100kW battery is heavier than a 70-80

If you don’t pony up for the upgrade fee, you carry around all the time probably 50kgs of useless mass. More mass, less mileage.
- Kudos 1y agoThere's no additional battery cells, is the 50kg extra cooling or something?
- ExoticPearTree 1y agoOK, let’s try this another way: they could have sold a car with a say 70kW battery. Instead they are selling it with say 100kW battery. Am smaller battery would weigh less than a bigger battery. Because they de-rate the battery via software, you are carrying a bigger battery which weighs more than a smaller battery, while you only get the mileage of a smaller battery. Hence, you have deadweight in your car.
- dzhiurgis 1y agoOh man all this theorizing and getting units of measurement wrong.
