Tesla (TSLA) CEO Musk Says P85D Range Will Close in on P85+ Range with Next Software Update

Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) CEO Elon Musk posted the following to Twitter late Tuesday night:

Software update to achieve max efficiency (going to full idle on 2nd motor) is not out yet. Range of P85D should then closely match P85+.

85D has higher range than 85 when using the same tires. Sport tires have better handling, but 3% to 5% range impact. Tradeoff is worth it :)
