Model X Raven Range Boost w/ Avatar Displaying Wrong?

[HandsomeHenry]

So I have a MX raven picked up Dec. 19. My previous max range was 328 miles. I bought after market wheels 22s and asked the dealer to change my avatar to reflect the black wheels instead of the 20 inch slips. Now my max range after updating this morning to 2020.8.1 is only 323 miles. Thats odd right? even with the original wheels w/ the correct avatar it should still be 328.
Anyone know whats going on?

Probably just normal 1st year batter degradation. Mine from Dec 19 now shows 324 max. Sometimes 325.

I got the 2020.8.1 update. I dont remember getting the 2020.4.11 update. Not sure if you have to have the previous to be able to jump to the .8.1

On 22“ wheels, the range is less than on 20“. The reason being that 22“ tires are often „sportier“ due to a softer, grippier compound which means more rolling-resistance which leads to a reduction in range.

Also, as aaarsinic wrote, new batteries lose a bit of range during the first few months while it „breaks in“. Then it levels off and it will take years to slooooowly lose range. It‘s normal for this type of battery technology. Laptops and Phone batteries do the same thing, we just don‘t notice it as the „loss“ is so tiny in the beginning.

Also, battery temperature has a significant effect on range as well. During spring and summer, the range indicator will creep up as temperatures increase, only to drop again in fall and winter. Repeat each year.

I thought the 2020.4.11 gave everyone an epa range of 351?

The range penalty for 22 inch wheels is listed as 10-20%. So with the range increase and addition of 22 inch wheels your new mileage sounds about right.

Mine (delivered 3/3/2020 with 2019.35.108) did not give me the extra range until the 2020.8.1 update yesterday (3/7/20). 2020.4.11 which was installed 3/5/20 did not give me the boost.

No matter what software you have, the larger type wheel size, the lower range you will have. If your stay on 20”, you will have 328 or the recent 351.

You may already know this but you can change your wheel settings yourself under settings - service - wheel configuration. I assume making changes here will alter the max range that the car displays. I got my wheels powder coated black so I changed them to black in the settings just my car would look more awesome in the app and on the display.

To my knowledge it does NOT change rates range based off wheel selection.

Nuance: not if you stay within the same size. If you change from 20 to 22" then the Range will decrease somewhat (which is logical).

Are you sure? I have switched between 20 and 22 twice now and rated range has never changed.

I should be clear though I certainly take a range hit with 22s but the display still gives the same miles as it does with 20s. It just decreases quicker obviously.

Not so sure now. In my old 2014 S85, when I Switched from Winter 19" to summer 21" i swear I saw a change in range. As I only have 20" on my X (will never buy 22") i cannot verify. Maybe i'm wrong.
