That's the thing. They didn't. The roadster concept didn't have 200kWh in it at all.

It might not have exactly 200kWh of battery installed, but one reason for planning such a large battery is to be able to support the neccessary current levels for the accelleration they have demonstrated. So they couldn't have just put a small battery in the car either.
At the show, they were saying that it did. Do you have some evidence to the contrary?
