I think the site is broken actually. If you notice the app also seems to be missing info. (I can hope right ?

I ordered my M3P on Friday 1/14, the site said for March delivery. I got a text the following Sunday, your VIN is here, complete your pre-delivery tasks!
I got caught up in all this talk about the new Ryzen chip and gave my SA a call, she said the Ryzen chip has not been officially announced by Tesla, bla, bla, bla... So I called the SC and asked them to check the car, I got the same statement almost verbatim... So no, my car will probably not have the new Ryzen. It was built 1/10/22. Anyway, after watching the comparison video of the MY and M3 Ryzen vs Intel it made me wonder, is it really THAT slow? I've lived with my M3 SR+ for almost two years. So I went out to my garage and played with the map. The video shows a lethargic map, NOT in my M3!, I could pinch and scroll pretty fast, dare I say it's pretty snappy! WTH? Why is it portrayed so badly in that comparison video? I'm connected to a FAT wifi connection in my garage, could that be some of it? I was out driving today and did the same experiment with 3 bars LTE, same result...pretty snappy.
BTW, Netflix does load pretty slowly, but once loads it's pretty snappy. I do watch Netflix on rare occasions when dining behind the wheel.
Please understand, I get that buying the latest makes a lot of sense, future proofing is a big reason; but, would not having the new Ryzen destroy the value of this car? Will I suddenly have people inquire "does it have the new Ryzen chip?" and then walk away in disgust? It's a beautiful Model 3 Performance for goodness sake! 0-60 in 3.1s! <grin> *with 1 foot rollout* LOL!!!
Here's another odd observation, all of those Model 3's sold just months ago without the new projection headlights, are they not beautiful cars? Maybe we should wait for the new 4680 battery? You know the M3 has been out for several years, should we wait for the new model 3?
This is getting really weird.

Someone probably rejected that VIN because of ryzen or something and it matched his order and lived nearby so they assigned it

I guess for me if I knew it could be retrofitted down the line, I’d be less concerned. The atom might be fine today, but I plan to keep this car for at least 5-6 years, I’d rather not have the infotainment outdated on day 1. The lithium battery I don’t care as much about.

Just got another update this morning of 2-4 to 2-16. I'm wondering why it keeps getting pushed up. I thought east coast deliveries would be a little later in the quarter not mid quarter. Really hoping it has the updates otherwise I'll need to pass on it.
Woke up today to a new edd.
Its now changed from 3/19-3/31 to 2/25-3/25
Also my trade in updated and is showing the quote, but i cant accept it yet.
Update:
Latest EDD as of this morning went from 1/28-2/23 to 2/2-2/14. Order date was 12/26 - M3P, MSM, Black, No FSD. Seems to be tracking exactly as my SA indicated. He is showing the car arriving in DFW on the 4th or 5th with a pick up date of 2/6 or 2/7. I am expecting a VIN within the next few days based on that timing.

I walked into to our local Tesla store and met with someone before ordering my car and have stayed in touch with him since the beginning.
