Yes. It is improved over my 2019. Now we just need some silent tires.Any 2020 new owner noticed any cabin noise reduction as mentioned by musk’s twitters a few month ago?
This article from MotorTrend references improvements to the 2020 Model 3 rear seat, which my family would welcome:
MotorTrend Announces Its 2020 Awards Podium Finalists - MotorTrend Group
With a thanks to Teslarati for bringing it to my attention:
Tesla Model 3 makes it as one of Motortrend's Car of the Year Top 3 finalists
Here is the relevant quote for convenience:
The 2020 Model 3 is the best sport sedan on the market. The 2020 Model 3’s interior design continues to be modern and minimalistic, but it’s elegant in its simplicity. The 2020 Model 3’s seats offer more bolstering, and rear passengers now enjoy a more ergonomic position, as the bench has been raised for improved comfort. In terms of driving, the Model 3 offers impressive dynamic performance as well as battery-pack range that continues to be the benchmark for electric vehicles.
I have both 19 & 20MY and here are the differences/changes:

Yes, cut at on all 3's produced from 9/1/19 on.This was cut in 2019. I didn't get one.
Annoying spaceship sound when reversing
In addition they are changing the MSRP requirements (must be less than $60k) to qualify for the $2500 CVRP, starting December 3rd, 2019. Wonder whether Tesla will soon squeeze the MSRP of Performance + PUP to below $60k, when including FSD? Keep an eye out for that! MSRP is going to likely go down by $2k in January anyway, and then it would only be $2-3k away from getting below $60k.
What should I know about the December 3rd program changes?
Note that there are proposals in the works which are talking about increasing the rebate to as much as $7500 in the future, in California. We'll see whether they come to fruition.
Not a 2020 owner but I was shown that just by tapping the rear quarter panels you can hear that they added padding to the 2020 models. Apparently the early 2017 builds also has better padding.Any 2020 new owner noticed any cabin noise reduction as mentioned by musk’s twitters a few month ago?
Where/what exactly is this padding? Foam, dynamat like material stuck to the inside of the quarter panel, what?Not a 2020 owner but I was shown that just by tapping the rear quarter panels you can hear that they added padding to the 2020 models.

Easily fixed
