Earlier this year, white hat hacker Jason Hughes discovered through his skills that there was something extra hidden in the latest update to his Tesla Model S, and that was a P100D logo. This information was subsequently passed onto the rest of the world, and when Elon Musk got wind of it, all he could do was congratulate Jason on his hacking skills through Twitter. Once you have been caught red-handed, there is not much point in denying it.
It seems that Tesla has in fact been approved to sell cars in Europe that are fitted with a 100 kWh battery. Certification has been sought and granted by the relevant European authority, which is a requirement before any vehicle can be sold in a European country. The certification covers both a Model S 100 and a Model X 100. Both models are expected to have a range of around 380 miles.

Tesla has developed a new aspect for its electric cars in the way of a software-limited battery. The trick with this battery is the new entry-level Model S 60 is a 75 kWh battery but is restricted to 60 kWh by software installed in the car. Owners can, of course, upgrade to the 75 kWh model for an extra charge. This could bring further possibilities for Tesla in similar models too. Maybe there will only be 75kWh and 100kWh moving forward that is just adjusted as needed.
