It's looks to be a new Tesla version of a Chevy bolt. Battery is 10-20% smaller but it will likely be more efficient so the range should be similar. Tesla always claims more range so, stated range 260, real range 240

Hmmm... First of all, the Cybertruck has a 123 kWh battery, not 100...

Also, with the knowledge that the battery in the CT is (supposedly) only about 'half full' as far as the battery cells, that tells me that it's possible that if they use the same batteries (or newer 'levels' of the 4680?) would it be possible that the 53 pack size could be increased to, say, 65 kWh?

Then, in a smaller and, more importantly, LIGHTER Model 2, you could still get upwards of 300 miles on a charge... OR they just keep the battery smaller (maybe even reduce it) to save a TON of money in building it and sell it as the best 'commuter' car with a range of, say, 225 miles...

PRICE is going to factor in for the sales though... Will it be priced so much lower than the Model 3 that the model 3 ends up 'going away'? It would make the M3 a 'slightly smaller' than the MY while the M2 would be even smaller?

I think (HOPE even) that it NEEDS to be able to have a range of 200 miles minimum though or nobody is going to bother buying it (unless the price is REALLY low, like under $15K) and even then, with the current 'hate on Musk and Tesla' people out there, it will be a hard sell if it doesn't get that kind of range...
