Reading through the Reddit, the latest comments said Tesla rates the SR and SR+ as the same weight, with the medium range heavier, and the long range heavier still.

If one of the models has software locked range, then that's the one to get, as the battery will wear slower than the others. You'll eventually get the extra range via normal degradation, not to mention the the ability to DCFC at a higher rate than would have been possible with a lower capacity battery.

There'd be potential for future software upgrades, such as more power, more range, or quicker charging.
