I guess it's likely a marketing thing. Is the buyer looking for a specific battery capacity? or a range?



Most people purchase the car with the various battery packs based on range, not technical details like kWh. Buying kWh doesn't do anything for the car, while buying range is the material point of an EV. If Tesla were selling those packs for Powerwall and were short, I'd agree there's likely a material problem. But - assuming the ranges are correct - I don't know that you could consider that a material misrepresentation on the car.



Is it the right thing to do to a primarily-techie customer base? I say 'no'. I'm guessing they were stretching for more differentiation in the model numbers. I don't like it but I understand it.
