I’m due to swap my 69 MP3- for a LR next month (company car) and so dipped back on to the forums. There I stumbled across the Tesla motor club thread which had a long (69 page) thread on the subject of Panasonic V LG batteries. If I understand the gist of that thread, and I admit I only skim read it, Tesla are no longer using LG batteries in Europe as of Q2 (except to the UK). I got the distinct impression that this was due to some shortcomings in the LG battery. In particular slower charge speeds and a lower capacity (75Kwh v 82Kwh). There appeared to be some relief expressed on that forum that Tesla had dropped the LG across Europe and an expectation that in due course the LR would as a consequence of the larger capacity of the Panasonic battery be given a larger EPA/WLTP rating. I was just surprised how little attention this subject seems to have attracted from UK customers. It felt a bit like we were getting the cast offs if I’m honest.
On a slight tangent. Has anyone with a newish LR model 3 seen the 100% SOC that matched the EPA rating 353 miles ?
