I have a 2018 LR with 310 range and decided to check out the tesla site tonight and see the LR is now AWD and has a 353 mile range. Is the battery larger? what changed.
Thanks
You are older.what changed
Some of the upgrades are certainly having some early life growing pains, ie the heat pump, changes to the interior that some like and some don't (removal of the dead pedal). I'm perfectly happy with my 2018 LR AWD and personally am glad I'm not dealing with any of the new issues. I'm sure they will all eventually get ironed out though.
Yeah,dont hold your breath.My trust is that Elon will keep these early adopter cars viable forever as a matter of
principle.
Yeah,dont hold your breath.
I also own a '24 kWh' Model LEAF that is good for ~ 16 kWh usable. It makes for a pretty good 'around town' vehicle. My model 3 can lose 80% of its capacityEven if the battery gets down to 50% capacity at some point in the future, for most people that would make a "viable" around town vehicle.
It also got a bigger battery too. I believe its 82 or 83 kwh now.
Better software
Better motors
Better battery chemistry
Better cooling and heating - heat pump for efficiency
Is it really that painful ?...double pain front glass...
Well, same software if you kept the 2018 updated.
Worse, actually.
The rear anyway. Front is the same.
The LR non-P got the same rear motor as the P back in 2018.
Now it gets the less capable (but cheaper to make) 990 rear motor.
some folks haven't had the best results with heat pump cars, but overall yeah should be helpful for efficiency
Various other non-range changes (2018 came with about $500 in hardware the newer cars don't like homelink, 14-50 adapter, dead pedal, some of the mats... for a while they had removed the auto-dim mirrors too but IIRC those are back now- the USB ports have changed, the console changed, double pane glass now, etc....
lightly lighter, less MOSFETs... just a little more efficient.

Add them all up, and the range goes up by a whole lot
This one is certainly true.
I'm don't doubt you, but was curious about what specifically you're referring to when comparing the 2021 77.8kWh battery to the older 2018 77.8kWh battery in terms of better battery chemistry. The denser Performance batteries in 2021 are superior, for density, at least.
So it's not awesome to give people the impression that there is going to be a significant difference in range between these two vehicles.
If the new chemistry cells/batt size have otherwise been exclusive to the P it's possible that guy got a one-off or something I guess, hadn't been following it too closely so you'd probably know better than I.
