    Discussion: Model 3 and Y price drop Jan 2023 / April 2023 / Oct 2023 and All other Pricing Speculation going forward

    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.

    2023 Model Y RWD vin assignment

    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...

    Model 3 SR+ LFP Battery Range, Degradation, etc Discussion

    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.

    Solved: Road Noise & Front Wind Noise

    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...

    Mod: adding Footwell ambient interior light to SR+ partial premium

    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...

    Model 3 Road Noise

    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

    Pickup experience; what can I expect?

    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...

    Sales tax error

    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.

    Why choose Model 3 over Model Y if you can have more trunk space?

    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...

    2022 Model Y 4680 Structural Pack is "Amazing", Says Munro & Associates

    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...

    What is special about the delivery software? [firmware]

    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.

    It for sure has LFP and Ryzen if made this year. SA can look to see if it has global (matrix) or premium (not matrix) headlights once you have vin.

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    On day 319 I took delivery my my RWD Model 3. The car had 3 miles on it, global (matrix) headlights, AMD, mobile connector, etc. I can't find anything wrong with it besides the door weather stripping being a little flat. It is currently sitting my garage updating to the 20.7 software. Good...

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    EV1 was like nothing else made in the late 90s. It was very small (2 seater) and sat low. It was pretty slow past 30 mph. It was a head turner though. The old ones I mostly drove had maybe 50 miles of actual range.

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    Interior of GM EV1. The centralized controls remind me of M3. I used to be an electric powertrain engineer for GM and spent a lot of time driving EV1s in the early 2000s.

    After being in this thread forever, I find all this EDD/VIN activity odd. This must be what it feels like in the LR/P waiting room threads.

    Same here on US east coast. No MSM love from Tesla for something that was a paid upgrade when ordered. Our time will come... just later than the others, I guess.

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    Very excited for you, You and Sexy_owner are the east coast SR+ orders that I've been watching since last fall as indicators of order movement. It looks like the 2021 guys are getting some traction in Q3. Hopefully, Q1 and Q2 were abnormalities for LFP supply and maybe the 2022 orders won't...

    Okay I'm day 302. I passed 300 and didn't even know it. My EDD is holding steady at 8/15 to 9/18. In retrospect I should have switched to LR a long time ago. However, I don't think switching now would buy me much difference in delivery time. At this point, it's a social experiment more...

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    S I have the same order month, hold, and config as you. My EDD is Aug-Sep. I think it will eventually come but I also think Tesla would prefer me to cancel or upgrade. People who upgraded in the middle of last quarter saw VINs soon after the switch. Now at the beginning of 3Q, everyone is...

    Model 3 SR+ LFP Battery Range, Degradation, etc Discussion

    Look at your charge limits on the car. If you have daily and trip you have NCA. If just percent of SOC, then LFP.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I think Tesla could qualify as a "dealer" under the EV rebate because the DMV has previously made a public policy exception to the law against OEM's owning a dealership to license of the existing Tesla "dealerships." But it is all moot as there is no chance of funding anytime soon.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    The Virginia EV rebate passed but was never funded. That is, no money was allocated by the legislature to pay for any of it, and no money will be allocated anytime soon. It's not a Tesla problem, it's a Virginia problem. Here's an article on it...

    Since fall 21, all RWD M3 for US/CA customer are made in Fremont with LFP cells from CATL in China. It is not exactly clear where the cells are made into a pack but regardless at least the modules if not the entire pack needs to come from China.

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    My wife was asking what's up with the Tesla. So I explained about LFP, supply chain, Hertz, LR/P priority, etc. Her response was you should just upgrade and move on. I think I will hold out a few more weeks and see if east coast '21 orders start getting VINs.

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    I am very value conscious. Just because I can easily afford something doesn't mean I will buy it if it is not good value proposition. My RWD is locked at the $40k base price which is now going for $47k. So that's ($7k "equity"). My AWD price is $50k and is now selling for $58k ($8k...
