2019 Model 3 SR+ w/ FSD
This is one weird thing about Tesla. They're always f*cking with the software and the configurations, so it's hard to compare one to the next. They don't follow the traditional model year paradigm. They just sort of update and change things whenever they feel like it.
Sounds like with the Model S/X they actually made a pretty major battery change a few months back and then just last week flipped the switch to turn it on. So people who bought just before the change got screwed and people who bought just after got a free upgrade they didn't even know was coming.
This could happen with the 3 as well. Some hackers found evidence of slightly larger and smaller batteries listed in the firmware. No one really knows if those batteries are actually out there in the world already or if they're in the firmware for some future release. If you bought your 3 recently you might have a bigger pack then you think and Tesla could flip a switch and you'll magically have more range.
I bet I’ll be able to flip the switch by paying $5000
