So my observations on calendar degradation: Background: I live in Tasmania, Australia, a cooler state which you would expect would help the battery longevity as the battery remains cooler but not freezing. Had my '22 RWD for 8 months, almost no fast charging, Gen3 wall connector charged, and...

https://www.tesmanian.com/blogs/tesmanian-blog/catl-to-supply-lmfp-batteries-to-tesla-in-q4-for-model-y-production It's not been well publicised this one, LMFP is a thing now, adds between 20 to 25% energy density over LFP, and sounds like it could be in production Tesla's soon. The manganese...

Out of interest is that the screws that hold the number plate bracket to the car boot or the screws holding the number plate to the bracket? And do you mean like the head of the screw broke off, or the plastic thread stripped out or something?

Unfortunately my inverter is a model that's not supported by ChargeHQ, however I do run a solar hybrid setup with a home LFP battery, so I can usually get away with setting charging to like 10 to 15A during the day and just walking away and let the house battery fill in the cloudy gaps so that I...

I think they may have lowered the power feed in from a dead stop a little, and it's likely running a 630 amp inverter rather than an 800 amp one (unconfirmed). Hard to tell the difference between it and previous SR+ I drove for a few days that had the performance motor, it's very quick on the...

😄 Yeah, looks good under there, not driven in the rain yet :) Love the tesla moulded logo on the main drive cable. Looks well put together to me. Was it finally revealed what Bjorn Nyland had in that recently tested car?

Here you go 2022 RWD (Engine Number removed)

Sentry has always been a handy side benefit of the self driving tech, rather than a ground up security solution. Due to that compromise they need to run a mini supercomputer constantly that consumes 200-250 watts constantly while on. Ideally it would have separate cameras or a split feed from...

I've been doing more research on this topic. I now have more reason to believe they are actually using a lesser 630 Amp rated inverter board combined with the 3D7 motor in the RWD. I was under the impression only the motor changed but possibly not. While the motor change itself is a physical...

I don't think Tesla made the car slower to make it Australian P plate legal... How many P plate sales do you think they will have? Our entire EV market is small fry let alone just the P platers. May have similar reasons in Europe though. They could easily offer the boost and put a disclaimer...

I do agree it probably is limited in the power 'ramp up' and the variables are adjusted there though the 'lag' isn't so pronounced in the rolling test on that video above, he only got a car length in front before the other car was holding. We know the 2022 RWD has a physically lower rated...

I don't know where this person got this info but if it's accurate then the new 2022 RWD (6.1s/100kmh) only loses out in the first 0-20km/h sprint so after it's rolling it's basically the same acceleration as the older more powerful 2021 SR+ (5.6s/100kmh)...

General consensus is to wait until you receive a delivery date from Tesla

You have to wonder if it was the repairer that just didn't get the order right... I mean we are all human, mistakes happen, getting the order right to begin with or expecting certain parts to come with certain bits when in reality it's another part. The problem in this case that's a new order...

Yeah totally normal the 'Pay the balance before delivery bit' it's a bit misleading by Tesla, general consensus is not to pay until after being given an actual delivery day (even some SA's say this) FYI an Invoice showed up in my account from me 12 days after I first found the hidden VIN, but...

Being a regional area you will not get an EDD You will get a VIN though, hidden to start, followed within days to a few weeks later by an Invoice Have you checked for a hidden VIN? Look at your car order details page, then in Edge or Chrome (Ctrl-U) to open source code on the page then...

I think this is the 12 that have been previously reported on by various sources, FB etc, shown coming through Port Melbourne on the back of a truck heading for the spirit, thanks for sharing.

not anymore no. $780 for a Gen3 wall charger.

Seems to be in the ballpark but it obviously has assumptions for road conditions. they continue to add features, you couldn't remove the aero wheel cover before but now you can. Interesting to see anywhere around 100km and hour and +/- 5km either way changes the range by approx 25km for the RWD.

Sounds like the car might be fussy with the Gen 3 charger

I'd be happy with just a Model 3 liftback edition :)

Kev got a LR, it does not have reduced acceleration from previous models, that's only the RWD. However see this post for 2022 RWD first test: https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/posts/6430964/

Yeah seems software limited at low speed seems to be the key difference. I'm surprised you managed to get hold of a new 2022 RWD for a test drive - I don't know of anyone else on the forums (or UK or NZ for that matter) that have managed to get their new 2022 RWD yet and report back! Did you...

I like number plate covers, but these plates are already framed in black on the number plate itself so look good. Is that a standard option plate in NSW? jealous!

The indicator was very small before.

Fairly sure no rear laminated glass will in Q1 2022 built models. Ryzen is a near certainty at this point.

