Default To answer Jim/The Laird's original question...

CAR seems to think so - and is the first magazine to take them seriously: more than 20 pages of Tesla-focussed review content (and no adverts!) and I expect the others will have to follow suit now

Pity, it should work. Worth buying the hardcopy to read whilst waiting in Heathrow lay-bys . If you're really stuck let me know, and I'll send it to you...

"Tesla customers who have ordered a P90D Ludicrous, but not taken delivery, can upgrade to the 100 kWh pack for $10,000. Existing P90D Ludicrous owners can also upgrade to a 100 kWh pack, but for $20,000, as their used 90 kWh pack will have to be recycled."

Are you a Ludicrous Owner?
