Interesting with the range drop for most people with V10 they bumped up SR+ from 386 to 402km.

And increased the price to $55990

LR shows 499 km (why not 500 km ?), and comes with grey performance wheels!

Not sure how this will comply with Federal rebate rules now...

EDIT: Oh, it still does include the transport fees, so it's really 54 600$...

May be a moot point after Monday.

My SR+ has been consistently beating the rated range! - Jesse

Since the day I got mine it’s been no higher than 375kms for a full charge. So this 402km is a bit of a joke. A brand new one can’t get over 375! Plus I’ve got no where near that range and have constant regen dots unless im below 50%. Totally different experience from my LR.

My sr+ is less than 60 days old and 359km on a full charge. It seems the new range might be a different physical battery as the delivery is 5-8 weeks now. If that's the case, a software update wouldn't help us.

Has anyone got a bump on their mileage as of today?

My regular setting is to charge up to 90%, and it has always been up to 330km since delivery. I know it's a bit lower than the 386*0.9=347 I was supposed to get, but I always figured it's the way I drive it.

Just woke up today and the same charging to 90% now shows at 341km. I don't think the way I drive it has changed in any meaningful way enough to justify the bump. If anything, the recent temperature drop in YVR would warrant a lower mileage.

Tesla website does state that's the "EPA est."... Not the same thing we see in the car. Might just be the EPA estimate that changed...

EPA = Elon's Personal Assistant. Maybe he got a new assistant who does math differently than the last one.

My money is on they just factored in the slightly better efficiency of the SR+ due to its lighter weight. Same as what they did when they 'updated' the range on the LR RWD....well, not really the same in that case because that improvement was to reflect the single motor configuration being more efficient than the dual motor, but the SR+ has a few hundred lbs/kg less in battery weight, so for sure would have a different wh/km rating than a LR RWD (ie, it should be more efficient).

If you ask me, its all marketing gobledy-gook..... By that I mean, the 'say' 402 km, but that's under ideal conditions and doesn't factor in phantom losses, so if you drive 10 km/day and charge once every 2 weeks you will lose 1/3 of your 'range' to phantom losses....
