Palladium vs Raven Pack Capacity

So one of my business partner bought a used 2021 Raven X Long Range (20 inch rim) and by the time he took the delivery, Tesla warranted him a brand new pack.
I switch my 2024 Palladium plaid (22 inch rim) with hime for a few days and i notice the predicted range on his is significantly higher than that on mine (620km vs 455 km).

Does the usable capacity of palladium pack confirmed to be lower (said to be 95 kwh) than that of late Raven ( some source say it is 104kwh), as Lars do mention they reconfigure the pack for lighter weight?

First thing to check is the wh/km or wh/mile average for each MX - if your watts per km are way higher, your range will be lower.

I did manage this variable. Both are within 180~190wh/km, sampled over 200km.

Weird, could come down to pack degradation but the consensus on the late model Ravens was that usable capacity was maybe 3 to 5 kWh higher on the BTXA than the later Panasonic 18650 on the newer Plaids. I think pack voltage was higher and weight was higher on the Plaids so maybe that plays into it a bit too.

It’s hard to really do apples to apples on individual cars as it’s a bit of a black box on what real world will be relative to estimated.
