    Tesla Changes Up Nomenclature For Model S and X

      Finishes off a month of various changes

    Before January comes to a close, Tesla has announced some more changes for the Model S and X. Instead of using 100D and P100D to designate models, Tesla will be using the naming system found on the Model 3. This is how it will break down.

    • 100D = Extended Range
    • P100D = Performance
    • P100D with Ludicrous Mode = Performance with Ludicrous Mode

    There will also be base models known as the Model S and Model X. They'll get the same 100 kW battery as in the extended range models, but range will be locked to 310 Miles (Model S) and 270 miles (Model X). You can pony up $8,000 to gain the extra range (335 for the Model S, 295 for the Model X).

    Earlier in the month, Tesla dropped the 75D and made the 100D the new base model (which in turn raised the base price by $15,000 or more).

    Wait.

    Tesla is charging $8000 for a measly 25 more mile range?? That's insane.

    Not sure why the new 'system' is even more convoluted, rather than simpler. And why not 'P100LM'?

      Subaru News: Subaru Reveals new 2026 Subaru Trailseeker

      I've done it and showed @G. David Felt in the past (posted here). I've tried finding the video but have had no luck. If you have super hero powers as an admin/site owner, please find it! I'll try and remember to do it again the next time I get gas.  There are places to wait in lines around here but those are the exception to the rule, not the rule. From my house, I could drive the two blocks away, fill up, and get back home in under 10 minutes. There are never lines in town and it takes no time to start pumping using a credit card.  Or I could find a Sam's Club and wait 5-15 minutes in line before pumping gas, but they're the only places you're waiting in line and it isn't every time. I've certainly gotten gas at a Sam's Club and not waited in line.  Yes, a heat pump would be necessary here for battery efficiency for at least a third of the year.

      Got this neat 1/64th 2019 CT6 diecast in the mail today, from China off eBay.   Looks like my 1:1.

      It's going to matter whether the EV in question has a heat pump HVAC system or resistive heater.  I don't have time to look into the Subarus at the moment, but that is an important question to answer.  Hyundai/Kia make them optional on lower end EVs, but if you live anywhere north of the Mason-Dixon Line, you should be getting a heat pump by default. Also, if you're in for a cold patch, it's perfectly acceptable to keep the charge at or close to 100% and use house current to pre-heat your battery/cabin before departure.  Doing so you'll keep any battery loss to a minimum in cold weather while driving.   I should time it sometime, but the main takeaway I have is that it varies widely even at the same station.  The Costco I go to can be a fast pump or slow pump depending on how busy they are.

      I actually sort of liked him.

      Yes sad but he did have his time.  While not a religious person, I was happy he was from humble roots in Brazil. He related to the common humanity across our globe way better than some pops that came from well to do backgrounds and felt they were a cast above the lowest group of homeless people. RIP Pope Francis.
