Tesla will need to first increase the range of the Long Range model. Then maybe we'll see range increases closer to 280 miles for the SR+.60kwh mic lfp delivered in Germany. Increased range. When will we see that!

BTW I was serious...Tesla will need to first increase the range of the Long Range model. Then maybe we'll see range increases closer to 280 miles for the SR+.
Any chance/rumors that those that got M3 SR+ with LFP packs actually got the bigger pack, but just waiting on an update to reflect?BTW I was serious...
Tesla increases size of Standard Range Plus (SR+) Model 3 battery pack
Although they have yet to update their website, Tesla has quietly increased the size of the battery pack in the Standard Range Plus (SR+) Model 3 made at Giga Shanghai. We reported on the possible […]driveteslacanada.ca
Glad I picked up my mine. However, I am uncertain if I received an LFP battery. From looking on TMC and other online sources, I see that the 7th letter on the VIN should be "F," the curb weight, and when charging, LFP's do not show "Daily" or "Trip." Mine has the LFP curb weight and doesn't show "Daily or "Trip." However, the 7th letter on my VIN is "E." On Reddit, it looks like other owners have come across the same issue.
Does anyone know of any other ways to verify if I have an LFP battery? I am eager to charge it up to 100% but do not want to hurt my battery if it isn't what I think it is.

I figured as such, but the reassurance was needed. Thank you.Your own quotes answer your question:
If it doesnt show daily or trip in the car, its a LFP battery.
You ended up being close….but it’s hard to predict these things because it depends on whether Tesla voluntarily reduces the range obtained in the test. If they do that, they end up with a lower displayed range but higher energy content rated miles. Also the LFPs may not extract as much energy in the cold test, and that will hurt their scalar value, bringing it towards 0.7.Should be a roughly 9% increase from 253 to 276 miles, unless they use some of that 5kWh for additional buffer?
That's interesting. J is the motor built in China so it could definitely explain the change in the 0-60 times as well. My LFP has the 980 motor from the M3 Performance. Seems like that was a stop gap measure before they could switch to the new motor with lower performance and higher range. My car is advertised as 253 range but the new cars in the US show 267.Hello from the UK - Tesla informed me that my SR+ will have a 305 mile range.
The 8th letter in my VIN is J. This indicates the new, more efficient motor (Hence the range increase).
Makes sense. When I saw the new 0-60 time my first thought was they weren't using the performance motor anymore, but it didn't occur to me they were using a more efficient motor to help get the range increase. I'm still waiting for my car (Late Dec EDD) Very curious to see if I get an LFP car and what range/motor/etc. Also curious to learn why the MIC LFP cars are now 305 mile range vs 272 for Fremont.That's interesting.

I'm right there with you. My EDD was jumping around a lot but just in the past 3-4 days stopped changing and now for the first time I'm within the estimated window (11/5 - 12/3). Really wondering if I'll be getting the SR+ or RWD specs, and which flavor battery will be installed. I'm in the SF Bay Area so will be getting a car built in Fremont.Makes sense.

Things change quickly, just got my VIN Battery type is E (Lion), motor is A, and model year is M (2021). Interestingly using the VIN decoder on teslatap.com the check character in digit 9 doesn't match what it should be. Not sure what that means, but not too worried about it.I'm right there with you.

I've heard recent cases where the VIN decoder wasn't accurate, so I wouldn't put too much faith in the decoder. But congrats on getting a car!

No delivery date yet. When the VIN was assigned I was thinking that the car is done, but now realizing that it only means that a VIN has been designated and there are instances of assigned VINs disappearing from peoples apps. Fingers crossed that won't happen and since I'm doing a pick up at the factory there won't be any transportation time so I'm hopeful the time from VIN to driving a car will be pretty short.I've heard recent cases where the VIN decoder wasn't accurate, so I wouldn't put too much faith in the decoder.
