    Hi Tesla Model 3 owners,

    I'm collecting my Model 3 LR AWS beginning of March and it seems it will be based on the new LFP batteries. In the UK there are not many LFP cars so nobody can actually share some insights on the rumours about charging speed and battery calibration.

    I was wondering if you have any feedback on
    - How are LFP batteries behaving in day to day usage
    - Can you charge LFP batteries at 150-200kwh at super chargers for quick top-ups (with preheating) Or they charge - as some users reports - at only 70-80kwh?
    - Are there any issues with reported range/battery calibration?

    Secondly - it seems that everyone is reporting LFP batteries are only on SR+ variant. I've ordered the LR AWD and a Tesla rep told me it's using the LFP batteries, as it's assembled in China. Can anyone confirm if LFP batteries are also used in LR variant?

    Thank you

    LFP battery (CATL) is definitely for SR+ only.

    Your LR "Made in China" should come with LG Chem battery pack.
