Which battery option do you have. 135 miles out of what is supposed to be 200 mile range doesn't seem so great. I need at the very least 120mile guaranteed to make my commute.


It's a 60kwh battery software limited to 40kwh. In other words, it allows me to charge to 66% on a 60kwh battery. I could pay $10k to unlock the extra 60 miles of charge, but not worth it to me.


Wait, does tesla put the same battery in all the vehicle and just limit it via software?


No, they only did it for people that ordered the 40kwh.
