Model Year 2022 Refresh M3/MY

[ay221]

Ah so you got an "old" new car lol. There's always something new around the corner, best to enjoy the car now. New battery tech will be the most significant upgrade but that's a while away.

Is that like a year away, or even further?

AMD Ryzen is here on 3/Y!!!

12v Li Ion Battery too!!

Exciting to see. Interesting that the rear glass wasn't laminated though. Perhaps the rest of the updates will trickle out over the year.

There’s no guarantee the updated MCU will land in the first Q of ‘22. Infact, you could be waiting several quarters.

Tesla don’t do model numbers or yearly releases. What’s happened here is they’ve filled papers for upcoming changes with zero indication of when they are likely to land.

Equally, it’s likely a retrofit will be offered.

People with existing orders are likley to get the current MCU until the stock is depleted and the manufacturing line is altered, and they’ll likely only do that once production of the new MCU is at full scale.

There’s no indication when those changes will land. It’s likely they will be drip fed in, like the new batteries on the SR+ and LR.

Yes I was told by multiple reps that I would have HW 3.0 but 2.5. Only problem I experience is slowness w/ infotainment

I wonder if retrofit will be offfered 2.5->3_>?

Just been looking through the source on tesla.com and found reference to \"New Perf Trim w / BT43 GF03 SOP 1/1/2022\" and \"New Perf Trim w/ MI02 & Battery\"

For reference, this is a 0-200kph pull of a M3P 2021 showing battery power, front power and rear power.

• The orange front motor has its peak power later, but quickly drops afterwards
• The grey rear motor peaks early, but then pulls very linear. This curve should be 16kW higher in 2022.
• The blue line is battery power, which shows that peak combined power is highest at around 90kph.

Looking at this graph, the peak power of the front and rear motors is higher than 158kW and 239kW respectively. Combined there is about 420kW of power.

Wonder what this is in reference to exactly.

You missed the updates above and yesterday on this perhaps, glad to see more and more coming in as expected. Gives me hope my M3P coming in the next couple of months will have these and the other 2022 updates.

This is great. Now I'm just hoping for the laminated rear windows before I take delivery in Feb/March.

i took delivery monday and didnt have a ryzen chip.

 

[FauxOperator]

A guy on reddit took delivery yesterday, VIN 139XXX and did not have the Ryzen chip but did have the new 12v battery and front camera housing. Seems at the moment it's like playing the lottery as to whether or not the chip will be in the car. Hopefully in the next couple of months it becomes standard as they exhaust the old Intel Atom infotainment systems.

 

[Freedom]

can someone post a pic of their current housing? Every pic online of the new vs old seems to same to me

 

[Sporty]

Nope. The "hairpin wound" has to do with the windings on the stator. It uses square copper instead of copper strands so you get a tighter packing of more copper in a smaller space making it more efficient, and don't need to tie/stitch it in place. (This is something the Sandy Munro was wondering why Tesla hadn't adopted this yet, as other OEMs had already.)

An example of hairpin windings:

Oh … that’s nice looking. I don’t know if the math shows if that’s a better motor or not, but I want one!

Hi

I've placed an order for a model 3 LR, with an estimated delivery of June 2022.
That being said, i'm quite confused about the current "state" of the changes. What upgrades will my M3 have, compared to a 2021 or 2020 Model 3?
If new stock comes in, i was thinking of buying now instead of waiting for June. Would i be missing out on some upgrades that i'd be sure to have in the June Model?
I live in Switzerland, if that should be relevant.

Thanks

...upgrades...

Recent changes:

12V Lithium battery
MCU3 with faster AMD Ryzen chip

Delivery in the USA is currently mixed: some with and some without those charges.

It's possible that it's more consistent in EU for the new changes by now.

 

[ThomasTM3]

Yes, i've been reading about the new 12v battery and Ryzen. I did a test drive with a 2021 LR 2 weeks ago, and while the Infotainment was fine while driving, it was extremely slow when trying to use the browser, youtube etc.
I'd definitely want to get one with the Ryzen. So far, i haven't found any confirmation of someone getting the Ryzen in EU.

Take a look through this thread I moved your post to. It includes a discussion on the changes.

@jjrandorin
Thanks for moving my thread. Not sure how i missed this one.
Since the rollout of the new upgrades seems to already have started, i'm pretty sure i should be safe for my June delivery.

 

[milesr3]

Does the 2022 have a black centre console again and darker wood?

 

[ThomasTM3]

I'm pretty sure they just used old pictures. I've watched a few yt videos of people picking up the 2022 version in December. All of them had the upgraded interior (so no piano black anymore). That's just what i saw in the videos tho. Maybe someone else can confirm or deny.
