New Tesla Standard Range Battery upgrade-able?

[Mase408]

A Tesla OA yesterday told me that the new standard range battery will be able upgrade-able to Long Range in the future at some cost. He stated the standard range is software-limited and that it has the same size battery as long range. From all the forums and online posts i have read, i did not see this mentioned anywhere. Is this true?

There is no way that's true. The SR is upgradable to SR+ tho

Thanks. I thought so. Do you know what the estimated SR+ range miles you would get?

SR+ is applicable to Model 3 only.

Model X has two battery options. Standard or Long Range. These are both the same battery in the Model X

Tesla may have the capability to, sometime in the future, engage the remaining capability, turning the Standard range into Long Range.

Really sorry for the confusion, I thought I was in the Model 3 forum. Disregard what I said!

I'm still seeing only Long Range and Performance as options, both using the 100 kWh pack.

Once Tesla gives you the ordering option, will have a better idea of what they are offering.

Software limited make little economic sense in general - Tesla pays full price but only gets a portion of the price from you.

They've done it from time to time to drive demand, and when they were obligated to deliver a configuration that they didn't think was worth putting money into a unique design for.

this can be confirmed if someone takes delivery of a standard range one and look at the battery label near the passenger front wheel.

if its true, it will show its a 100 pack

Thanks for confirming. Good to know.
I believe they have already depleted the 75kw batteries and are only using 100kw. But if Tesla was to provide an upgrade software in the future, i expect it would be close to $10K or so (?).

No, they’re still using 75 kWh battery stock for the SR Model X and S. I was at a showroom a couple of weeks ago and check the labels on a few SR cars they had in inventory.
