I'm making this post so that I commit myself to running a test for the betterment of the community.
This Saturday I will do a 100% to < 10% run with my July 2018 Model 3 LR RWD that recently got 2019.5.15. I'll see how many kWh I get out of the battery in order to see if the update unlocked capacity or if it's just a recalibration of the number on the screen.
Tentative testing methodology:
Start with 100% charge
Drive to 50% and record the kWh consumed and miles traveled. Miles traveled is less relevant than how many kWh were consumed since it's still winter here.
Turn around and arrive back home somewhere under 10%.
Please comment with suggestions for this test. I want to perform a decent test and get good data.
