300+ Mile Model 3?

I did not know that Mexican was a language!

Its a bit like "american" is a language
But that is the same as the whole EVSE/Charger thing :biggrin:

Interesting. What is your source for stating that the Roadster 3.0 package of upgrades (or at least the promised but so far available aero modifications) will decrease the CD to 0.31?

Here.

People have been speculating about a 70kWh battery for Model 3, so it's interesting to see that figure proposed for the Roadster upgrade. This will even fit the existing ESS pack volume rather than encroach on more of the Roadster's tiny trunk space. Tesla's own tests show around 350 miles for a single charge for the Roadster 3

Obviously the Roadster is much lighter, carries less payload and reducing the Cd from 0.36 to 0.31 is presumably much less of a challenge than the alleged sub-0.2 target for Model 3.

I'm not sure about 300+ miles for the 3. Would be fantastic, but may only be possible with fairly dramatic aero modifications.
