identifying Model 3 trim level using GVWR

[pintx]

I couldn't find such information online. Having gone to the trouble to try to tabulate it, I'm posting it in the hopes that it might help someone else trying to find such information.

The goal was see how practical it would be to use just the GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) to identify (or at least narrow down) what trim level a Model 3 has (and possibly what battery, construction technique through use of gigacastings, etc.). For those who don't already know, the GVWR is on the doorjamb sticker.

This may take some iterations to complete the information, and I'd welcome insight into the missing pieces.

NOTE: the production date ranges are approximate and based only on door jam stickers I've seen.

I did the same data breakdown for the Model Y, but that post got flagged for review (presumably because I'm a new user). It didn't help that I accidentally put it under Model X and there doesn't appear to be any way to move or delete the post.

Also, things are not going to plan, as I incorrectly assumed that I would be able to just edit and improve the list in the post over time... but this forum is configured with an edit timeout.

Still, I think the data is (mildly) interesting. It was no great secret that there were a lot of design revisions on the Model 3 (thirteen different GVWR that I've counted so far), but even the Model Y has quite a few iterations. Maybe there is some secret corner of the Internet that already tabulates these revisions, but I couldn't find it.

For example, there are at least nine different GVWR for the Model Y in the USA, even though there were only five US models (and four different semi-official curb weights amongst those five).
