Tesla has had a 100kWh battery for some time, but it has only been available in the performance-oriented P100D, with an EPA combined range of 315 miles (510km). As of the last few days, Tesla’s Model S 100D has become available, with an EPA combined range extended to 335 miles (539 km). In addition to being the best range available in any commercial electric car, it is only 8.5% less than the EPA-rated 366 miles (589 km) of the 2017 Honda Clarity hydrogen fuel cell vehicle.
In Australia, using the less stringent NEDC standard, the Model S 100D is rated at 632 km (393 miles).
Not surprisingly, Tesla's Model X also gets the 100kWh non-performance battery pack option.
