Compared Tesla trade in to Carvana. Carvana offered 5K more. It increases coordination complexity but worth it for the 5K

when I first joined this forum a month ago people were saying that Tesla would match a lower rate if you found one is that no longer true?
I will be picking mine up in Minneapolis. Still no VIN for me. OD 12/21/21 for MSM, white, 18" aero. My EDD hasn't changed a single time.
Not sure if this has been tried before, but would anyone with a confirmed AMD be willing to supply their full VIN? I am digging through their available source code for their parts catalog and it gives the option to supply a VIN. I want to see if we can test this method to see if there is differing part #'s.

And further from my order dates of 12/10 and 12/28. Sigh.

Any info for Croatia delivery? Koper? Model 3 LR AWD
That is no longer true (this is fact).
My opinion on why that is, is because of actions from people from TMC (this part is only opinion).

Selling privately is honestly a cake walk. Took less than a week to sell my BMW and the offer I got was 5k more than what teslas estimate was.
New member here but have been lurking for a long time while waiting for my order. I received my Model 3 LR VIN yesterday 175XXX and wasn't even going to check on the chip/battery assuming it would have the upgraded components. After seeing some of those comments this morning I decided to reach out to Tesla to verify and I was told my "Infotainment" is AMD but the battery is the older battery. I also reached out to my SA via text and was told the same thing.
Everything I've seen so far suggests the LI-ION battery/MCU go hand in hand so either I'm a unicorn or the info on one of those components is incorrect.
Everything I have seen in both subforums (model 3 and Y) suggests the same thing, that AMD processor goes with new Li Ion battery.
Tesla has a real case of the "osborne effect" happening here, imo, but they didnt cause it themselves. They actually try to prevent it by not telling anyone about upgrades, which is how a company prevents the very real osborne effect consequences. This being 2022 however, you cant hide anything for very long.
For those unaware of what that is, its basically a manufacturer has "the new thing" and people want it so will no longer buy "the old thing" without consessions.

Hey all! Brand new to the forum and Tesla ownership. Ordered my M3LR on 2/2/22, estimated delivery window is 3/7-3/31. Fingers crossed EOQ motivates them to make that window!
Yeah it's pretty hard to hide changes like that for long in 2022. The other VINs I've seen around mine for the Model 3 appear to have the AMD/Li-Ion setup so I'm assuming the battery info the SAs have is incorrect.Everything I have seen in both subforums (model 3 and Y) suggests the same thing, that AMD processor goes with new Li Ion battery.

Ruh roh... Here I was thinking those 2 were now a safe bet but it sounds like they're making Frankenstein cars now to get rid of the old parts that people otherwise were rejecting in the lower VINs!
Thanks for the heads up I'll be sure to confirm when I get my VIN.
Yeah I won't be picking it up for 2 weeks so I'll update everyone then whether it's a Frankenstein. I was surprised to see both my SA and and Tesla customer service agent confirm the same thing independently.
