Nobody noticed the range bump?

[DanDi58]

I am ordering my MY in January. I hope it includes the new console by then. I'm not a fan of the piano black and really like the way the console cover opens on the new one. Both Model Y's I've been in, neither console door would lock closed.

I went from 310 to 318 miles maximum range after the update.

Got the 40.8 update this afternoon. Decide to do a 100% charge to see what my max range would show. Looks like 326! Gotta love updates like this!

My max range increased from 295 to 301 miles due to the update. I think that I had a max range of 315 for about two months and then it quickly dropped down to around 300 miles.

Only charged to 100% once. Any other way to test?

I don't drive that much right now and haven't been bothered to track my range. I generally charge to ~70%, drive for a few days until I'm in the 50s, and then recharge.

The extra 10 miles will be nice for long road trips.

just move the slider in app to 100% and it will show miles on right corner. No need to charge it to 100

I believe the acceleration boost is .1 seconds faster now too. 4.8s down to 4.2s (from 4.3s)

I cant find anyone explaining this. I tried to post on fb model y page and admin took to down twice saying it is talked about too much. I scanned the page and could find nothing. Nothing on internet, nothing on You Tube. Just people saying, "yeah, they noticed ", but no explanation. wtf?!

It’s just a software bump. If you purchase the $2,000 acceleration boost via the app (only for Long Range AWD) you’ll be able to do 0 to 60 mph in 4.2 seconds and it used to be listed as 4.3 seconds for that boost.

calculate it using the percentage mode. If you’re at 50% and you change it to miles and it says 163; then 100% is 326.

Calculate this way: (CURRENT MILEAGE divided by CURRENT PERCENTAGE times 100 ) = FULL MILEAGE at 100%

I know this can be annoying but I’m a CPA so it’s second nature to me

Your clients consult you about range?

I meant calculations lol.

I got 6 extra miles on a partial charge.

As am I. Prior to ordering my MY last month I was researching whether I could either have my sister who lives in NJ order it or register it jointly with my mother who also lives in NJ and no longer has a driver's license and subsequently transfer the registration to myself in NY as a gift in order to save $7,500 ($3,000 higher state EV rebate and $4,500 sales tax savings), which is a significant savings. I later learned that you need to remain in NJ for 2 years to keep the full $5K rebate, and I also considered that the lemon laws in NY are more favorable than in NJ and decided the risk was greater than the reward.

I get 10 more miles of range after update.
