I was thinking the same thing. They've had the LR range next to the P3D speed for a long time.

So it must be getting a battery from China like the RWD?
It sure sounds like it. Range dropped 25 miles as well. Definitely a disappointment, but I'll still keep my order.

It keeps saying page unavailable when I go to manage the order. Anyone else having this problem?
I just had this error, but was able to get in successfully an hour ago. Maybe they can't handle all the LR traffic.
So finally got the changes to go through, so what are the disadvantages to having an LFP. I saw some people on here not too happy about it. While watching comparison video, many people said that being able to always have the RWD at 100% was a great advantage. Do LFP get the full speed at Super Chargers? It doesn't seem to have taken at hit to the 0-60 time either for the Long range.

Most likely the LG made cells they use in the Euro market cars. It’s a smaller capacity like 79kWh vs 82kWh for Panasonic cells.
(moderator note)
After seeing a couple of posts here about it being back, I clicked the tesla website myself and saw the LR available to order on 05.02.2023. Thread title changed to reflect that. Note that I am not an insider or anything, just a regular owner and volunteer mod here at TMC, so I dont get any inside info on this type of thing.

No one knows for sure until more details are confirmed, but LFP doesn’t make sense if it has more range than the RWD with a less efficient dual motor setup.
Well that has to be the stupidest pricing for the LR 3. After tax incentives the LR Y is LESS expensive with greater range. Why would ANYONE buy the LR 3? The LR Y costs an extra $3k over the SR. The LR 3 costs an extra $7k! over the SR 3
I think the thing many people do not consider is that not everyone is going to get the full $7,500. If your income tax is less that 7,500 then you do not get the full $7,500. Plus, when I quoted insurance for the Model Y it was a lot more expensive per month over the 3.
There are still people who would rather have a Sedan than an SUV. Just like any other manufacturer of product, they price things for what they want to sell. They (Tesla) obviously are wanting people to buy model Ys, or at least not buy model 3 LR in large volumes.
People that don't qualify for the tax credit (make more than the income limits), potentially.
I have to assume Tesla knows these this as well, it's kind of obvious, so this implies either upcoming price changes before the launch of the new Model 3 or they have really limited supply of the new Model 3 (that seems very likely)

If your income tax due is less than $7500 you probably shouldn’t be buying a $50k+ vehicle….
