Nobody really knows yet as few if any LR+ cars have been delivered, but there’s speculation that a good chunk of the additional range is due to the new aero-friendly Tempest wheels, and Musk has said prior Raven cars will get “software updates” to enable some of the additional range.Can anyone help me understand what the difference is between the LR+ and the LR model? Seems like the hardware is identical. Is it just software that squeezes the extra 17 miles of range from the batteries? Any other differences? Thanks! Rick

I'm starting to be convinced that the extra $7k cost to go with the 2020 LR model may be smart. While I don't plan on doing many road trips, the extra range will always be a plus for this car, and it does get extremely cold here in Nebraska, which will reduce the range dramatically.
I actually thought the blue color (that's the color of the 2020 LR model available) would be my preferred color until I saw the Midnight Silver Metallic color. My wife went with the Midnight Silver Metallic for her new Model 3, so I'm starting to see the advantage of having two different colors for our Teslae also... I'm starting to see the advantage of the white interior also (very modern and uniquely Tesla).
I'd take the 2020, sounds like a better deal to me. LR+ also has more horses and torque, resulting in faster acceleration. it'll also resale better because of the new model year - while MYs are not really relevant to Teslas it is still somehow a selling point in the used car market.
Okay, I've officially placed the order for the 2020 LR Model S! Thanks to everyone for their great advice/thoughts!
I'm going to end up paying $78,490 for the car (which includes the destination charge). I feel that this is a solid deal, especially when I plugged in a custom order for an identical 2020 LR+ model and came up with a total price of $84,190. My discount will be $5800, and I actually prefer the silver wheels on my LR model to the new Tempest wheels that are included.
I will be picking up my new Model S tomorrow at lunch! Can't wait! Now I need to read all the posts talking about what to look for when I pick up the car! Should be a fun ride back to Omaha (200 miles)!
