We Could Make A 600 Mile Tesla Model S
Tesla CEOElon Musk responded today to a tweet from one of his prominent supporters, Whole Mars Catalog, related to the range of electric cars.
Whole Mars Catalog wrote that Lucid delivered the first series-produced electric car with a range of roughly 500 miles, but Tesla "will be the first to mass-produce one."
The longest-range version of the Lucid Air has an EPACombined range of 520 miles. The longest range Tesla Model S has an EPACombined range of 405 miles.
Well, Elon Musk responded that a 600-mile Tesla Model S could've been made 12 months ago, but "that would’ve made the product worse."
Elon Musk pointed out that it would essentially require a higher battery capacity, which would mean a bigger, heavier, and more expensive battery pack. This battery would be "unneeded" on a daily basis, as even the current 400+ mile range is more than enough. Handling and efficiency would be substantially affected too with a bigger battery.
It's not the first time when Elon Musk cooled down expectations, which exceeds rationality and we fully agree with that.

My Take: Rational or not. I probably would want a 500 mile range on my car.
