Model Y range changed?

I guess they followed Munro's advise on getting rid of extra bolts.
The wheels definitely should lead to slightly different range. I was surprised it wasn't done earlier.
I just posted about the range/ 0-60 updates to the M3/MY here: Master Thread: Updated Range and 0-60 times for Model 3 and Y
maybe, but then range plunges with all the wheel jerking and aggressive accelerations and brakings, not to mention all the hard thinkings from FSD computer stuck at every intersection.Now the front page has new ranges too. Wasn't so 10 minutes ago...
Also, the 5 and 7 seat configurations change the range now by 4 miles.
Edit: I wonder if the FSD should affect the max range when the car can drive without a driver.
Are you speaking from experience? I don't have FSD yet but was watching some videos yesterday and it seems the new settings (Chill, Average, Assertive) can really damp down the hard stops and starts, as well as the wheel 'jerking'... Seems much smoother on all the settings and is getting better.

I assume this reflects the projected EPA mileage of a 3Q22 car (because that's when you will get a car ordered now). Perhaps there are some weight savings due to the cast front end and other refinements that increase the total range by 1%.

It does; the data that Tesla submitted to the EPA shows a difference in range when changing from the 19" Gemini wheels to the 20" Induction wheels and 21" Uberturbine wheels. The range loss increases at higher speeds.
The lower range estimate of 318 miles with the 20" Induction wheels versus 330 miles for the 19" Gemini wheels is ~3.6% less. This percentage drop in range falls at the far left of the chart when driving at 55 MPH although the dyno test data submitted to the EPA was, as far as I am aware, for ~45 MPH.
Range loss with the different wheel options
Several reports on Twitter and the web say that the small change in range for the M3 and MY shown on the website, the name change for the base model (formerly Standard Range+), and the change in VIN numbers to N for 2022 model year are all effective on cars made on or after November 1st.

I started at EPA 316, and for less than a week I was at 326 after the firmware update, and have hovered around 300 miles at full charge. VIN 9xxx, June 2020 build. Currently at 17K miles, and I'd say that my max range was always around 315 when new. I look at it as losing 15 miles of range at full charge, with about 30% of my total charging since new has been at Superchargers, I stay charged at 80% daily on a 20A charger at home, and charge to 100% before all long 165-175 mile one-way trips, which is about once a month over 18 months. Not too bad, as I never had the larger 82kWh battery. If would have started at 326/330 miles at full charge when new (or for more than the short week it ever showed that much), I would be bummed. I've tried to recoup my miles at full charge by following many outlined procedures in this forum and on the web, but really only was able to pull back around 5-7 miles to my 100% charge range. With the extra buffer, it is more likely that the 82kWh battery can sustain the 100% charge estimated range for longer than the previous battery.
