interested in your thoughts here. there are some people who still want rwd. even with the new website design, you have to look for the 85 to find it. are they trying to phase out rwd and/or the 85 altogether?
With so many superchargers available, what is the real benefit for offering a larger battery pack in the future.
I understand, that for many individuals, the Superchargers are not available on the specific routes they might prefer, but at the rate superchargers are being built, that should be less and less of an issue in the future.
With the release of the future smaller Tesla, I would believe that superchargers would become even more tightly grouped.
I think in the interim the reason they changed the 60 to the 70 and increased the price and capacity to eliminate the lesser models has to do with the CPO Program and the inventory they have. They will want to charge $60-$70k for preowned 60's and that would be tough if a new one is so close in price.
My opinion of course... I think we will see 85 kWh and 100 kWh packs for the Model X. This will allow X to have roughly the same range as the Model S 70 and 85. I think it would be bad for Tesla if the Model X had lower range than Model S. In mid-2016 and after the X has been shipping for a while, we will see the Model S upgraded to 85 and 100 packs. The 70D and 85 RWD will be discontinued. This will give us Model S variants with range from 270 to 315 miles EPA. This positions the Model S lineup to have longer range than the Model 3 that will come the following year. Model 3 variants will probably come in 200 and 250 mile versions.

Agree, and I was thinking the same thing. Once those packs are available, it's only a matter of time before it becomes an option in the S. Being one of the first Model S owners (just after the Sigs), I missed out on a lot of the "cool new stuff" but at a little over two years in, I'm going to hang tight for a bit to see if this pans out. I'd love AWD and Auto Pilot...

The only thing wrong with my hypothesis is that if Tesla does as I describe, Model S sales could fall off a cliff because people will know that a 100 kWh pack is just around the corner.

RWD Model S will be discontinued.
