Dont wish to burst a bubble so if you believe a Tesla staff member that is your prerogotive but just for your information the 340 listed by Tesla in Europe is the estimated WLTP Range not the true range. WLTP is the Worldwide Harmonised Light Vehicle Test Procedure (WLTP) laboratory test used to measure estimated range and because it is always higher then the true range, Tesla and many manufacturers (nearly all) use this figure in their vehicle ads. In USA it is illegal to to advertise WLTP as its misleading hence all manufacturers advertise the true EPA range. As such, the same M3P advertised with WLTP of 340 is advertised with estimate true range of 315 miles. Simply look on Tesla site and on top right hand corner change UK to USA to see the true range. One should not expect that Davide or any staff at Tesla to tell anyone that the AMD Ryzen uses substantially more power than previous Intel, that is not good marketing or selling technique and in fact they would be fired on the spot.I've an M3P on order - due for collection from Manchester March 14.
A helpful chap at Tesla Manchester emailed me the attached image, from what I understand 2170L are the latest Panasonic made cells so the battery will be the 82kWh model. Range is shown as 567km = 352m (same as 2021 spec.).
I'd read that the new Ryzen consumed more energy so was concerned with the range showing the same as a 2021 the car would have the Atom processor. A quick web chat with the infamous Davide has put my mind at rest - my car has the Ryzen processors and new 15v low voltage battery - all good news.
Tesla now show a range of 340m for the 2022 M3P - I presume they will be fitting the 79kWh LG battery in future deliveries and I've dropped lucky with a 2022 spec. car and the slightly larger battery.
