No, it’s not a software issue. All non LFP cars say not to charge to 100%. You have 2170 in your SR so you get the 2170 software stack which says not to charge to 100% even though it might be safe in your car. That is a separate issue. If you have LFP you get the LFP software stack and the notice that charging to 100% is recommended.
Id trust Tesla installing the right software vs people in sales center every day. The installers know which battery is in there and choose the software based on that info. They make M3 SR at the same time with LFP so I’d think they know the difference.

Well considering they lowered it from 90 to 80, Tesla has reason to believe that 10p% is harmful to the battery. If you want to ignore it, you are in the minority and the warning should stay there for the rest of the users who haven’t a clue and will complain about degradation following constant 100% charging.

When it comes time to replace the battery, it will be an old car, deeply out of warranty. By then, there will probably be plenty of aftermarket shops willing to put whatever battery you want in the car.
If there was a new law that said you can only have ONE Tesla, which would you keep and why?
Notice in the attached picture VIN slot 7 is fuel type E for regular (cells) and F for LFP!
No, that isn't true. The only thing ever there is an E for Electric.
The NHTSA decoder says that F is invalid in that position. https://vpic.nhtsa.dot.gov/decoder/Decoder
And here is a link to the official Tesla 2023 VIN decoder document: https://vpic.nhtsa.dot.gov/mid/home/displayfile/7404ccb6-76c0-4d3f-a0b3-59f7db3aa617
Which shows position 7 can only ever be an E.
The VIN has no indication of the type of battery.

If you want to discuss something like that, you should create a new thread. This is not an appropriate thread for that discussion.
Actually, this is apparently changing for 2024 - 7th position will show an F for LFP battery, E for non-LFP. Way overdue, IMO.

I meant to say the 2024 model year, not necessarily calendar year 2024. So once they start shipping cars that are model year 2024, they will have to follow this protocol with the VIN, since they have registered a change. In the past this has typically changed over in mid to late November, but that doesn't seem to have happened yet, at least based on postings here.
Interesting that that doesn't match the 2024 VIN decoder on the NHTSA site:
It shows that the 7th digit can still only be an E...

So which one is to be believed?
Theres no dates on the documents so hard to tell which one is most recent but both are on NHTSA website.
