Same Big E. My 2018 LR AWD never saw the update. My highest range at 100% charge from day 1 was 306.

theres a difference between being derated and just having the top kms hidden. So a 2019 performance (or AWD initially) the computer will know that your car has 523km range but will only display up to 499km.
Took delivery of my MYP on last day of 2020. Have put 36,000 on in 11 months (I didn't drive it for all of January while awaiting winter tires). I can also attest, no real problems to date. Even talked about it in a video I made--"This might be the best daily driver I have ever owned!"
275,000 miles lots of supercharging and Canadian winters still charges to 265 @100%
Impressive! 85% of original capacity at nearly 300,000 miles. Have you noticed any change in charging speed?
Pretty incredible. Just extrapolating the kind of numbers this would result in
~90K miles/year
~8-9 hours on the road per day
I expect you're in a courier business. Would it be accurate to say you need to supercharge twice an average day along with home charging overnight? It's encouraging to hear the car has held up well for you over that amount of distance! Comparatively, most of our cars will die of old age first.
Please keep us in the loop for future mileage/KM milestones.

Yeah, I never say the update either on my 2018 LRD. My indicated range at 100% charge at delivery was 308 mi. and today at 62k miles it indicates 280 miles.

We drive 50k/yr, so I have been wondering about the longevity of the Tesla battery. If the car is 70k (MYP), then running up the mileage in a few years would be too costly if it would need 50k of battery and drive units. I was wondering if putting this kind of mileage on a M3 at 45k or 50k would make more sense.
at 50k miles/ year = ~140 miles PER Day (?) your savings in gasoline will be insanely high. theoretically you could afford a new battery every 4+ years and still save money.

You must be spending a fortune on tires, given that the tires on the P variants are both expensive and quicker to wear out.
4 years at 50k miles = 200k milesYou must be spending a fortune on tires, given that the tires on the P variants are both expensive and quicker to wear out.
200k miles at 0.34kwh/mile = 68k Kwh in 4 years ... at 13 cents home charging overnight = $8,840 in electricity over 4 yrs
200k miles at ~30 mpg blended (BMW 3 series or comparable) = ~6,670 gallons burned over 4 yrs at $4 national average = $26,700 in gasoline over 4yrs
with the $17,800+ saved in just 4 yrs... I think he can afford a few set of tires (especially when factoring in that he saves ~$400 in oil changes annually)

I personally would buy a M3LR or MYLR and dump it just before 120k miles, which is when the battery and drive unit warranty runs out. Then I would buy a new one and start all over again. The gas savings you have on 50k miles a year is ridiculous.
I drive around 20k miles a year and plan on getting a new M3LR every 5 years personally. Too many unknowns and costs once you get outside of the warranty with Tesla. Over time this will get better I'm sure but not worth the risk after 120k miles IMO.

More than the some risk to you, selling the car with 10+K miles left on the battery warranty is good sense and greatly reduces the risk for the buyer that they are "buying trouble".
There's also an emotional buyer's issue about buying a vehicle with less than 100K miles.

I drive a Prius Prime, 120 mile per day round trip commute. I get around 20-26 miles on electric depending on the temperature. I don't commute with my other cars, just the Prius.

2020 M3P with 14k miles.
Range: 256 down 15% from the original 299. I bought it as a demo with 1,000 miles but since then it has been charged at home 99% of the time.
Maintenance: A section of plastic underneath had to be replaced after tearing from driving through standing water. A taillight was replaced due to moisture. A camera on the fender was replaced. The only out of pocket expense has been a tire rotation.

I missed 123,456 last week. I'm #11 on the TeslaFi Model 3 odometer page.
Guess I have to wait for 234,567
