Definitely the removal of ultrasonic sensors. Probable removal of the steering wheel stalks (web site images still show stalks). Outside chance of a powered frunk. Possible Steam integration.
If you're waiting for a VIN you'll get a 2023. You can confirm that by looking at the VIN when you receive it. The 10th digit will be N for 2022 and P for 2023. They skip O because it can be mistaken for a 0. The only 2022 vehicles that Tesla has on hand are the ones they built and didn't deliver to the customer yet because it would have required expensive expedited transport at the end of the quarter.

I would assume not. The car runs Linux, and that should cover both AMD and Intel hardware. Of course, the AMD hardware is considered to be good for gaming, while the Intel hardware is not.
I'm assuming that bluetooth controller support will arrive simultaneously with the Steam integration work.
Access to Valve's Steam gaming distribution service from the car, allowing people to play a huge array of games on the car's screen. It's one of those things that comes from Elon being a gamer. Some games are free and some much be purchased. Anyone already owning Steam games will be able to play them through the car when and if the integration ever happens.

If you have the Long Range it’s most likely NCA chemistry
Thanks, I know it is likely.... i'm trying to learn how to confirm with certainty?
The Nickel Cobalt Aluminum (NCA) chemistry is used pretty much everywhere in Tesla's vehicles. The only exceptions are the Model 3 Short Range, which uses Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) batteries, and the new Model Y that has the 4680 batteries, which use a Nickel Cobalt Manganese (NCM) chemistry.
Here's a quote from the Model 3 Owner's Manual
"Some vehicles are equipped with a Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) Battery. To determine if your vehicle has an LFP Battery, navigate to Controls > Software > Additional Vehicle Information."
Here's what you'll see in a Long Range (left) and Short Range (right)
There's no way to predict your VIN date. Your EDD will certainly move a bit before you see a VIN. Anyone who doesn't have a VIN will definitely get a vehicle without ultrasonic sensors. Tesla said that they would be removing them as of this month.
Why would you reject a 2022 VIN?
You want the 2023 so you can say it's one year younger when you resell it?
Well. I just sold my 2021 that was delivered last Nov, they were already delivering 2022 in other markets. If I had refused the car and gotten a 2022 it would have been worth $3800 more. I don’t agree with that anymore than pricing houses at a price per sqft. Just because it isn’t right, doesn’t mean it’s not the way things are.,..
Makes perfect sense to me. Why wouldn't you want a 2023 MY vs a 2022? It will make a difference on resale.
Damn, so that means If I decided to opt into FSD once I receive the car, I won’t even have most of the features until further notice?
