Ryzen processors reduce the range of updated Tesla electric vehicles

As you know, some Tesla cars have already switched to AMD Ryzen processors. And data appeared on the Web that this affected the range of electric vehicles.

According to Teslascope, cars with new processors have less range than versions with older ones. Recall that earlier Tesla used the Intel Atom CPU.

In fact, Tesla itself initially spoke about the changes.

We've updated Model 3 vehicles to optimize the touch screen experience with our new car computer. This hardware change requires more power, resulting in a marginally reduced range. Your Model 3 now has a range of 602 kilometers (WLTP), 22 kilometers less than originally reported

True, apparently, only buyers from Australia received such a message when placing an order, where the legislation regarding informing consumers is somewhat tougher. In general, official WLTP range adjustments range from 1.7% to 3.5% depending on the model and wheel diameter. The Model Y has a longer range, but this is explained by a more capacious battery.
