No no no! I ordered 8/30 and still waiting because I didn't complete my financial tasks before 11/29. I am convinced you'll get a car when the demand gets lower than the number of cars produced, in 2060.... Do not wait if you wanna actually get in line.

Got a vin: OD 11/19 MSM 161xxx Feb 1-5 pick up. Anyone know if it has Ryzen? SA was not helpful
I was assigned a VIN today with the same 161xxxx and 2 different SA’s told me it had Ryzen and new battery
My OD is 11/24. MSM /black/aero/no fsd. As of now my date still showing the same.
I think one should wait for a VIN then start the loan application. For example, DCU requires a VIN to finish the loan. Plus this way you don't need to worry about the initial approval getting expired and having to pull the credit twice in the event of order delay.
On Tesla side just choose "Cash" to get in line and switch to finance after the VIN.
You do realize that the CPU and GPU set used in The current models s and x are 10x more powerful than the AMD chips soon to. E used in the X and Y. While there is a slight performance improvement over the intel chip, this is still a 5 year old legacy chip. “I’m glad I got this 10 year old chip over the other 10 year old chip” will not be words said of Tesla owners in 2027. There is going to be a much faster, newer, modern chip that will replace BOTH this RYZEN and ATOM chip.
Perhaps you are confused because you were misled by erroneous reporting on early speculation such as this article from a popular Tesla reporter:
“If the reports are accurate, Tesla uses the same CPU found in the latest Tesla Model S and Model X: a custom Ryzen YE180FC3T4MFG. The chip features a quad-core 12nm 3.8 GHz Zen+ CPU with 4MB of L3 cache.”
Nope. The “reports” we’re not accurate. This AMD Ryzen chip is not the same one. It would have been awesome and well worth waiting another 6 months if it was, but it’s a lateral chip replacement with a faster Netflix launch time and higher battery drain (less range)
Have you seen the video of the guy navigating around the UI? The Ryzen CPU is crazy fast. And I'm not just talking infotainment, but sentry loads and navigates INSTANTLY. The map looks awesome and is super snappy.
Linked the youtube video below, but if the link is removed (sorry mods!) as not allowed, search "2022 Tesla Model 3 with AMD Ryzen MCU 3 on 400 Mbps Wi-Fi"

10 year old chip? no... the Intel in the current M3/Y is about 5 years old. The AMD Ryzen APU is current gen, at least as of 2020.
AMD didn't even introduce Ryzen to the market until 2017, and their embedded APUs even later, so it has to be fairly current.
Do you have a link to somebody who's determined what is in the new Y/3 Ryzen based MCU?
you don’t even have to do that. My SA told me not to worry about choosing cash and then switching it, I was assigned a vin without filling out any financial info.
But also, now that my hold is off I’m putting cash lmao because I’m trying to do anything that may push that EDD up haha.
Yes. I said it’s a 5 year old chip today. And then I said in 2027 (5 years from now) the idea that any 10 year old chip is going to function that much better or be “future proof” than any other 10 year old chip in a modern era is kinda silly.
Yes. I have the “new” AMD chip going into the M3/Y today is the 1st gen 2017 model you mentioned
Sure, which will help the infotainment and I guess the map? So that's a fair point. But the sentry footage navigation...that was fan-freakin-tastic. One of my biggest annoyances was how long it took to open and navigate sentry footage. It became a huge issue when I would leave a place with a bunch of alerts and just wanted to double check them.

It seems there are teardowns and parts lists that confirm the MCU-Z from the refresh s/x are the same as the 3/Y.
In 5 years will my Playstation 5 be way better than my Playstation 3? Yes, yes it will. But more importantly, its better now.
If you were told you could have a car with a PS3 or a PS5 in it, for the same price, right now, which would you choose?
I’ve seen that the CPU is not the same as the S and X AND even bigger issue is that neither the 3 nor the Y has the GPU which is what really brings the power to the screen.
Of course anyone would prefer a PS5 over an earlier generation for the same price. But the analogy is poor. It’s more like you get a free PS3 with your Tesla today but if wait an extra 3 months they’ll give you a PS3 slim instead. Yeah, the pS3 slim is a little newer and faster but it’s no PS5
I can’t comment on sentry mode because I don’t have that much experience with it, and only a feature I intend to use very rarely because it consumes a ton of juice.
Thers a thousand YouTube videos on the model 3 and y infotainment screens from 2020 and 2021 including the maps and UI and the only complaint is that Netflix is slow to browse but once you start playing the video it’s amazing. If you plan on browsing Netflix in your car frequently that this is a serious issue to take into consideration.
I would just keep in mind that like over a million Tesla vehicles have this Intel Atom chip and Tesla won’t break it anytime soon.
