    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    Somebody else linked a thread with an even better discussion than what I was looking at. I understand that cold affects all batteries, but it does, without a doubt, affect LFP batteries more. I owned a Nissan Leaf for two years until I sold it when I got my VIN assigned last week, range loss on...

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    At this point, it's still a maybe, and frankly closer to never. We don't even have an agreement in the House, much less across both houses of Congress. Manchin stood right up on stage with his Toyota friends and spoke out against the credit, which means the Democrats would need to find at least...

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    I don't know, and I don't care to find out :) My understanding is that the effect is pretty significant. In addition, beyond the cold it also makes the vehicle weigh more and consequently makes it less efficient and reduces acceleration. (note that the 2022 RWD base model has a full half-second...

    2022 VINs do have the LFP batteries. There are a mix of 2021 and 2022 being delivered right now because of shipping distance, etc.

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    There are specific inventory LFP that were imported from China to address the backlog. Those were handled separately. No custom-ordered 2021 VIN should have LFP batteries.

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    2021 will not have LFP battery, my SA confirmed when my VIN landed (which is good for me, I don't want LFP -- cold climate).
