2020 model year Model 3 discussion

[Tes_Singapore]

My car was ordered on 8th September 2019 from the Hong Kong Website. I live in Singapore. And I don't have any idea if its 2020 or 2019. Anybody want to help me guess?

Hi, new here. I'm from Switzerland, ordered my model 3 Performance on October 25. Just saw the VIN this morning in the source code of the web page.
Interesting fact, the digit 8 is 'C'!? Any idea why? I read that AWD and P+ have 'B' as "dual motor".

Put the VIN in here: VIN Decoder | TeslaTap and see what it says

That is super exciting for you! Awesome! Enjoy it!

Not gonna lie though, it irks me that the same car ordered 5 weeks after mine will be delivered to a different continent before mine is likely even produced.

Thanks diamond.g. With the result I was able to found this:
Tesla Model 3 in Australia

PhillyDoc: of course I'm!! C is much better than B! ;-) Without joking it realy seems to be a good news!

Not sure to have it before you. There is some water between us, and several country to cross before arriving in Switzerland. I may have it before!!

i dont remember tesla promising "first come, first served" when ordering the car.

It's not even worth arguing the logic behind this.
I hope 3 months of vehicles that were ordered after yours are delivered before yours. Then lets chat.

I think I saw somewhere on these forums that the 2020 models include some PPFs on the rockers or something like that. Has that been confirmed? It’d be nice to have some paint protection built in...

The perfect thing to do while waiting the eternity until delivery. The Model 3 screen emulator. Still V9 though.

Has anyone compared/verified the cabin noise improvements between MY2019 and MY2020?

Do you remember where you read that information ?

I searched through the forums and I can't find it anymore. Maybe I just dreamed it up b/c it honestly seems too good to be true My bad, unless someone else can find it...

NICE! Get to practice the UI!

NICE! Get to practice the UI!

There's a lot there to learn, and it's good to be a bit familiar with it for the drive home. Even better, pull out the manual and follow along.

I heard rumor the 2020s will have the fake noise generator at low speeds installed. Can anyone verify that?

That has been a thing since Sept 2019.

Well, that is not really true. Mine is a week old BY2020 without the sound at low speed.

Interesting. I wonder if the NL has different rules on the sound. In the US it is (will be) a requirement by the end of 2020.

What letter precedes that number (in 10th position)? K=2019. L=2020.
