Nobody noticed the range bump?

[Radzer0]

So model 3 and model y got a bump on the website. Wish they said what made the bump but 10miles or so is better than nothing.

More than just range. New wheels as well and center console. Likely range bump because it's getting the Model Ys heat pump. EDIT: I didn't notice that Y also got a range bump. Too bad Model Y didn't get new console yet.

my LR MY got a de-bump. Down to 296 this week

*sigh* haven’t even got my car home yet (getting PPF right now)... I wonder if recent built models will get a software bump. Mine was built October 2nd...

Does it have a 2021 vin?

Interestingly on the Model 3 page, it seems that auto dimming mirrors have returned. Had that on my 3, would love it if the mirrors made it to the Y....and there was a way to add it.

It’s already been confirmed no heat pump on initial run of 2021 model 3.

Maybe it’s that 5% improvement in the battery cells coming into play. We can only hope. Atleast it means those of us who waited for the battery day stuff didn’t completely miss out on something new battery related.

Nope, I’m one of the last 2020s... like 59377 or something.

Just noticed the performance doesn't give an ETA. I wonder if they are having issues with parts for it?

 

[Gizmotoy]

Performance was 291 before and now up to 303? Pretty decent bump. I wonder if it's software or hardware based.

panasonic said in sept they were about to roll out energy density increases to the current cells. That’s what I’m guessing we’re seeing.

Confirmed by who?

Looks like it's hardware related. So current owners probably won't see a bump.

Tesla boosts Model Y range - Electrek

 

[NY_Rob]

So, according to the Electrek article 2021 VIN's get the range bump... sweet!

 

[jimmym1981]

Interesting what this "efficiency package" is all about.

 

[azjohn]

Model X got a nice bump too

 

[Radzer0]

Confirmed by who?

Forgot who it was on YouTube but a neighbor picked up a 2021 model 3 from the factory Wednesday and they let him pull the frunk out. Spot is there but heat pump wasn’t.

Panasonic boosts energy density, trims cobalt in new 2170 battery cell for Tesla – TechCrunch

 

[Lounanne]

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

 

[MrTuna]

Could it be weight savings from the new megacasting? same batteries?
