Mixed Model year parts

[jordanp123]

Anybody else out there recently got a model 3 that is a "mixed" unit? I got my second model 3 about 3 weeks ago and while it has the single pane glass and the original interior style it does have the heatpump. Just curious.

interesting....

does your VIN contain an L or M in the tenth digit

Yes, internally at Tesla it is referred to as the 2020.69 model year

How do you know that it has a heat pump?

haha, I had a jeep that was the same way, a grand Cherokee, had a heck of a time getting parts for that thing because of the mixed years.

Just be aware - the "non-heat pump" Model 3's have an A/C compressor with a big heatsink that sure looks like the heat pump. It's pretty darn large.

Here's a "non heat pump" Model 3 under the trunk tub....

Mine looks very different, it also roars very loudly from the front fan when the heat is active, you can feel a large volume of air being moved through the front ventilation shutters.

If you took the frunk out, did you take pictures of your model 3 with a heat pump? I am sure people would like to see pictures of what a model 3 with the heat pump looks like under there, especially since you mention it looks significantly different.

I didn't though it looked very similar to the pictures of the model Y I've seen floating around. Once I'm back in town from work I'll try to take some pictures.

Would love to see that too, maybe that will motivate me to take my frunk out...I got my model 3 at the end of Sept.

That would be awesome - thank you!
