It says: "New buyers now have the option of upgrading the pack energy from 85 to 90 kWh for $3k, which provides about 6% increased range. For example, this takes our current longest range model, the 85D, to almost 300 miles of highway range at 65mph."
But...when you configure the 90D it still has EPA range of 270 (just like 85D) showing, so it probably hasn't gone through the EPA tests yet.
So what do you think the 90D range will really be?
Seems like a simple question - "almost 300 miles of highway range at 65 mph", though, doesn't mean 300 miles EPA.
And. . . 1.06 * 270 = 286.2 miles. So . . . 6% more than 270 is only an additional 16.2 miles, right? to 286.2, not 300.
What's the apples to apples range increase from the 85D to the 90D?
(I'm surprised I haven't seen this question yet - apologies in advance if I missed it.)
