Minus the 0-60 time (I couldn't care less), all other features added by the time we ordered the car it's an upgrade.It means they are downgrading your vehicle from the time of your original order.
YesI'm a bit confused. Are all US 2022 Model 3 RWD using LFPs?
Yes. The LFP SR package is probably the size (and weight) of a NCA long range battery. 35% less energy *or* 35% bigger.LFP batteries generally have about 35% less energy than "regular" LiOn batteries. So how does the model 3 with LFP only suffer a 10 mile range penalty ? Did they put more batteries in the LFP cars?
not having to swap our the battery every 12 years or so is a huge bonus.The real advantage if the lpo batteries is not that you can charge to 100% (apart from regions without access to dc charging i. E. Australia noone needs this anyway). The real advantage is apparently the very little to no degradation.
How true is that? Only time will tell. I cant wait for the reports from the first cars in europe regarding degradation.
35% less energy per unit size would require (1-(1/(1-.35)) = 54% increase in size for the same energyYes. The LFP SR package is probably the size (and weight) of a NCA long range battery. 35% less energy *or* 35% bigger.
I am getting a M3 Long Range in 2 weeks from the Shanghai factory, do these come with LFP packs?
I see you're in Switzerland. I assume LR in Switzerland is the same as North America. If that's the case, then you'll get the "standard" NCA battery, not LFP. LFP doesn't have enough energy for a long range model.I am getting a M3 Long Range in 2 weeks from the Shanghai factory, do these come with LFP pack
Weight is not the issue but the density of the cell. For now LFP is not possible for long range cars for the foreseeable future.long range is afaik non lfp due to weight issues.

The issue with hot weather is battery degradation, not range reduction. Since LFP has less degradation than NCA, it is obviously a better hot weather battery.Is there ANY information on HOT weather performance of the LFP battery? Anything? All searches for "hot" related to LFP battery seems to result in nothing but cold related information. I live in a desert! Car will be in a small, hot garage. Likely 120+ F at times. Will the heat from the A/C system cooling the battery make the garage significantly hotter? Will it still cool the battery adequately if not plugged in? Will I lose a lot of range driving around in 115+ F weather? Is LFP generally better or worse than NCA in the heat? Is it okay to charge to 100% all the time in the heat?
