[IA_TESSIE]

Ok.
Here's whats for sure in new MY already
- Metal scroll wheels
- Auto dimming side mirrors
- Double Panned Glass
- USB in glovebox
- Tail lights LED Yellow

Here's what is in the MIC Model Y that SHOULD be coming to the US models

- Updated Headlights
- Updated Center Console
- Updated Door Dash Trim
- Hepa/Biodefense Mode


Here is what is coming in the MX and MS that SHOULD come to the MY
-MCU3

Future end of Year??
- Updated Battery
-Air Suspension

Did I miss anything? This is all conjecture but we're hoping it's March.

You're missing heated steering wheel. I know California orders the most of these but keep us cold weather folks in mind

They will release MU3 at the same time for all cars. They cant release just for MS, it will hurt sales for other cars because people will wait until its available

What are you referring to? MS already has air suspensions, even in older model. Do you have any information or data that led you to believe MY (and M3) will receive air suspension or active dampers?

Yeah it's all leaked but not proven.

Tesla Model 3 and Model Y's adjustable suspension hinted anew in Owner's Manual update

I took delivery 1/27, Heated Steering, Metal Scroller, 1 YEAR Premium.

Have you actually tested the heated steering wheel? It is enabled and functions?

 

[DanDi58]

I've seen some folks indicate that they think the pictures in the updated configurator show the new headlights, but personally, I can't tell the difference.

I think it's key to give more info about configuration when reporting having heated steering wheel. It seems to be all over the place in terms of who has it an who doesn't. There doesn't seem to be a delivery date or vin cutoff. I wonder if it is specific to RW/AW, location (e.g., prioritizing sending ones with Heated steering wheel to colder climates), particular color batch, etc.

I asked my Tesla rep about the heated steering wheel. Response: "we can ensure you get one manufactured with the heated steering wheel".

Sounds like you just need to reach out to your representative and make sure you get the features you want (if they are available, re: console).

The key here is:" manufactured" my feeling is that this would become a paid feature after delivery. Otherwise, the heated steering wheel should be part of the premium interior description. And let's not forget about the new language added :

i don’t think so.
some new owner get the heated steering wheel for free already.
it would make them unhappy if new software upgrade remove the feature, unless they pay extra for it.

Can you confirm it is actually active and you can turn it on? There seems to be some question here as to whether it is just coming with the hardware and they may charge later to activate or it is actually functional now?

New headlights?

TBH I think all the new stuff including lights is coming in March. That's when they really start producing MY cars again.

 

[DanDi58]

I just ordered LR AWD, DBM/black, 19" wheels, tow hitch. Hoping for March delivery!

Yup I been using it every morning. I thought i would never use it living in San Diego, but it's still quite nice having them
