Yeah, not a good car for someone that takes long road trips

Tesla on Tuesday announced a new drivetrain design for the Model S and Model X that extends each vehicle’s range per charge substantially. The 100 kWh battery pack will remain exactly the same as before, contrary to prior reports, but the new additional miles of range will come from increased efficiencies in the drive units. Tesla now claims a pretty massive 370 miles on the EPA cycle for the Model S Long Range, and 325 miles for the Model X Long Range.

Tesla says the new system includes an all-new permanent magnet motor on the front axle in addition to a more standard fare induction motor on the rear axle. Further improvements have been made to the car’s lubrication, cooling systems, bearings, and gear designs to reduce inefficiencies. With these reductions in rolling resistance, Tesla claims the new drivetrain accounts for a 10% improvement in range, an improvement to regenerative braking harvesting, and even lower 0-60 times.
Further improvements have been made to the S and X models where charging is concerned, as well. The company now claims both Long Range models will be able to charge at a rate of 200 kW on V3 Superchargers and 145 kW on V2 Superchargers. This is stated as being 50% faster than current charging rates.

If you can afford one of the long range S or X models you can drive for quite a while before you need to charge again.
