Important, and not being discussed as much: the heat pump. Winter efficiency will be much higher.
So glad I cancelled my Model X back in Dec. This plaid model is the shits.
My guess - one of two scenarios: They made the packs a bit smaller and found a bunch of efficiency in aero tweaks, power electronics, and pack construction, but X still is not aero efficient enough (because worse cD and more frontal area) to benefit from losing weight in the pack, while S is slippery enough that a lot more of its highway juice is going to overcoming friction as opposed to wind
or they de-rated X because it was always rated too high, heh
Battery supply constraints is very interesting. The legacy battery is also what’s going in installed capacity which is also growing fast. Fun stuff

Foglights are there, format is now very similar to models 3/y. I don’t like them personally, I prefer mine.

It doesn't seem likely. Though just the bigger battery, but the same performance, would be great for towing.

Here are my likes and dislikes.
Like
1. Interior refresh (my 2020 LR+ Feels 5 years older now)
- dashboard is modern and clean
- widescreen display much better for gaming and videos, easier to use than stretching my hand high or low
2. More power! I love the 3.8 sec 0-60, my 4.4 sec is the same as model Y which is embarrassing
3. Phone as key
4. Improved motors, battery pack and electronics
5. Noise canceling speakers makes for quieter cabin
dislike
1. Price is $10k more than I paid
2. Chrome delete isn’t special anymore
3. FWD still there means no full glass roof, passengers feel entombed still compared to 3 or Y or S
4. New fog lamps are the same as 3/Y
5. Still has an ugly rear

Sales person called today.. Seems like we have to pay additional 2K USD to keep our reservation.
For starters, 360 is ”estimated” which means the official EPA number could very well be higher.
Then considering the increased hp, not surprising if the range actually decreased, just like gas cars with V8 usually have lower mpg than V6 version.
