Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

Quick update. I got a text yesterday asking me about my current car, and that a trade in appraisal has not been completed yet. I was originally going to sell my 2021 M3LR on my own, since a month or two ago they valued my car at $41300, which was laughably low...

I just got a text today that my account was open to submit trade in information, so I logged on and had to upload a few pictures and submitted my trade in request. I am fully expecting a lowball offer that Tesla is known for, but I will let you all know what they say. My current car is a M3LR MSM/Black, Autopilot, Accel boost. I was offered 53k a couple weeks ago from a local dealer, but hoping Carmax will give a little more. I will shop for some offers once my new M3P gets delivered hopefully in the next couple weeks.
Update on my trade in offer... they offered 41400 for my 21 long range model 3 with acceleration boost and 25k miles. No surprise there... I'll be selling separately then!

Took delivery to the M3P and happy report that all USB-C ports are present and functional. Wireless charging pads work fine.

Couple of notes - fit and finish still not great. Paint is nearly flawless in comparison with my ‘21 M3LR but panel gaps not so great. Door window panel on the driver side of the car is noticeably misaligned/higher. Frunk panel gap uneven and I noticed the same on many others in the lot.

Could be either my imagination or the differences between ‘22 vs ‘21 or M3P vs M3LR but it Seems like there is a bit of fine tuning on the dash, wood trim shape and vents as well as slightly different shaping/depth of wood trim on the front doors. The material in the inner door Handel also seems to be softer to touch.

Pics?

I test drove a Model 3 Performance on Friday and I am pretty sure it's still a late 2021 (2022's likely too new to already been used as testers).
Either way, the interior refinement was there, I could 'feel' it, compared to the 2019.

The door trim seems to be more recessed into the door then I can recall. Can’t be certain…