Tyre wear vs energy cost while mostly charging on off peak power (something like 14c/kWh) does seem to work out similar cost per km for a RWD/SR+

It's in USA...No hairpin motors there that I am aware of at least not in the SR+/RWD (3D6 is hairpin wound) The 2021 would have been the 3D1 motor with a 55kWh LFP pack rated at 5.6s/100km - they called it a Unicorn but from the description it's not what we would call a Unicorn which has the...

That's comparing cars with different motors. In the USA that would be 3D1 (performance) vs 3D5 (standard) motor. In the UK at this time RWD all seem to be coming with the 3D7 which is the Hairpin wound version of the standard motor and will likely perform similar to the 'slower' car in that video.

Glove box USB port will work but that's also the port you have to use for Sentry. An unpowered USB hub will likely work to run both at once

R motor is the 3D5 208kW. 5.8s to 60mph. I've seen a few UK people post their 2022 Model 3 RWD/SR+ VINs with an S, which is the 3D7 motor which is 'hairpin wound' which technically should be slightly better but probably not much in it and both motors are limited to 208kW peak. Looking further...

Pirates I reckon. They'd struggle to drive the cars due to the security but the spare parts are so damned valuable it was worth it.

Good write up, has the Wh/km consumption improved at all?

I don't have the specs for the 3D7, but the 3D5 is listed in the European Certificate of Conformity as: Maximum Net Power 208kW Maximum 30 min power 88kW Maximum hourly output 44kW Unknown amount of time on the 'Maximum Net Power' it is peak maybe 1 minute? ICE cars are also rated for peak (at...

Yep 3D6 & 3D7 are hairpin wound motors

Nope different models were used at different times and regions, both 3D1 & 3D6 were used in the SR+ & both limited to 239kW. Just like now Europe RWD M3's from Shanghai are being delivered with 3D5 while Australia are getting 3D7, at least for now, both limited to 208kW (as seen in the VINs...

All Tesla SA provided information has pointed to yes in 2022 Shanghai Model 3 builds, Ryzen, new heated windscreen wiper pad, both rear reversing lights enabled and Lithium 12v battery. 90% confident but can't be 100% until someone takes delivery.

They look good, does the sidewall bulge further out than the OEM tyres? I wonder if less rolling resistance than OEM.

From my research.. 208kW is the actual peak power, software limited in the RWD. 194kW is the nominal power of the motor at 320v, actual RWD system voltage is higher than this thus they can make more power. 2021 LFP models were 239kW peak using the 3D6 or 3D1 motor (Performance model motor)...

In Australia Tesla have been sending customers a notice to say due to increased consumption of the new car computer (Ryzen) range has dropped 20km/12miles on the Performance. https://insideevs.com/news/561232/amd-ryzen-affects-range-tesla/

Interesting, how old is your car & which model? Are you in the far north in hot conditions all the time? Do you super charge a lot?

Which as far as I can tell looks brilliant for the LFP cars so far, at least for those who monitor with TeslaFi and as reported by owners so far but understand that's only about a year max of data. I find it very interesting and will be monitoring my own car also.

I hope they put a number of chargers at the same location, around maybe some restaurant infrastructure or similar (like in Norway) If they scatter them around a lot it doesn't help much for the future.

I think 5% loss after 100,000km is high end. That's only 250 cycles. Would mean the car would almost be worn out after just 1000 cycles. I'd say half (2.5% degradation after 100k) is about on the money expected right now for the LFP battery and it may do even better. I have home LFP...

LFP RWD Model is not getting a WLTP range drop in Australia. Only the LR and P are losing WLTP rated range (12 & 20km respectively) blamed on the Ryzen where Tesla is asking them to accept that range reduction in their Tesla accounts. Yet all 2022 models are basically 90% confirmed to be...

The 8th digit of your VIN determines the motor type. S = 3D7 hairpin for RWD model, if it's R it's 3D5

https://www.tesla.com/ownersmanual/model3/en_cn/GUID-E414862C-CFA1-4A0B-9548-BE21C32CAA58.html It was likely the 2022 RWD was either going to have the 3D5 or the 3D7 motor in Australia. The 3D7 is a newer hairpin motor with slightly better specs than the 3D5 so this is a good thing that people...

It creates some doubt even given all the reports from Tesla SA's (including my own) that the RWD will have it, but then the Ryzen shouldn't have this much impact to WLTP range on the LR & P either as it is having so there's that as well, got to be more to the story.

20/11 RWD

Correct.. look at source code for LRW some other sites/forums said to review the source for isNotMatchedToRa00Vin" bit.... but mine still says True and has been the whole time even though the Vin is actually there today! (my order page has also updated with final payment amounts due prior to...
