No pics for now, but picked up my M3P earlier today. White/Black. Overall smooth experience. Build quality seems great, interior seems put together very well with no squeaks / rattles. There are no paint flaws that I can see. VIN is 167xxx, it does have the Ryzen as expected.
Initial impressions from behind the wheel:
1) The seats are very comfortable. Much moreso than my dad’s Model S (2016).
2) It’s going to take me a little getting used to having to look at the center screen for speed.
3) Steering wheel is surprisingly small diameter
4) Ride quality is much smoother than I expected - however prior to this I daily drive a fairly modded E46 M3, so my baseline for comparison is probably a bit different than most
5) The car is fast, but not mind boggling in terms of acceleration. Again, I did come from a fairly heavily modded e46 M3, so my basis for comparison is a little different than most. Definitely glad I switched my order to the performance in light of that though.
Overall definitely enjoying the car and pleased with the buying experience.

According to that spreadsheet my VIN is there and I got one of the last Intel Atom processors lol. Mine rolled off the factory 1/6. I fully believe someone refused delivery on it. Man I lucked out.From what we can see - 16XXXX vins seem to be mostly all coming with ryzen and etc.
Also - look towards the bottom of this tracker:

How do you know you have an li-ion?Wanted to update on this. Despite my SA insisting that my car had lead-acid, it came with li-ion. In case it wasn't obvious from the slew of Ryzen deliveries, if you get Ryzen you get li-ion, even if your sub-par SA insists otherwise
On that note, took delivery of my white/white yesterday and the car seems perfect! Truly an incredible machine, and absolutely gorgeous.
I'm seeing an M3P with a 177xxx VIN just like mine on the Tesla update tracker with Ryzen, Lion battery, and dual paned rear windows. Crossing my fingers!

If that's true I should've received a VIN by now lol
Congrats! What was your order date? That's the same spec I'm waiting on.
If you have Ryzen, you have li-ion. But if you want to be 100% sure, you can pull the plastic covers out of the frunk area and take a look.
Well I had originally ordered an LR on October 23rd, but I changed my order to the performance on 01/19. Not sure if that counts as a new order or if I was put ahead in line.

You open the frunk and pop off the plastic cover above the frunk. It's just held on with clips. You'll be able to see the battery in plain sight and "li-ion" will be printed on it. It will also look different and smaller than a typical car battery.
I have no idea that’s just what my SA told me but they really don’t know *sugar*. The lack of transparency and information is mind blowing from a company with a trillion dollar valuation.
