Elon Musk: Tesla Model S will go farther on a charge
- CiaranMcNulty 12y agoThis article is just plain wrong on a number of points. They are wildly extrapolating from a tweet. "Ending range anxiety" could be anything from performance improvements, to more accurate routing, to a better system for finding charging points. "Tesla similarly upgraded its Roadster electric cars last year, expanding their range to almost 400 miles between charges via an over-the-air update" While that would be incredible if true, it is not. They have announced the availability of a physical battery upgrade for the Roadster that includes a complete battery swap, drive train improvements, and other stuff derived from the Model S research. This is ridiculous, CNN aren't even reading their own linked articles.
- greglindahl 12y agoYeah, the Roadster 3.0 announcement started by saying: The Roadster 3.0 package applies what we've learned in Model S to Roadster. No new Model S battery pack or major range upgrade is expected in the near term. http://www.teslamotors.com/blog/roadster-30 http://www.teslamotors.com/blog/roadster-30
