M3 Refresh

[Roy W.]

Just read on Electrek that the refresh includes a new heated steering wheel. That’s the thing I miss most on my Model 3 compared to my old Kona.

Tesla officially launches Model 3 2021 refresh with more range and features - Electrek

Same here, just got email stating it has been updated. My final order came through last Friday.

Good news that the cars are getting better. Only thing I'm really fussed about is range. I wonder if that's across all cars or just the new models?

Also, I held off a chrome delete because I was told it has an adverse effect on insurance. But to me this is a green light to go ahead with no penalty!

Edit: Just got off the call with the Delivery specialist, he's said all Right hand Drive cars have the new Trim. The only models that are a bit up in the air are LHD, Standard Range +'s as there's a mix of both!

Who do you call to speak to? I'd like to know as I've not received any email but have an SR+ on order and want the refresh.
Thanks

Be careful. Just because this spec car has "chrome delete" (which is actually anodised) doesn't suddenly mean that your insurers are ok with you wrapping your car. Some insurers - notably the Direct Line group - are not ok with wraps at all.

A grey area would be replacing the various brightwork with the bits from the MY21 car, which would be do-able but pretty expensive I imagine (new wing mirror assemblies, etc)

The double paned glass, heated steering wheel and electric boot would be great - bit of a bummer when you've taken delivery within the last month or two. Hoping the performance upgrade comes OTA to existing owners at least.

They called me this morning to confirm some other order issues. Find the email for your delivery service location and ask there !

I downloaded my configuration and in the pdf there was an interior I have never seen before, cloth seats, centre console appears to be just an empty storage area, black trim instead of wood (for all the wood haters), not sure if it's some kind of cheaper base model they may be planning on introducing?

 

[Terranca]

BTW, sales advisors in the Netherlands are saying the Q4 deliveries of SR+ spec are the "old" model, while the LR and P spec will already be the refreshed models. Would be interesting to see what they tell you in the UK (since the cars are arriving on the same boat)

 

[White Eusebio]

Also got email saying order modified, which I'm pretty pleased about overall
But still no mention of a delivery date....

Got a call from them earlier today and asked. RHD SR+ have the new trim.

Hmmmm. Several things wrong with that image unless its V11

I just called 01628 450660 Option 4 for sales and said I've not had an email to say my order has been updated, but she looked on the system and said I will be getting the refreshed model and I've ordered a SR+. Emails are gradually coming out she says. The lady was actually really helpful. Unless you are currently matched to a car and have the VIN showing it is the L VIN, she said everyone will be getting the refresh on all variants of the Model 3. She did say that the delivery might slip into December as there are no cars arriving any time soon (we all know that from Mr Miserable and his fantastic thread!) but I'm pleased I now know I'm getting the refreshed model.

 

[Broooce]

I just emailed a very helpful Senior Tesla Advisor, she said I will be getting new trim SR+ ordered 2nd October. Looking good for us all waiting

Nice Christmas present Lord knows people need something to look forward to this year.

 

[Sugei]

Still keeping my fingers crossed it's before end of November as my current insurance runs out on last day of November. If means messing about and waiting so be it. One can dream haha

 

[OneTinyFish]

So, I've had my Tesla now a couple of weeks and all of a sudden they change again? Ha, price of progress.

I've noticed that my Performance Boost Upgrade Option has changed from 4.4s->3.9s to 4.2s->3.7s. I wonder if this is a bug, or if there really was/soon to be a free 0.2s OTA update over the air.

Time to pre-order that iPhone 12.

The screen looks like it is set up for a LHD car although the car is obviously RHD, not sure if the interior is for a different market than the UK but it is an official Tesla photo downloaded from their own site.

Keep going...

Exciting times for you prospective new owners being the first to beta test all these new goodies on Tesla behalf
(yes, yes that is sour grapes)

I spoke to my local SC to chase delivery on mine. They've said that the refresh will have different spec tyres as well as different wheels. They also said that the refresh will include the heatpump, hence the increased range.

It also looks likely that all current orders that have not been matched will be the refreshed models. First deliveries will be mid-November.
