I got a R. Build date 30/6Anybody know why Tesla seeming have gone back to the 3D5 motor?
Just looking at my Vin LRW3F7FRxxxxxxxxx and I'm perplexed why the 8th digit isn't a "S"..
My understanding was that they all went to the newer hairpin motor as of 22?
It better bloody still be able to hit the advertised acceleration
Did other RWD owners this batch (and the last) get the same "R" 8th digit?

I feel the same as you my Order Date twin. It felt like it got so close.
But oh well, all I hope now is that another bulk allocation comes, and it doesn’t feel so patchy…
Likewise, fellow Order Date triplets!
I don’t have the luxury of a Garage and don’t want to have the UMC out in the weather all the time so I got a wall charger. Everyone’s needs are different.
My one piece of advice would be to go in with eyes wide open and get a sparky to assess your mains setup before they quote. They might be able to assess with photos like mine did.That's pretty much sold me! Thanks for the insight. Info like this is exactly why I joined this forum... I also know a bit about ships and novated leasing too now
Things the sparky should check include:
- Maximum current from your meter (mine has a 100A fuse at the meter, and we’re a two person household). I understand increasing this requires assessment / agreement from your utility power provider
- Your mains switch box has room to add the new “poll” (switch / circuit breaker). To get the maximum 32A power delivery the wall connector should be on its own circuit. If you look yourself and think you don’t have room in the switch box, you may still be in luck, the sparky may be able to move things around to accomodate the new circuit, as they did with mine
Hopefully we get good news together…along with many others with dates around us
Are you sure that’s not the 3D6 Motor? Anyone got a Unicorn model 3 VIN to verify? If it is that’d be awesome. Much higher power output.Anybody know why Tesla seeming have gone back to the 3D5 motor?

This site ... Tesla VIN decoder. ... has this for the 8th digit ...
1 = Single motor
2 = Twin motors
3 = Single Performance motor
4 = Twin Performance motor
5 = P2 Dual motor (usually MS or MX)
6 = P2 Tri-motor (MS or MX)
A = Single motor - standard (usually M3)
B = Dual motor - standard (usually M3)
C = Base Motor, Tier 2 Battery or Dual Performance motor (M3)
D = Single motor, std winding (usually MY)
E = Dual motor except M3, std winding (usually MY)
F = Performance, std winding (usually MY)
G = Base Motor, Tier 4 Battery
J = Single motor, hairpin winding
K = Dual motor, hairpin winding
L = Performance, hairpin winding
N = Base Motor, Tier 7 battery
P = Performance Motor, Tier 7 battery
S = 3D7 Motor
... but no 'R'. Need to hunt around a bit more to see what we can find.

Also our own forum back here ... Australian Model 3 Waiting Room ... makes for an interesting read,

So a different motor to the Q1 RWD? Interesting that there hasn't been more commentary if that is in fact the case.
You know, if it wasn't for this long wait between order date in February and delivery date in <insert crystal ball date here>, I would not have learnt so much about international shipping, ship tracking sites, forklifts, RORO ships, flying drones in Shanghai, car accessory ordering and delivery, how to refresh the cellphone 50 times a day, and now tonight ... I'm learning about different electric motor technology. Thanks Elon.
My pre-approval with Macquarie expires beginning of September. After reading here, and considering, I've decided the odds of seeing my early march OD vehicle arrive before then as slim to none, so will lose the 2.99% interest rate. Interest rate is currently 4.99%, and very likely to rise again. I've started the process with Macquarie of restarting the approval process to lock in the 4.99% interest rate. I feel super confident that I'll have the car before this would expire (end of January 2023).
But now, of course, cause the universe has a sense of humour I'll get a VIN tomorrow and my car will arrive mid August, and I'll have the higher interest rate cause I didn't want to gamble. You're welcome, Feb and March orders

It's always good fun when somebody takes an early delivery of a new batch and gets under the rear passenger to take a photo of the motor id plate for the benefit of the punters on this forum.I've found earlier posts indicating it's 3D5 from RedSky1 on this thread.
Granted that's one source, but knowing my luck it'll be right
UK 2022 Orders to Delivery inc the shipping thread for posts with no shipping news
Anyone else concerned with the 40+bhp power reduction on the 2022 Model 3 RWD motor, 320 to 280 ish, on their, soon to be delivered, cars. Tesla have changed to the "R" motor. For the Model 3 that shows as 208 kW, (8th VIN digit), taken from the VIN's allocated so far for 2022! The Model Y "R"...

So far this is all I can find.. If it's accurate I'm pretty gutted..
I know its just a RWD, but I didn't expect an even further downgrade
I'm sure I'll get over it by delivery lol..
