Looks like it. So we may be seeing around 440mi range w/ 19"s?

That puts the 19” wheels with a range around 465, based on the current 350/390 split in the configurator.
Anyone know if these stickers change range depending on the wheel options?

Will 465 be good enough for everyone? I was hoping for over 475, prefer over 480.

Given 250kW charging AND higher efficiency, charging miles per hour will be significantly more than current S.

jeez, if that's accurate why do they even sell those stupid larger rims? worse range, worse acceleration, worse handling, worse comfort. And they cost more. Hard to imagine a dumber "upgrade".

Thanks, I think Elon would dig it too,,,since he is so keen into educating his children, and those around him. I could do ZERO programming, but I've given it some thought and I would freely do what I could to further the idea...I mean we all can't live on Mars.

Anyone get into this clubhouse? Apparently Sawyer is spilling some beans about stuff included and not included in the event tonight

We’ll know the range soon enough. I do believe it’ll be different for the smaller wheels, but didn’t find good evidence in a 2 minute search. [edit: I may well be wrong here; different by trim, definitely, but maybe not by wheel]
And for your pregaming pleasure:

I don't believe they do. I think the EPA rating is only displayed for the most efficient wheel... I'd love to be wrong, however.

TESLA Model S Plaid (TEST) Monroney sticker photographed at Fremont today:
TECHNICAL:
120 MPGe EPA rating appears to be with the optional 21" wheels (see sticker above). Range is 405 miles for Plaid S with the larger wheels.
Not bad for the best car in the world!
Cheers!
TECHNICAL:
- Tri motor all-wheel drive
- Three phase, six pole, internal permanent magnet motors (front)
- Dual, independent, three phase, six pole, internal permanent magnet motors (rear)
- Dual Drive inverters with adaptive regenerative braking system
- Lithium-ion battery high voltage battery
- Mobile charging kit with 120 volt and J1772 adapter

You guys are forgetting Elon has another vehicle he can surprise us with
Still confused as to why there’s like 3-4 vehicles under covers with other refreshed S’s all around. Do we know if the ones not under covers are LR or Plaid?
I know everyone is focused on the Plaid reveal, but here’s some recent info: Roadtripping across MT, ND, MN and seeing model Y’s everywhere. This is/will be the bestselling EV ever. Talked to Tesla Energy tech and MY has capability to charge at 350 KW, just waiting for V4 SCs. Also, a friend in the Midwest just cross-shopped the MY and Mach-e, finally ordering MY. Delivery is possibly EOQ or, if not, then September!
Finally, my reading between the lines: Tesla has already produced hundreds, if not thousands, of Model Y’s with 4680 batteries, various chemistries, and is testing them as company service vehicles to verify operational characteristics. This tech is cheaper to produce and will eventually be in ALL Tesla vehicles, as the volume production increases. The exact chemistry is continuously changing/improving, optimized for vehicle models, PowerWalls, and MegaPaks, so don’t bother trying to follow because it’s constantly changing/optimizing. Tesla is also likely slowly closing out old contracts on 18650 and 2170 formats, eventually switching everything to the cheaper 4680 format. Finally, I don’t know anything, Tesla-specific, it’s all just supposition based on years of experience in manufacturing and R&D.
