so.... HW3 or HW4? And what battery is in there? =)
HW3 and LG (Non LFP) battery. Looks like I have a range of 350+ (similar to prior version).

Thank you for the news. I was expecting my Tesla be the same as the ones deployed in Europe, which are exactly as the one you received. It looks US gets the same one, build in US but the battery from Shanghai. Although some would say it’s not worth this version, I am still going forward and can’t wait for mine. I only hope they changed a bit the stiff suspension and made it a little better for a smoother ride. Can you tell me about the ride on bumpy roads ? And what about the cabin noise ?I took delivery of the Model 3 Long Range today. The car is in excellent condition with no panel gap issues. It's not a LFP battery. The charging screen shows only charge beyond 90% for trips. Currently, the battery is at 68% with an estimated range of 240. If you divide 240 by 0.68, that should be an estimated range of 353. I recognize this approach is not perfect.
This range seems to be similar to the prior version. The service advisor (when I called in) indicated this was a LG (non LFP) battery. He also said the car does not have HW4 and my build date was 5/25/2023. I'm not sure how to independently verify its not HW3 (just let me know if you have ideas).
Yesterday you said the math indicated when at 60% charge, that proportionately 100% charge might show 353 for range- have you reached 100% charge yet and if so what did it show?
Thx.
I have not been on any bumpy roads yet. The ride so far has been comfortable. However, I may not be the best person to ask. I normally keep the suspension on the sport setting. Overall, the cabin has been quiet. I did experience some static noise isolated to the interior passenger side yesterday. If it shows up again, I will request service.Thank you for the news.

Just an update.Just saw some Tweets that are very interesting. Apparently HW4 in the Model Y do not have Radar, but the S and X do. They also made it sound like it could be some time till they do get Radar in the same thread. So it seems everything is up in the Air right now.
Model Y HW4 Tweet
I mean I can see them slowly transitioning to HW4 like they are with the Y. But it makes absolutely no sense to start up the LR production line for just a few weeks just to shut it down again. Unless they are using those who really wanted to get a LR as a way to clear out old inventory parts. Which to me would be a bad way to treat those who were dedicated to the LR. But at this point, it is all speculation.I just noticed that the M3 order page now shows expected delivery times of June - July for all three trims. Didn't the RWD and P show a one month window for the past several months? Makes me wonder if there is indeed an upcoming production pause for a refresh/HW4/anything else they aren't going to tell us about in advance.
Alternatively, maybe it is a way to use up LG batteries while the plant that usually uses them is shutdown for transition.I mean I can see them slowly transitioning to HW4 like they are with the Y.

Either way, that is not the best way to treat customers who’ve been holding out for the LR.Alternatively, maybe it is a way to use up LG batteries while the plant that usually uses them is shutdown for transition.
Treating customers well has never been Tesla’s priority. That won’t change as long as they remain such a dominant force in the EV space.Either way, that is not the best way to treat customers who’ve been holding out for the LR.
The Tesla sites says deliveries since 4/18/2023 get the full credit...This just in--based on the language on Tesla's site, everyone is saying all M3s get the full federal tax credit now. Can that be a mistake?? What about the people who just took delivery of LRs that qualified only for half?
I just don't know how that can be when we know the China LG NCA and LFP battery packs don't qualify. Did the rules just change?
