Tesla is releasing a new Roadster 3.0 package for the original Tesla Roadster, the two-seater sports car that was also the company’s first car. The company says this will enable the car to travel more than 400 miles (643.7 km) on a single charge and will be showcased during a non-stop drive from San Francisco to Los Angeles in early 2015.
“We have identified a new cell that has 31% more energy than the original Roadster cell. Using this new cell we have created a battery pack that delivers roughly 70kWh in the same package as the original battery,” reads Tesla’s blog post.
