Standard Range 'downgrade'

[ianatoly]

I just received the promised firmware update on my model 3. Here is a diff from vehicle info json.
Note the new removal of perf_config, and addition of use_range_badging parameters.

did you see any feature lose and range lose from 240 to 220 mile for 100% charge?

 

[richtrav]

Are you sure it's not just the latest firmware? I bought mine as an SR and received a new firmware notice yesterday but it was just a regular update.

 

[acpTLA]

what is your new firmware level?

 

[garu]

what is your new firmware level?

That's the update Tesla pushed to me yesterday, it didn't do any downgrading (at least mine didn't), the car still says SR+. Tesla may want to have an upgrade path in place before pushing out the locked firmware.

 

[Shirt4878]

Same here: I just went from 2019.16.1.3 to 2019.20.2.1 and my car is still showing as an SR+ even though I bought the SR

Here is a diff from vehicle info json

What's the URL for vehicle info ?

Has anyone “successfully” downgraded by updating firmware? I’ve been holding the updates for weeks just want to see some feedback from whoever downgraded successfully.

"has_ludicrous_mode": false

What a tease. No model 3 has ludicrous...

I'm now on version 2019.24.4 and my is still showing as an SR+

 

[ksoon]

I'm still waiting for the software downgrade.

It's been 2 months now since I received the notice, and 3 months since my last software update to 2019.12.1.2 5c87371.

 

[richtrav]

Heck I'm waiting for the upgrade - and mine is still listed as an SR+. I mainly want to get autopilot, and I'm afraid it'll end up costing me more if I buy it now standalone rather than bundled with the SR+ upgrade package

Isn’t AP ~$3000? How much did they charge you for the SR to SR+?

 

[richtrav]

I bought it back in April when they were taking SR+ cars and selling them as SRs without actually downgrading them. At the time SR+ didn't include autopilot.
