2025 Flash = 123kw battery, 2024 Flash = 131kw battery, same range?

[user-name-required]

Minor one here, not sure if its been discussed.

But, the 2025 flash trim is showing as a 123kw usable battery and up to 515kms range (~320-322 miles), and the 2024 I bought has a 131kwh usable battery and the same posted range.

Did they actually get 9.4% more efficient and I am missing something here, or?

Not the same range
2024 is rated at 320 miles
2025 is rated at 300 miles
a 9.4ish% difference

quite a shame imho

The 2025 sales info says 483km.

The old media release was pre battery change and it said 515km.

Nope as EPA range is 300 miles. Keep in mind the smaller pack saves several hundred pounds and the motors produce slightly less power.

That said, the build date of the 2025 Flash is important. I own a 2025 Flash with the 131kWh useable battery.

Lots of discussion. See this thread for instance.
