Hello and welcome to the Monday January 14th 2019 edition of Tesla Daily on

official Tesla Podcast. My name is Rob

Maower a little bit quieter of a day today than we expected Tesla did end up dropping

the 75 kilowatt hour versions of the Model S and the Model X from the design studios today.

However, as of right now there are no other changes that have been made.

Even though we did discuss this as a possible option, I am still surprised that we haven't seen another update to the design studio yet.

Now nothing is final, we still may see changes.

In fact, it's probably more likely than not because Tesla has not yet updated any of the nomenclature

for the model S or model X. The remaining variants are still referred to as the 100D and the P100D, even though Elon had responded to someone on Twitter and said that

SNX would adopt to the model 3 naming system in terms of long-range, standard range, etc.

So we haven't seen that yet. That's another reason to think that there may still

be continued changes coming. But if that is the case, I do find it odd that all of those changes weren't made at the same time.

Tesla right now is still selling the 100 Ds and the P100 Ds for the same prices that they have been selling them at.

If they were going to suddenly make another update and introduce let's say a 120 kilowatt hour pack at the high end of the lineup and then make the 100

kilowatt hour pack the opening end of the lineup, then it would seem extremely likely that

they would lower the price for those 100 kilowatt hour pack vehicles from where they're at today.

But if they do that soon, they're going to have sold a few cars in the period of time between now and

then at this higher price and undoubtedly have a lot of complaining customers

as we've seen in similar situations in the past. So I don't see a whole lot of

upside to Tesla staggering any updates here by dropping off the 75 kilowatt hour packs before updating the rest of the range if they do plan to do that.

Now it is possible that if there are pending updates, those pending updates may not be quite ready yet for production.

So Tesla may just be waiting until they are ready to get them added to the design studio
