It is confirmed that Tesla has prepared a battery of 100 kWh for the Tesla Model S and Tesla Model X. With this new battery pack the Tesla Model S surpass the 600 Km of autonomy according to the NEDC cycle. Months that had been speculating with the possibility of more to existing 90-kWh battery, but there are now more ... official confirmation.
RDW is the Dutch company that accredits all products sold in Eruopa Tesla, and the database figure this company have already certified and approved a battery pack 100 kWh for the European market. So the Tesla Model S and Model X P100D or "plood" as they are commonly known, are only a matter of time.
In fact there is speculation with three power levels for the two models. Would the 100D, the P100D and P100D with Ludicrous mode (ridiculous). I remind you that in the current name of Tesla models, the dual D means; ie two motors (one per axis) while the P refers to Performance (high performance).
Beyond the different versions, this is a milestone: they are the first production electric vehicles that exceed 100 kWh of battery capacity. The Tesla Model S has 610 kilometers of theoretical autonomy somewhat optimistic, but exceed 500km on a single charge in the world realTM should be attainable by anyone who do not drive with lead shoes.
On the other hand, the Tesla Model X will have a little less of autonomy because of a weight and worse aerodynamics. Still, the P90D version gets 411 Km EPA (more realistic), so that the version of 100 kWh facilente should exceed 450 km and stay close to the 500.
With this car, autonomy no longer an excuse. Now we have to be able to offer all this at a price that most mortals can afford and then electric mobility will definitely triumphed unmitigated.
