Anyone know or hear anything about this for the model 3? I hear it will happen on the Y in the USA soon-ish but I'm not sure if that's just going to be from whatever is made at the Texas factory or not.

Careful what you wish for. A new UI (V9) pretty much wrecked the MCU1 Model S cars’ UI performance. V8.1 that came before it had snappy performance , but V9 was designed for the MCU2 system and was sluggish on older cars.
Of course Tesla never attempted to optimize the code on older MCUs, but offered an upgrade to newer MCU2 for older cars. Paid for by the customer, of course.

the rear is doublepaned and so is the top. always has been, legal requirement and would look dumb if the glass shatters and cuts up the passengers.

Do I have my terminology wrong? Some say laminated. Whatever means "thicker glass" is what I'm trying to say. Front got thicker glass on the side doors. Heard the same will come to the rear soon as well but only for the Y so far.

I think you are referring to acoustic glass. It has a noise insulating layer between the two panes. It is currently in the front doors and I believe the windshield.
How likely do you think a retrofit will be offered for free? (I ordered my model 3 long range and it's coming in Jan 2022, it would suck to miss by a few months, but it also would suck to wait for a few quarters for nothing).
The thing is, it’s a company car so I’m not gonna fork a few K for a new unit. This kinda sucks…

The glass is all made by Saint-Gobain Sekurit so it shouldn't directly matter whether it's a Chinese, German, or Texan car. They'll just phase in the new glass as production rates and stockpiles permit. I believe the laminated glass is not tempered although tempered+laminated glass is apparently the next stage of auto glass evolution.
Tesla has formally announced the full list of near-term updates, most notably the faster infotainment processor, far side airbag, and "lifetime" lithium 12V battery so it's probably a pretty safe bet that most/all of the updates will be appearing in January US deliveries.

I pick up my M3P tomorrow and will let everyone know what it does and does not have.

I heard that all cars delivered after Tuesday will only have 11 speakers.

It seems that the new UI runs just fine on the current hardware. (Holiday update) Woohoo!
I think the new processor would mostly impact games etc to be honest
Would Tesla release 2 months of 2022 cars with none of these new features?
IMO I dont think so. I think we see these new features sometime around Spring.
It's anybody's guess, but that's what I'm thinking too. I'd be very (pleasantly) surprised if these changes started showing up in January, but I think Feb-April is more likely. Second half of 2020 seems a little pessimistic to me, but again, anything is possible with Tesla.
Musta got a bad one; my M3P is the MOST rattle-free car I've ever had and I'm 69 and have owned many of the usual German suspects!

I stand completely corrected, My M3P delivered today has been extraordinary. My Model 3 LR from last year (2020) was horrendous with rattling. The doors to the dash rattled intensely but after listening today I almost shed a tear how well built they’ve made the new models
