So the official configurator for Model 3 was updated overnight and is now showing the chrome delete, the new style 19” sports wheels, new centre console and powered trunk. The only remaining question is what version do those of us with existing orders receive, this new version I presume?

..and new (as Model Y) Performance alloys - 20’’ Uberturbine Wheels
0-60 have also improved, ie 0.1 (P) & 0.2 (LR) as well as greater quoted WLTP range.

I would assume so. Also wonder if the new performance wheels help as that’s seen a fair bump in range.
How is the P faster though? It’s now on Pirelli’s instead of Michelin’s. Could that be it?

LR time was measured from standstill, Performance was measured using rollout (short rolling start) which is apparently worth a tenth or so. I wonder if they are now measuring these the same way?
They have updated the picture of my car on order to have what look like the new wheels but weirdly it still seems to have chrome trim.

It could be, but I’d put more money on it just being made up numbers. Remember all those ICE cars and magazine reviews testing and almost no one ever got the same 0-60? I suspect it’s more like that.

Software or hardware update for the figures? Range also has increased.
Assuming it'll be updated on the current models as well
The performance boost is showing the new times for current cars, so I assume the speed changes are software.
I'd guess that the range changes are a combination of heatpump(?) and software.
Ah yes.
The range bump pretty much confirms the heat pump and octovalve (I keep hearing that but have no idea what it is). Have people found heat pumps to make a massive difference in winter? I had an i3 without one and didn't feel compromised, but I wasn't doing long distances regularly.
When did you order? I think I’m going to toss a coin, read the remnants of my tea, check my horoscope and gaze at the stars to come to the conclusion of what might turn up at my door step. Have I just highlighted the Tesla order and delivery process?
