Tesla reverses course and brings back lower-priced Model S 60. Last year, Tesla replaced the entry-level Model S 60 with the higher-spec Model S 70, upping the cost of Model S ownership.but now it's decided to backtrack ... kind of. The new Model S 60s are actually outfitted with a 75-kWh battery, and the full 75 kWh can be activated via a software update, either at the time of purchase for $8,500 or later down the road for $9,000. The 75-kWh 60D has a 259-mile (417-km) range and 140-mph (225-km/h) top speed, and the 75-kWh 60 offers 249 miles (401-km/h) and 140 mph. The Model S 60 is officially back, creating a lower price of entry. For those willing to spend extra, the Model S 60 can become the Model S 75.

Fucking chewbacca defense all up in this motherfucker.
Tesla originally offered the 75-kWh upgrade on 70 models, with activation set at $3,000 before delivery and $3,250 after.
>pay for more range by unlocking a software toggle
I hope Mercedes etc don't start delivering cars with one or two cylinders disabled until you pay 9k extra.

>implying development on an an illegal way to unlock it isn't underway
Cars will get interesting when you can get the highest sport trim by downloading some jailbreak
Saw my first Model X today. It was smaller than I thought it would be.
>tfw want p90d bad
this is becoming the automotive equivalent of on-disc DLC
>>15236600
Oh no doubt, but Tesla's software is bad enough without some Russian adding "do not cut do not recoded" to it and add a cool new tune when you start the car.

Went to lunch with aunt and uncle last week, saw a hellcat charger and p90d sitting right next to each other, and was passed by probably 20 911s on the way home. Pic related.

>illegal
It's your car, remaping the ECU for more boost isn't illegal despite efforts from GM to cover it under DMCA.
>>15236498
Is it still less safe than a Smart For2 for ocupants?
>>15236653
What is story behind thisimages
>>15236600
finally a reality
>for $6500 more you can purchase the Tesla 75kWh battery DLC
Tesla is the EA of fucking automobiles. Even Apple isn't this fucking jew.
How long until
>you can activate your turbo for only 4500 more
IDK how this doesn't piss people off, same goes for GMC DLC. Fuck why don't I see this fucking bullshit in Mercedes or BMW? Only fucking Amerishit cars?

the GL450 and GL550 are the same engine but have greatly different horsepower and torque from ECM tuning.

How do you crash like that, heart attack?
>>15236656
Despite braking, her mass kept the car going straight into the wall.
>paying $8500 for something already installed on your car
Electric cars are going to be jewed worst than console gamers.
Overprovisioned batteries are great, because they'll last forever.

The GL550 and GL450 has different injection systems don't they? The GL550 has Merc's new direct injection system GDI.
>>15237107
Not him and I don't know about those cases, but it happens plenty that the same engine is used and only tuned electronically.
I can get the price difference if there's been any mechanical changes, but then the price difference is still too high.
On the other hand, cars are overpriced anyway.
>>15237139
Yea it uses the same ECM but you can't use the firmware for GL550 on the GL450. The timing is different true but the timing is designed for the GDI. It might work and add some HP but I don't think you would get the 429 HP/MPG offered in the GL550.
Dlc the car.
>>15236498
Meme the car.
I built those in a factory. Just don't remove the trim and look at the frame. ;^)
hot fixes are everywhere
>>15236600
Fuck yes.
Can't wait for those dodgy as shit car keygens so i can join the botnet while doing 300
>>15237372
what are you talking about the car is the future. the unemployed hipster with a gender studies degree told me it was.
>>15236520
Not really. It's basically just paying $9000 for on-disc DLC.
