I saw this coming. Kinda stinks as that model works for my family and it was a good price. Oh well, 100d here I come...

If so, are the 100’s the new SR and the coming 120’s (whatever) the LR?!This will be the last week of kWh designation for Tesla
If you order a 75 on Sunday who knows you might get a software limited 85
That is my hope. When they do that I will be placing my order for the new long range Model S.If so, are the 100’s the new SR and the coming 120’s (whatever) the LR?!

Yup. the batteries might gradually shrink as efficiency improves though... as long as range stays same for each range designation...If so, are the 100’s the new SR and the coming 120’s (whatever) the LR?!
(They/Elon did mumble something about this at some point... probably the shadow of it!)
Tesla focusing on increasing profit margins. 60 & 75's were there to address people who wouldn't spend $100K for a car but wanted a viable EV - those people can buy a Model 3, now that it's being released worldwide. IIRC profit margin on cars is one of Elon's deliverables to the company (in order to get his stock bonus) - discontinuing the lower profit margin car will help that, but he couldn't do it before as it would hurt the volume, another deliverable of his. Basically, by selling a potential 75 customers a Model 3 instead, Tesla makes more money.
I agree with whitex' argument but would be interested to hear why else would they do this?Interesting thought, but I’m not sure I agree with your conclusion. Admittedly pure speculation, but I’d assume Tesla’s profit margin is greater on a S75D than an AWD 3.

If so, I'm trading up my X90D immediately. That extra range will save me a ton of time on towing trips - less stopping, less 100% charges.If so, are the 100’s the new SR and the coming 120’s (whatever) the LR?!

I predict that Tesla will introduce a new battery pack that will take advantage of the upcoming V3 faster Superchargers.
With faster charging, a bigger battery will not be as necessary.
