I see some of the badging things and it got me to thinking. Sadly I was unable to find any variant of "heat pump" or "heat pump powered" badges already in existence. This is the first model S with one after all....

My Tesla is in Miami and I have a residence about ten minutes walk from the Coral Gables Store and Service Center.
I am in Rio de Janeiro most of the time.
Because we all seem be here, I'll ask this here. Has anyone posted pros/cons regarding a new M3P vs refresh LR? I tried a simple search and found M3P vs Plaid, but I'm trying to understand the thoughts of someone who has experience with the M3P and LR. Am I by myself in contemplating which vehicle makes the most sense?
I have the same car spec'd as you, my order is 11395xxxx, what is yours? I still have no EDD and I'm in Texas.And my Tesla account has been blank since June and now it changed today to "Sept 20-30." This is why I think it's actually a nice, real update for hundreds or likely many thousands of Tesla MS orders. As someone also said, they've probably received most or all of the missing parts required to build xxxx number of Tesla MS Plaid & LR to deliver for EOQ rush by the end of Sept...so they decided to update pretty much everyone's accounts (hopefully with somewhat accurate and reliable info & est dates) to fulfill as many "older" MS orders as possible. I was told a week or so ago by our local SC Mgr & RM that they were told by Tesla Corp to expect "mid-Sept - mid-Oct" delivery for me...and voila, today, my account updated to 9/20/21 - 9/30/21...so hopefully it sticks and my order isn't pushed to the 4th QTR, so I can finally take delivery in Sept.
It is Wall Charger installation day!
What?! You mean they didn't give you priority for the more expensive model?! No way!

You've listed the reason why your order is not getting Tesla's immediate attention. They're prioritizing price changed orders. I can attest to that as I have two orders in the same config - one with 21 w/ price change and the other with 19 wheels w/o price change. Now 19" order has a delivery window of Sep 5-25 and the 21" wheel order had a window of Sep 6-25 but this morning the first date slipped back a day and is now Sep 5-25 which is following the pattern listed here by some where the first date keeps sliding a day back. Clearly, tesla wants me to pay $14,500 for the car I want. Extremely disheartening to see Tesla doing this. I honestly do not know how some people here have the patience to deal with this since some have been waiting for 9 months.

I think to most, exterior styling is a large factor as well as overall size/interior space. The S (longer wheelbase and air suspension) is going to have the better overall ride quality. More interior room. More interior cargo space. Acceleration is going to be more than anyone needs with either car. Both will be very fast acceleration. Both have high top speeds. Both have great handling. The advantage of the M3P is no yoke wheel and it will still have stalks.
Mine arrived yesterday. Currently getting quotes.

My VIN is in the 430 range. It's been solid as well. In some ways, it feels like the early cars were built carefully, then when the ramp up started things fell apart for a little while? Hard to say without a larger sample size.
My EDD pushed out 5 days, which is fine, but perhaps troublingly extended a week.... updated in my signature and on the spreadsheet. I'm taking a beach day today, so I won't be around to banter back and forth here. Probably for the better, anyway

I drove a 2020 Model3 extensively this week and I can tell you it’s way way way less comfortable/plush than the refreshed MS, feels like a car that’s 50-100k less, frankly. 2 diff classes. If you are slanted towards the S as is, the 3 will disappoint.

That makes sense except the last sentence. It is not an advantage - maybe a preference is a better word. After 6500 miles on the yoke it is an incredible non-issue. Drove a loaner prefresh yesterday while they were adjusting my car. Hated the wheel and stalks.
The S and M3 or two different cars. Reminds me of the 3 series and 5 series. Both great cars but purposed differently.

Plaid, white on black, CF, 8/27/21, Track Pack
Estimated Delivery: September 13 - September 30
Front end moved in 4 days closer.
Is there a advantage over this compared to the one that comes with the car? Mileage per hour?

If pattern others have identified holds, you should be getting VIN today or tomorrow. My range continues to narrow, from 14 days at the start to 10 days now. Counting on VIN in 3 more days. At least that’s what I’m telling myself.

This is based on 6 weeks of ownership and my style of driving.
The one that comes with the car:
- Using the 110 as supplied with the car is days slow for a full charge. Trickle charging would probably be fine.
- Using a nema 15-50 adapter with the supplied charger will speed it up some.
Wall mount:
- I take it down to 30% some days and it will recharge to 85% in approx 4-5 hours.
- I leave the car supplied charge in the car so it will always be with me. Less hassle to bag up each time.
- Wall mount is cleaner
To me it was worth the price because I want a clean area and I use it a lot every night. All that was worth the cost to me.
