Model Year 2022 Refresh M3/MY
How do you know, did you measure? The 2021s did not sit low, even compared to LR and SR from the same model year, as shown in the video linked earlier in this thread. Then there's something crazy with my M3P because mine has gotten numerous comments now from other friends owning it where it...

#567, #568, #571, #576.
Plenty of evidence.

I was anticipating a way more bumpier ride with the 20" wheels and Pirelli tires. I can feel the bumps in the road a little more than I did in my ICE car, but it isn't that bad at all. Tires are pretty quite too.

Just a heads up. I did see a Reddit post yesterday where Tesla refused some type of warranty work because the suspension on the car was aftermarket. I'll try to find the link.

That's good to know. I think aesthically it doesn't look as nice as the Michelins. I heard the tire wear was not great at all though. What car(s) did you have in the experience? I think many of the people complaining about the ride quality might not necessarily of came from performance oriented cars. Having a lot of 3 series and Hondas\Acuras before that, I don't think the Teslas are harsh at all. I can imagine one thinking so if they their experience was with cars with soft suspension though.

I think I saw the same post here. I think they had control arm issues. I don't blame Tesla in this case as any other manufacturer would do the same thing.
Evidence, yes. Not plenty. I'd love to be wrong here. The best evidence would be for someone to take a look at the part numbers that should be stamped on the springs and compare those.

Did the battery pack also change for 2022? If so, is it lighter or heavier?

Wooohoo! I had opened my app, saw no EDD change then closed it. Then about 10 seconds later I got an email about the final payment stuff. Opened the app again and saw the new EDD. Ran back to my PC and checked the source code for the VIN and it was there. Hopefully it updates on the account soon.
Tried calling Tesla to get them to open the financing portal for me but their hold time is over an hour. I requested a call back via the IVR.
I'd pitch a fit personally, the Magnuson-Moss Act covers this exact scenario unless they can prove that aftermarket parts caused the failure.

That is where I will be getting mine as well. Let me know how it goes and congrats again.

There's part numbers in there. They added a "c" or something at the end IIRC. You should look at manufacturer listed dry weight if you want to look at the true weight of the car, not a certain part as you don't know if they offset it in other ways.
Here's another example of height:

My apologies if this has been asked and answered already, but will the Model 3 be getting the 4680s concurrently with the Y? I'm about to pull the trigger on a M3P or MYP order and this is one of the deciding factors. @RVAC and @civicdrivr are both correct. There's been no indication at all...

There's certainly a good amount of people who think it's the tire. Many of these people have measured both cars and have owned both versions. I would choose to trust them over people who just assume so because of a perceived wheel gap. I have owned PS4s in my M3. They are much bigger than what is listed. A 235 PS4 is closer to a 245 than 235. Maybe even 255.

Normally I’d agree with that but the Tesla upper control arms are a bad unit that will likely fail under the stock suspension setup which has happened a lot. They repack the grease in them after certain intervals during service visits.

A Honda and a Lexus. Thankfully the roads and highways where I live are in good shape

You can certainly do so and will most likely lose. You will probably not want to incur the expense nor wait it out in court for years to see your case to the end. All you need to do is put your case against Tesla, BMW, Audi, Honda, etc.. Not too bad if you have some high powered lawyers on retention. /s
The key detail is that "aftermarket parts" as used by the Magnusson-Moss Warranty Act means OEM equivalent parts (fit, form, and function). It's not a license to mod like many car enthusiasts seem to think it is. Mods are not "aftermarket parts" covered by the Magnusson-Moss Warranty Act. I hope that provides some clarity.

Perhaps that was a bad point, but you can say that suspension travel that isn't OEM could exacerbate any failures. Also, who installed the part? Is it a certified mechanic?
Let me add, I have modified MANY, MANY of my cars. Changed out suspension on almost all of them up into the last few years (getting older, different priorities). I have gone as far as removing the entire engine block to get the block resleeved, titanium rods, port polish the heads, new cams, valves, valve springs, etc.. My disclaimer is I am not anti-mod, I just understand the risks that come with it.

How would it compare to your Lexus (also which one?)
edit: P.S. Another example of ride height (not aimed at you directly)
Model Year 2022 Refresh M3/MY
Picked my car up yesterday and just about managed to photograph my battery sticker. Part number looks like 1660112-09-G? And measured the ride height. It's around 720mm / 28.5".
