Tesla Motors Inc. said it is offering its electric vehicles with a battery capable of going up to 315 miles on a charge, the first time a major auto maker has provided that much electric range in a vehicle.

Article says the battery is capable of 315 miles on a charge. Where do you get just the car is and what's the difference? Aren't they one and the same?

The car includes the battery. You don’t get the car without the battery. The battery should be good for about as long as a typical owner has it. (And the battery is crazy expensive.) Think “gas-driven car goes 400 miles on a tank of gas” - yes, the gas tank is included.

The headline.

Tesla Unveils Electric-Car Battery With a 315-Mile Range

The battery can go nowhere unless installed in the Tesla Model S sedan. Without the car, it goes nowhere....zero miles. But the headline seems to indicate that it can. Proper headline:

Tesla Unveils New Battery That Provides Their Electric-Cars With 315-Mile Range

It's all semantics, you see. But a headline shouldn't be written like that by someone with a poor grasp of English. I'm presuming that person to be John D. Stoll at the WSJ.
