Tesla preps an extra long-range battery for its electric cars

You could see 100D versions of the Model S and Model X in the near future.




Tesla has dropped hints that it's ready to extend the range of its electric cars (there was an allusion to a "P100D" hidden in firmware), but it now looks like that long-distance technology is getting closer to fruition.
