G'day Brains Trust,
I may finally be ready to "upgrade" from my 2015 MS to a newer one, and I am settling in on a Raven Long Range model that captured some good updates such as Adaptive suspension and more efficient, permanent magnet front motor.
However, I am finding it a bit confusing to identify what differences there may have been even among the Long Range across 2019/2020.
Specifically, some minor tweaks came out in the later timeframe (mid-2020?) that caused the Long Range to add a "Plus" in some markets. The Tesla release on it made it appear as really minor upgrades, but were there notable impacts on the real-world range? When precisely did these come out? Listings in Australia never added the Plus, so it is difficult to tell.
One September 2019 example I am looking at has a long-distance kWh/km consumption 10% higher than a mid-2020 example. Is the latter typical of Plus improvements or just driving habits?
I note, too, that while my vehicle range display has both "rated" (EPA?) and "typical" (more accurate) - these choices appear to have disappeared in these models. Is the default range in the display now only typical or rated? Fairly accurate?
Any assistance, including cut-in months for any changes, would be most appreciated!
And if you have misgivings about purchasing a Raven Long Range, please do tell!
