But that means they already have quite a bit more space for more batteries that isn't being utilized for anything on the lower range models, which seems like a huge waste. If they can power more motors and get 100 miles of additional range in the same vehicle, they're really leaving a lot on the table.
They need to make a cheaper version for people, hence the rwd as well.
You don't just magically fill the whole battery pack for free
They have dummy cells in other Teslas as well, or have in the past anyway
