This is just wrong! Just some bad luck but I’m sure you will be happy when you get your car and this extra month of delay in your case will be forgotten soon. All the best to you. I don’t know why I’m still lurking on this forum (rooting for you guys to get your cars soon, I guess!) but one...

Right. Mine is 4446-826=3620. And, indeed, I do have the “daily” and “trip” delineation. So I guess that settles it on how to tell if your car has an NCA or LFP battery. As many have stated before, there are minor pros/cons based on your use case, but for most of us, it’s a non issue. E.g...

4446 lbs for the NCA I took delivery of on Friday

I looked at the weight of the car on the door jamb and then googled the weight of the M3 with NCA vs LFP. Mine is an NCA, as expected since I had ordered in end June and never received the switch-to-LFP email which Tesla only sent to those who were willing to take an LFP and accelerate delivery...

Dad didn’t do well in the high school 💪🏾 department, hoping my son does better. Not to veer off too far but my kids don’t seem to really be as excited about a car for them as I would’ve been at their age. It’s just not the rite of passage into adulthood that it used to be. Teens today say Dad...

Hey - thanks a lot!

Well, the car was delivered this morning. I’ll let my son do the close inspection on build quality when he’s back from school in a few hours. It’s his car after all. But I did notice all 4 doors need to be slammed rather hard to close completely. Maybe after a while we won’t have to slam the...

Thanks for this great explanation! My car is set for home delivery tomorrow morning.

this seems to be correct. My SA explained to me too that my NCA was likely to arrive earlier than the LFP I found in inventory because the LFP M3 was in pre-production and could take 2~3 weeks to be delivered. it turns out she was correct...

June 28 NCA order, home delivery in San Diego scheduled on Friday (even though I live close to the Carlsbad delivery center), got the email from Tesla as well as VIN last night. LFP would've been fine too in sunny San Diego weather and for the short daily commute this car will be used for, but...

Well, she also said “it’s up to you, maybe the nca car will get delayed to October …or even to January…or that the LFP car could be ready sooner than the 2 week estimate on the nca..”. Basically she didn’t know but her comments were along the lines of “if I were you, I’d wait since most likely...

Ordered June 28 San Diego (technically June 15 but changed to white seats on June 28, which reset the “order date”). EDD steady recently at 31Aug-14Sept. Yep, hope it’s a Sept delivery. The SA talked me out of placing a new order for an LFP inventory car, saying that the red color...

Well, it’s hard to guesstimate who was on the list to receive a VIN soon but it does seem that there was some sort of cutoff date. Ie the letter seems to have gone out to those whose deliveries were towards the end of Q4. Btw agree with the comments about carvana eroding the value of leasing...

I have to think it’s just a glitch and the EDD will get updated in a day or two to reflect a September delivery. I ordered in mid June and my EDD is still holding steady aug 31-sept 14. We didn’t get the emails offering a switch to the LFP battery models in exchange for pulling in the EDD by...

I didn’t get the letter. I suspect Tesla is sending this letter only to those with Q4 EDDs. I would get LFP battery version in a heart beat even with the same September EDD window as i have now if Tesla were to offer a discount on the lower capacity. But the tone of of the letter implies that...
