Man.... the over-analysis here is beyond absurd. Of course it means that the 100 battery is coming out. Thanks to Jason's hacking and some quick decryption we've known this for a while!
And yes it will be retrofittable into older cars. Elon specifically said so when the 90 came out, but he recommended holding off for a bit until battery capacity climbed a bit more. I got a price from a SC for doing the 85-90 upgrade; it was something like 30K, which was more than it was worth to me. The 100 upgrade will be much more tempting; it makes long distance travel much easier.
So... my question becomes: do I replace the battery or do I replace the car?
