Hmmmmm.....I'm pretty sure my build date was Aug 22/18, so within the window listed here....but also I've been in the service centre a few times so you would think if I was affected that they would have already flagged my vin? It says that there is a vin/bulletin tracker or that my customer vehicle profile would call this out....so I assume since my 'my tesla' account lists nothing about this I shouldn't be concerned...wondering if I should shoot this over to my service guy anyway for his input.

Jack, how do you find these things? Do you just lurk on the nhtsa website looking for bulletins?
If you did the vin checker and nothing came up, what would a service appointment accomplish? If your vin was affected it would show there.
There are articles suggesting Tesla plans another OTA power bump (and the range bump to the existing SR+ cars):
That's pretty cool. It would be the second power bump in a little over a year. Though I'd gladly pay a few $k for a power bump to unlock performance mode on my AWD
My understanding is the range bump is only for SR and SR+ much like the LR RWD got a "range bump" a while back.On the 'range bump', I'm calling a bit of snake oil on this one. Many of us are currently showing a 100% range (long range battery) of ~ 480 km...so getting 'back' 15 miles and showing 500 km again doesn't feel so great....but I'll be happy again with more power!
Right....I initially thought that before clicking on the article you linked, but then I read it so fast I missed that the quote from Elon was the same one from the RWD range bump, but now I see you're right. Either way, the range to me is just playing with the 'default efficiency' they use for calculations from pack capacity. More power is real at every push of the pedal, and I never use the whole battery between charges anyway so I'm happier with more power

Just went to SC to inquire as our build is in the same range. SC is aware there is/might be an issue & so far not seen any "specific" service bulletins. However when they looked up our TM 3 via vin #, there were 2 items that were listed. One was the change of charge port from last winter which we had not "pushed" as we winter our car in a garage & handout seen the issue. We are scheduled to change that this week.Hmmmmm.....I'm pretty sure my build date was Aug 22/18, so within the window listed here....but also I've been in the service centre a few times so you would think if I was affected that they would have already flagged my vin?

Mine is an August 2019 build and I am getting 280, so I would guess yes it's normal. But I a little disappointed they my car is already showing 30km less range at 80%
Yes indeed it is disappointing have you charged your car up to 100% and checked the range?
Yes I've done it twice and got 359 each time. I also logged a ticket with Tesla support and they just gave instructions to run down the battery to 20% and charge to 100% in order to reset. That did not work.
