RWD MY that I demoed the other day was not LFP. Or at least the charging screen seemed to indicate that it was not LFP. From what I've read, no delivered MY RWD (USA) have the 100% recommended charge screen which would indicate LFP.

Here some RWD observations for those interested. I just took an overnight demo drive with a RWD MY with MFG date of 10/25/23. I own a 22 RWD M3. It had functioning fog lights but no way to control them in the menus, which I thought was probably a MFG mistake. Drove like any other MY just...

I just hit one year with my 2022 LFP. 8500 miles driven and 262 mi at 100%. Originally said 273 mi has shown 262 mi consistently after the 6 month mark. I have not charged at any particular schedule. I get free charging at work so I mostly just charge to 100% whenever I go in. I will use...

They will probably say nothing unless you are audited, which is unlikely.

You don’t qualify. I also purchased in august. https://www.irs.gov/credits-deductions/credits-for-new-electric-vehicles-purchased-in-2022-or-before

I have been battling driver's window noise on my 2022 M3 for months now. The window sounded cracked at any speed over 40 MPH. In fact, cracking the window at that speed made no difference in the sound. A windy day would push air through the seal. I went to Tesla service 4 times for...

2022 RWD: My footwell lights were randomly on this morning. I was in the garage and I noticed them being on when I entered the car. I have never seen them before. I updated to latest software a couple of days ago and wondered if it was a stealth upgrade. Probably some glitch in the matrix...

Can you provide more info (link) on the flat weather stripping? I have air coming in about 4" down the b-pillar from the corner "triangle" area. The seal isn't well supported by the car until it gets further down the b-pillar. thanks

Isn’t 1508524-00-A the assembly? Module+ bracket

Mine was Tyco as well

I’m sure the experience is highly location dependent. My car was outside with my name on it. I went inside and there was someone who walked me out to look at the car. I went over the exterior/interior as long as I wanted and then went back inside. I signed some dmv papers and handed over...

I received a check for $135 yesterday from Tesla with excess dmv fees in the memo line. No other explanation included. I guess the accounting bots are hard at work.

Before ordering the M3, my 13 yo son and I test drove back to back M3P and MYP. I thought the suspension of the MY was not sorted nearly as well as the M3. My son found the back seat legroom and shoulder room to be a wash between them. You do get more headroom in MY. So I felt the passenger...

See EV1 profile pic. I can tell you with absolute authority that the EV1 made significant strides in mass reduction, aero, power electronics, new manufacturing techniques, etc over the state of the art. However, the battery technology did not exist at the time for significant range. The...

Data point: I took delivery on 8/1 and was updated to the then latest build the next day. I have updated maps data and software again since then. I don' think there is a consistent method to this process.
