Are you referring to the Standard Coil Suspension?So what does this mean for the air suspension option? Are they ditching that too?
You mean there maybe a software which can limit the height adjustment on the Air Suspension?

Makes the most sense.Didn't the 40KWh pack have something to do with the government loan requirement?
Does this mean that the *big* announcement is an early pay back of the loan?
I think what they've done makes things right for existing 40kWh reservation holders. (Though I don't think they well allow any more in the future.)As a 40kwh reservation holder, I am emotionally drained. This announcement does nothing for me. When is Tesla building my car? I am more ticked off about the communication process regarding the 40kwh owners. This is twice I have had to find out about the drama of 40kwh issues via press releases or quarterly statements. I would have expected news like this in the form of a targeted email. I will probably still hold out and wait for the car, but as for the other 18 people in my office who are watching this soap opera, they will most likley never be Tesla customers.

What do you expect from a publicly traded company?
Just now received an email on this issue. I would have expected it 5 minutes after the press release.
The upgrade to 60kwh later can be $10k now or $11k later. Supercharger $2K now or $2.5k later.

I never rec'd an email, and funny thing was, I spoke with a rep this AM, and they did not mention the bump in price if you choose to wait. Not that well handled by Tesla IMO. I appreciate the ability to upgrade in the future, and am happy about this happening, but still - need to communicate with the customers better.

I seriously want to put in another reservation for a "40kWh" pack car right now. Knowing it comes with 60kWh of actual battery capacity, means you don't have to worry about degradation at all..
I talked to the rep in CA and he says the 40kw will only be available for a very limited time. I still don't understand the cost of $11k to upgrade later (software setting?) I know they are trying to make everyone happy but really?
Also no supercharger, you basically have to pay 11k for the 60kw then $2500 to get the supercharger after delivery.
I think the $1,000 & $500 incremental charges sound reasonable. You are actually getting a time value from the $ you saved now. Obviously Tesla should charge an "admin fee" / "interest" if you would like to enable the features later. Otherwise, they would have collected the $10K+2K up front.I talked to the rep in CA and he says the 40kw will only be available for a very limited time.
