Model X 'Raven' New Range!

[ElectricX]

Hi everyone.
Just saw on the Tesla website the EPA est. range of the Model X Standard Range went up by 5 miles from 250 to 255!
I didn't notice any difference with the Long Range or Performance, but I could be wrong.

I saw this too. I’m thinking it should be about 260miles coz the LR has 10% increase from previous model (pre refresh X). Did you order the new SR?

Yes, I ordered the new SR on 5/10. I too thought the mile discrepancy between the SR & LR was too high, but I’ll take the extra 5 miles.
I wonder how this will affect real world range. I’ve read that due to the SR being software limited it can be charged to 100% without I’ll affects on the battery. If the LR is charged to 80% and a SR is charged to 100% that’s not a big difference.

wait the new standard range is a software locked 100 kWh battery? are you sure about that?

standard range weighs 5307 lbs
long range weighs 5421 lbs

No, the SR battery isn’t software limited, it’s a 75kwh battery pack. The agent from Tesla had confirmed it when I asked about it battery packed used for SR after the refresh had been announced.

Man, I hate it when there is conflicting information.
When I test drove earlier this month my 'agent' told me specifically that Tesla is dropping the 75kwh naming for the standard range because it is in fact a 100kwh software limited battery. He continued, Tesla wanted to use fewer cells in the standard range battery but this was a easier/cheaper solution. There are a plethora of articles and forum post discussing this. I will send an email to my Delivery assistant person to get a conformation.

That article was back in January 2019. I know that’s not very long ago but the refresh S and X were announced April 23, 2019.

The Longest-Range Electric Vehicle Now Goes Even Farther Although it’s not specified but the software limited battery pack isn’t mentioned either. The new SR is a 75D battery.

using the vin decoder candy_sr mentioned in different posting

standard range has BTX5 75 kWh battery pack
long range has BTX6 100 kWh battery pack

You can also just look under the front right fender and look at the battery label - it's a 75
