Although I am not yet thinking of selling I was curious to see what my MS is currently worth as far as a trade in is concerned.
Filled in all the boxes and got a price yesterday however within the quote is says that I have a Long Range Plus but on the app and on my V5 is just states Long Range.
A lady called me this morning from Tesla and asked if was looking to act on the trade in, I explained that I wasn't but did ask her the question regarding the Plus/not Plus issue, she said that she would look in to it and get back to me and to be fair she just has with the following text...
Hi,
Thank you for taking the time to speak to me today regarding your Model S.
Currently, the Tesla Model S Long Range Plus has the longest range. The 2020 model offers an EPA-rated range of 412 miles.
All ranges follow the WLTP standard, which can be useful in comparing ranges among electric vehicles. Certified ranges at the top of our configurator are tested on the largest wheel option, as required by law, reflecting the lowest-range configuration. Ranges listed under wheel and seating selections are estimations based on your chosen configuration.
Actual range may vary based on factors such as speed, weather conditions and elevation change.
Basically, it is never the same in real world as per WLTP standard, as due to real world conditions it is advisable to deduct 10-15% of estimated range to get an exact figure.
You are also currently have a Tesla that has the most range out of all other Models, even 2022 Model 3 long range has a little bit less than your Model S.
Since new, the app on the phone has only ever shown a maximum of 370 miles at 100% and not the 412 miles stated in the text, I realise that you will never get all of those miles but surely from the off it should of shown 412 miles at 100%. Another thing, it no longer even shows 370 miles, it now shows 348 miles which seems very low to me for a car that is 18 months old although it has covered 32,000 miles.
So, do I have a Long Range or a Long Range Plus???? I don't know.
On a side note, I only normally charge to 90% unless I am planning a long journey, is there any way of getting the missing miles back?
