Any chance they’ll be something new under those areos? I suppose we’ll have to wait for actual deliveries for confirmation of heat pump and other upgrades.

I was going to suggest the heat pump is responsible for the range increase except the Model Y now has higher quoted range as well.
I guess of particular interest is whether the higher range is due to a hardware change, a software change, or a different way of measuring no change whatsoever.
But the Model Y doesn't get the 5+% that the Model 3 and Model X got. (It got 3-4%)
So many changes tonight, I can't keep up.

Auto dimming side mirrors are mentioned again on the order page. Seems like they have returned?
19-inch sport wheels, not wheels caps! looks like an amazing update

Tesla Model 3 'refresh' goes live with 353-mile range, Uberturbine wheels, powered trunk, and more
BREAKING News: Tesla updated the website and released the new information for the refresh. What does this mean for me, on my manage page it still shows I am getting a version without the chrome delete ?

It’s official in the uk too...

though interestingly aero wheels remain and no mention of auto dimming side mirrors. Good jump in range though 360 miles and 4.2 seconds for the LR and 352 and 3.1 seconds for the P. Quite an increase for no additional cost
Interestingly some SR cars have appeared in the UK inventory too. If they have revisions it means some new VIN are here and at least should be a good walk around look.
we’ve ordered a LR M3 with tow hitch in white with aero wheels and FSD. I don’t think I need to edit my design as hopefully were automatically in line for the refresh. Views would be great ...

Ok so about the heat pump and the range increase, I'm slightly confused. If the range increase is due to the heat pump, we would see a relatively higher increase in the SR+ than the LR because the energy lost to heating the cabin is constant; say it used to be 4kwh and now is 1kwh, this benetits the SR more (3 kwh is a 6% increase of the 50kwh pack, vs 3,5% on the LR 80kwh)
The range increase we're seeing matches more with a higher density battery, because a 5% improvement means 2,5kwh more on SR and 4kwh more on LR, which they can just multiply by m/kwh to get the numbers we're seeing.
Heat pump could still be in there, but the relation to the range increase seems unlikely?
