Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

I reckon it would be unlikely. Might get the HD US added in and updated cameras
I read elsewhere that builds after October 4th are the MY23 version, not sure if thats correct though.
Well you never know? If it’s past March/April delivery then we might get a January build? The US and updated cameras would be nice tho..
Yes, the model year vs the compliance year are different. It's to do with the features (removal of ultrasonic sensors etc)

Yes, for cars built in the US factories, and also for Shanghai built cars for the EU market.
Those cars have a "P" in the 10th digit of the VIN which signifies a 2023 model.
Meanwhile they're still building cars for the Australian market with "N" (2022) VINs.
Normally Tesla don't correlate hardware changes with model years, but in this case it does appear that EU customers started getting the "your car has been built without ultrasonic sensors" vision prompt at the same time the P VINs appeared.
I expect Aussie VINs will switch to "P" from January. The million dollar question is whether we will lose USS at the same time, or if (as with any other year) the VIN is the only difference.
What's the benefit of better cameras, and if it's needed for FSD (if you buy it and it launches here), they will retrofit the new ones anyway?
The way I see it if you are looking at the present moment, losing USS will mean resale value of the car will be less for 2023 cars. Buyers will be "Oh its just like 2022 cars but no ultrasonic sensors, I better look for the 2022 year instead, I have a small garage".

Not for our market. Mine is MY22 and build 16/10/22. Glad i still have USS.
Here are potential patch notes of the Christmas Update:
(you'll need to translate from korean)
Some really nice features in there. I like auto indicator turn off when changing lanes.

They have backed out of no uss, they are adding in hd uss from what I've read. So the qn is, who gets the upgraded hd uss
In Melb and ordered a vanilla in March and finally got my invoice and VIN!
I sold my MY20 forester last night, I listed it at a reasonable price and only took a week. I got $6k more than what tesla downgraded my offer to
Bugga… Woke this morning to see this. Not there now. Same specs as my Feb-May delivery. Odd.
Awsome !!!Here are potential patch notes of the Christmas Update:

I was actually surprised that after 10 months of waiting and driving more than 10,000km Tesla did not reduce my offer from the original offer. I guess it depends who is evaluating the car.

I think you mean high definion radar, not ultrasonics.
HD radar may be making a comeback next year. Various blogs are making it sound like it's a done deal, but all we know for sure is Tesla will be "marketing" a 77GHz radar from January, but we don't know on which cars.
Radar (until recently) was used for keeping distance from the car in front when in cruise control or autopilot.
That's a separate issue from the ultrasonic parking sensors, which are no longer installed on cars for other markets, but so far we still get them.
