Would it be possible for Telsa to sell roadsters at a later date with the same battery pack but longer range and less performance?
I am no Mechanical Engineer but was thinking that most of us will enjoy the 0-60 in 3.9 (or 3.75 with Sport) but do we really need it? If Tesla built a roadster with less performance and longer range it could increase economies of scale and lessen cost...then again if most of the cost is in the battery pack then you would not be able to charge much less for a longer range/slower car...
Then again with a 0-60 of 6.0 and a range of 300+ you may not have to lessen cost by too much....maybe it would just lessen the fear of range restriction...
Just thinking out loud...feel free to do the same.
