Honestly, it seems like details like exact price is very much in flux, so I wouldn't be shocked to see the base price creep up. This fluidity extends to the battery pack size as well. It does say 13KWh on their web site, but an exec told me 17... which might help explain the range of mixed driving of 100 miles...

Are you sure about the 17kWh battery? That would be much larger than the posted spec of 13kWh. Nice write-up; thanks. -Tom “Priced as tested” What was the difference between this and the base ($25k) model?

Are you sure about the 17kWh battery? That would be much larger than the posted spec of 13kWh.
Nice write-up; thanks.
