It’s why the video posted is wrong (and don’t get me started on rubbish YouTube videos that cause more harm than good), the range you see is based on the EPA figures which are increasingly pessimistic, what you’ve been told by Tesla is the WLTP figure which is optimistic, but a figure they have to use by law in the uk, both are just figures from the respective standardised test cycles. The real world range is likely to be different again, just like you may have bought a car in the past that was claimed to do 50mpg but could only do. 45mpg.

He said that the displayed range was WLTP….I’m pretty sure it’s EPA

It is based on EPA as far as I know. If this guy is right it means Tesla have lost 15% or so of the battery on lots of cars as people expect it to show the WLTP figure, or he’s wrong and the EPA is used and there aren’t lots of cars with faulty batteries. I know where my money would be
