Nope, mine is free, in the foot well of the drivers seat, just above my left foot...
It's in the center console at the bottom in the back by the rear passenger feet. There's a cover that pops off and that's how you access.

It looks, that Tesla is lying and supplying EU LR21 with a china NMC 811 LG Chem battery. I don't want this unstable chemistry! The only benefit is a low price - for Tesla. About 60% slower charging speed and no information about lifecycle. https://twitter.com/Debuking5/status/1339598021600759814?s=20
So don’t buy it?I don't want this unstable chemistry!
Not that I am invested in this topic one way or the other, but it appears you joined this website today to make this post, linking to some random twitter feed.

Separate from my thought above...

So don’t buy it?
Sorry about that, I'm concerned about NMC 811. I wrote to Tesla and they reply, that in my car E5D is a Panasonic NCA battery. I hope that it is true and they will solve the charging speed with OTA.
This thread has been updated with informations later arrived, but not deniying what is written here.
2021 Model 3 - Charge data
Bjorn charge Test V3 & Ionity: LR 2021 LG Chem vs. LR 2019 Pana
But anyway, you'll be the first to have an E5D with Panasonic, the thing is anomalous. If your info came from Tesla, i would not rely on it at all, they are trying to avoid people refuses the car, as it's happening, for the 14 days "no question" rules valid in EU.
I would not believe it, the homologation EU documents states clearly that E5D it's homologated only with LG and your car would be irregular

Got a reply from the Tesla store manager: "The battery supplier is not specified when ordering the car, so it is not possible to say that you ordered a car with a Panasonic battery.".
This picture is interesting. Can you provide the source?I would not believe it, the homologation EU documents states clearly that E5D it's homologated only with LG and your car would be irregular

I don't think Tesla is "lying". To supply the European market, some Model 3s are coming from the US and some are coming from China. The MIC (Made in China) Model 3s have the LG Chem batteries because Tesla has contracts with LG Chem and CATL to supply batteries for the Model 3s made in China. The LG Chem and CATL batteries are of a different chemistry then the Tesla/Panasonic batteries from the Nevada Gigafactory. However, I heard they are putting a higher capacity battery (the LG Chem ones) to make up for the less efficient battery chemistry. Also they seem to charge slower than the Tesla/Panasonic batteries.
As far as I know, the US Fremont factory is NOT using LG Chem batteries. (Would like to be proven wrong on this) So if you want the Panasonic battery, buy a made in the US Model 3. Also the more dense Panasonic battery is not in full production yet? Do all 2021 US Model 3s have the higher density battery? US owners will have to chime in on that.
