My understanding was that changing the wheel size on the service menu affects the displayed rated range. On my 2019 SR+, there is no change in rated range when I change the wheel size...so what gives?
Wheel size setting vs rated range

It's only for 2020 Performance vehicles so far. And probably it will remain limited to those vehicles, since that's the only situation where there is a specific EPA result callout based on wheel size.
It would be cool for them to adjust all vehicles (since it would align better with the trip planner - when you choose a different wheel configuration it DOES impact the trip planner, since it makes that assertion when you change wheel configuration - larger wheels are assumed to be less efficient), but I doubt they will adjust the actual displayed rated range to be closer to "reality."
Per Elon, we know the 19" wheels have about 10% less range than the 18" due mostly to rolling resistance of the tires.
Ah, that makes sense. Man, all the different iterations and now model year differences must be a real bear for the software development team to keep track of.
