I forgot to add that at the start, it reported a range of 346 Ideal Miles.

Thanks Dave, very interesting!
Does anyone know if the "kWhR" figure of 78.63 shown on the VDS screen in Dave's post is the usable figure or the absolute total capacity of the battery? Given the "R80" badge, I assume the latter.

I believe that it's simply an algorithmic attempt to quantify the energy currently stored in the battery.
I just took these pictures below. I've been out on errands this morning since my Roadster had Std Mode charged earlier, at 2:00am.

The fact that it showed a 78.63kWh value after a Range Mode charge is, I think, a good confirmation of the validity of the "R80" badging, but that's all I'm taking away from it.

They are useful to rub in the noses of the petrolheads. Every extra mile on the range is another tiny mind blown

Way more than enough range for me!

Why hasn't the R80 hit the news/blog sites yet? It seems like a pretty big deal to have a 350 mile EV on the market that nobody knows about.

^ ....because its old news and was a sensation almost a year ago:
400 miles roadster - Google Search
400 miles roadster - Google Search
Quite a few stories claiming the P100D is the first EV to go over 300 miles.
The pictures from here have been useful to put them right

We see significantly improvement in 0-60 miles time for the model S with battery upgrades of just a 11%
Did anybody already experienced the same when getting the R80 battery for the roadster? I can imagine that voltage drops less when making a 0-60 Sprint with the new pack and more then compensating the additional weight results in decreasing the dragstrip time?

I know for sure that you're 0-60 times will be more consistent and hold longer now that the ESS is larger for the reason it takes longer for the voltage to drop. I'd also presume we'd get a slight improvement in the sprint times as well unless Tesla is limiting that to be easy on the older electronics, but that's a guess.
One good experiment is to use the g-force / acceleration meter in the Roadster's VDS screen. A benchmark before and after the 3.0 install with a couple of good sprints on the same leg of road would be a good test.

Great idea, but does the VDS screen have enough resolution to display such a small change (one that's not felt already)? Will it display the difference between a regular and Sport model? I think the acceleration is in the logs, however, so the VMSParser would show it. Not on my regular PC right now, so I can't check.

I wonder if the larger pack would help 0-100 times more than 0-60. Up to 60 you should still be below the base speed of the motor where voltage sag should not have much effect. Above base motor speed pack voltage drop would become more of an issue.
I did this when I picked it up. IIRC, it showed 0.68g both before and after the upgrade. My bum-o-meter didn't feel any difference either.

So got call today from Rockville and sched for Oct 6. Ordered Sept 8. They say still a number of weeks for parts to get there they just wanted to book the appointment. Is there any consensus on best placement for the badge (Sport)? I did not see any pics. I'll record some numbers but not sure how to get weight simply.

Now that some people have had the upgraded cars a short while, can anyone comment on the changes to the handling, especially if you have had the opportunity to push the car a bit on a twisty road?
No change in handling that I can detect. Which does not mean that someone else could not detect a change in handling.
