So after 2 days with the Leaf and the 30Kw battery, our estimate is that it’s actually underrated or they have found other ways to save power. I definitely notice more aggressive regen control on eco mode but we are seeing 120-125 mile on the display even after using 5-8% of the battery. Considering you can drive one for about $4K a year, almost no maintenance, and about ¼ of the cost of gas, it’s got to be one of the best values out there.

Think this will hurt sales? They already did this to the Model X. Or are they hoping the Model 3 will fill the gap?

Any 60 kWh Model S will have the ability to upgrade their battery to 75 kWh via an over the air update.
