Range upgrade on Model S?

My 2018 S, 100D has a capacity of 335 (charges to about 315)...Noticed new S's show 370 range wondering if Tesla might increase range via software to compensate for a lack of Supercharger locations on I-40 through Arkansas. To quote a
rather (in)famous person, "I'm just saying..." Seriously, any info re: range update possibilities for existing owners would be appreciated.

The new “Raven” Model S introduced in May has a new front motor resulting in 10% increased efficiency and range (along with new revision battery pack and new suspension) . Unfortunately there’s no retrofit available for older Model S to get the new hardware.

Remember, you can always drive slower to get more range though. ;)

Thanks for the info update. I'll just continue to struggle on driving the best car in the world! And, hope Tesla will locate a SC on I-40 West Arkansas in the near future.
