Tesla Model S and Model X with larger batteries leak out

Nestled within the update was a reference to a P100D in the form of an image of a P100D badge for the rear of one’s Tesla. Musk tweeted back that wasn’t his call and commended him for his hacking skills.

The news comes from Dutch site Kenteken.TV, which spotted the new models in an updated database from RDW, the regulator tasked with certifying Tesla vehicles for the European Union.

The agency now publishes complete type approval data for cars sold in the European Union, a process harmonized many years ago among members so a vehicle can be sold in any EU country without requiring specific national modifications.

Would you buy a Tesla Model S?

That range number is completely credible. The EPA’s current range for the Model S is about 290 miles. The range of the vehicle has been quite debatable, as EPA of U.S. says that 90D gives only 302 miles on a single charge. If this report is right, Tesla will be two years behind from the expected release of 2017 for Tesla Model 3. The blogosphere has already nicknamed it the plood – a variation of the model designation.

Speculations about the battery for Tesla Motors’ electric cars are very close to stand true, says Global Equities Research analyst Trip Chowdhry. The company introduced a new entry-level model – the Model S 60 – with a price $4,000 less than the old Model S 60. He believes the electric auto maker will produce two battery options for all of its vehicles, rather than producing different battery options for different electric-range cars. The owner – or a subsequent owner – can upgrade to the full 75 kWh for an extra fee. Tesla cars are being manufactured and designed by Tesla Motors, Inc., which is an American automotive company that sells electric vehicle powertrain components, battery products and, of course, their well-known electric cars.

The other thing we can expect is an ultra-high-performance version based on the larger battery. However, the enhanced power coupled to the Ludicrous upgrade should see the future P100D Teslas accelerating even faster than the P90Ds.
