My 2020 is an October 2019 build. It has one piece trunk carpet.

I wonder if anyone noticed that the trunk carpet used to be made of a single piece, including the subtrunk box and the carpet liner.

I noticed the Model 3 has now two independent pieces, one for the rear sub-trunk and a second one for the liner behind the rear seat.

- Does any one noticed this difference, and when did it occurred?

My car is built May 2019 and has two different pieces.

This is a picture which popped up on a UK FB group. Can anyone verify it's correct? The car on the right is reportedly a European one in Germany.

Ah, Dolemite beat me to it

My SR+ Model 3 has the new frunk. Manufactured around 9/15, delivered 9/19 in San Diego, CA.

The new frunk looks exactly like the one pictured here.

Yes, I now have a LR with the new frunk too. Thanks for the report!

Is it still a 2020 with the new frunk ?

It’s October 2020 now, any word on when the 2021 models arrive?

Haven't heard anything as of yet. Read on a different group that last year around October the 2020 models started to roll out from Fremont. Maybe it'll be similar this year for delivery next month or December.

My 2020 was built in October 2019. Best way to know is look at your MVPA or VIN. The 10th digit of the VIN determines the model year.

 

[XLR82XS]

Model year (MY) is strictly based on the VIN. 10th digit determines MY. Since Tesla does rolling updates there may be some 2020 with the updated frunk.

Another video of the headlights in action.

Does Tesla do a paid auto trunk upgrade? Price? New console design looks nice too.

the cutoffs look really sharp and nice, reminiscent of the old xenon projector days

Sad situation.
From Germany is coming the evidence that, depending on VINs and the E3D (82 kWh) or E5D (77 kWh) code, the car can or cannot be equipped with the 82 kWh new battery or the 77 kWh bat and have or have not the new headlight (EU models). The latter seems to start from VIN 820XX

And i've got a 2021 with E5D (77 kWh) and vin 815XX so presumably without new headlight

Could you provide more details? I know there's coding that has to be done even if you swap out headlights that are "compatible" (whatever that means). I think Tesla may be able to do this over the phone, from what I've heard...

 

[EV Promoter]

Sorry no details on the headlights story, and now i realize that the thread is the wrong one...

Can you please explain what parts you bought and how you installed it? I have a 2021 Model 3 LR and really want these lights

they dont do much. dont bother. if you want some optical pep get sone led strips or so for the centre console

 

[tshields]

I have both 19 & 20MY and here are the differences/changes:
1. I feel it's quieter while driving. Less wind noise from roof and window seals.
2. Window seals are stiffer rubber. Possible revised design or new vendor?
3. Fenders not touching the body at the A-pillar (the rust issue)
4. Slightly stiffer trunk carpet lining. (sides and where trunk lights mount)
5. No frunk carpet mat from factory anymore.

Everything else I have examined is identical. As ownership time continues I may find more differences

From our research we found out that there is also a slight margin of error in the cabin dimensions on the 2019 and the number is even less with the 2020 M3.

Hi, what wires did you tap to get the power for the pocket light?
