Do you think that maybe they're just changing out the battery cells to a cheaper lower capacity version for the Standard+ similar to what they did when they went Max, just the other direction? Any guess what cell they might be using to do this?New support article. Maybe this will help people decide which pack to get if they really need to know.

When I first started hearing about the battery sizes, it made it seem like they might just be depopulating the Large pack, but that would be 15KWh; this is 10 KWh, similar to Max. Also, if this is correct, it seems like once they get LFP going, they'll have 4 different types of packs all with the same number of cells, just different types of cells. Maybe the pack refresh in a couple months will be to allow for the LFP cells in addition to what's already working.
