Yep I saw that one, I was assuming it’d be the same as the LRs - where the black interiors gated out first and then the white interiors. However it looks like that might not be the case because we’re getting updated delivery dates on white interior M3Ps as well.
Yeah but the temperature of the battery was the same as the 2021 M3P at lower SoC where it actually mattered.Unfortunately there is no useful comparison data in his test. Battery performance is *greatly* dependent upon temperature, especially when low temperatures are combined with lower SOC's. In addition, there are sophisticated software limits based upon temperatures, resistances, traction predictions, etc. that we don't know about.
This guy tested 3 cars down to 10% SOC somewhere in the middle of Siberia in vastly different weather conditions and just said "Oh, don't worry that the other car had a battery temperature of 28.5C and this car is at 8.5C, I don't think it will make much of a difference."
Yeah dude, it makes a difference. It makes all the difference.
Also note that when you crank up the cabin heat in a <2021 it heats the battery. But in a 2021+ it chills the battery. So if you really need to maximize performance in the snow, wear a heavy jacket and blast the AC to keep the battery warm.
It'll be worth the wait! The materials used for white seats are higher quality and are more durable than black so I'm really looking forward to the white seats, even though we'll probably be waiting a bit longer. Elon also chooses white in his personal vehicles
I'm similar. 2nd Tesla but I did M3P blue on white. My wife's car is a blue on black MX 6 seater unicorn - 90D w/FSD, free lifetime unlimited premium, and free lifetime supercharging. We have a bunch of kids so I'm hoping the white interior holds up like they say it does. I'm only planning on hauling 1 or 2 of the kids at a time in the M3 though...
