On the subject of SR+ battery capacity. I am quite eager to find out what my car's actual battery capacity is. So far there is no official information. Car weights are not reliable source - Tesla shows same weight for SR and SR+, but SR should have less equipment(power seat motors, no full mid console, less speakers, different fabric, etc..) compared to SR+. Mid range weight was showing a bit higher, but again we have different equipment, it is not just the battery)
So, after driving/charging the car for a few days now, I can deduct the the SR+ pack currently has ~54kWh available capacity, based on the car readings.
First - the car is showing a rated Wh/mile "line", which is at 225 Wh/m, where you can achieve the rated 240 miles range. Multiplying 225 by 240 = 54kWh.
Second - I charged the card from 48% to 89%, and for 41% battery capacity it took ~22kWh(again based on the car readings, I have no separate meter at home), so 22/41 = ~ 54kWh
Please confirm or prove me wrong. My engineering side really wants to know what the real number is.
So far the car is a blast to drive, the winter real world Wh/m in VA(freezing temps in the morning) is between 275 and 300Wh/mile, which with only using the battery between 80% and 20% gives me pretty much 3 days of commute with no charging. When I "feathered" it in the afternoon drive, it went down to below 200Wh/m, but the instant torque is way too addictive, to drive this way. Still, I see, that I'll have no problem to get the range if I do a long distance trip.
