Oops, updated now! (I was looking at your post where you quoted me and was thinking “Yes, that looks right” before I noticed you had corrected them!)

This is the video you're referring to. He claims at the end that it can do 460-480kms in good conditions. I concede that ABRP is too conservative based on my real world, but I wouldn't be game to try a 460km run.
only limited by charger availability. If you had options close together it wouldn't be so risky.
As in options beyond the 400km mark so that I could bail out of the 460km? Yes, I agree. Anybody got a route in mind where this could be tested?
460km is 130wh/km, which I've managed to get running 100km/h flat highways in 37c temps. Bjorn helps me overcome my range anxiety.
Thanks for the video. Gives me a sense of security in the new LFP batteries performing very well here in Oz considering our more temperate climate. I have been procrastinating as to whether I should change my order to a LR but the more research I do the more I am leaning to the RWD standard with LFP. Hopefully as delivery of the 'new' 2022 model with the 'lower performing' motor with hairpin winding we will see more relevant real world range. I will be more than happy if I can roll into my driveway after doing 400km with 40-50km range left on the clock.
It should be noted that the car tested in the video had different wheels and also winter tyres which could have affected range.

Thanks, not only did I mix up the numbers, I forgot to paste the video URL in my original comment! *facepalm*
I went through the same dilemma, should I have ordered the LR? I've never ordered the slowest model before, should I change?
The ride on the 18" wheels was the main reason that I stuck with SR+, and since getting it I haven't regretted my decision nor felt like I wanted better performance.
That is really impressive, the 2022 RWD really is an amazing car. Kudos to Tesla.
I'm really curious to see how it goes when I eventually drive Sydney - Canberra on a typical winters day. If that video is anything to go by, you won't need to make a charging stop at all.
Tesla Supercharger Tuggerah to Tesla Supercharger Coffs Harbour is 446km and essentially no net elevation change, with an Evie charging station at Macksville for chickening out 60km short of Coffs (and a Chargefox one at the southern end of Coffs, in case you get twitchy right at the end!).

Every time I see one of Bjorn's videos on this car, it feels like I delayed ordering until just the right time!
If you're considering getting a ceramic coat, then here's some good tips on how to look after it straight away.
Prior to watching this, it was clear that I had no sense of just how much work a good wrap requires.
