Ah, seen!I just clicked on the X link and the first photo, It does indeed look like USS are there, if so, I'm in.

2 different cars, no comparison. There is a reason the Y is the worlds most sought after car and not the 3. Personally I have always changed cars every 3 years for the last 40 years. Our Y is over 3 years old, I will wait for Juniper even if it takes a year or more.Who would buy outdated MY if new M3 is available?
True but it would be rough when people see cool features like 2nd screen, slick look, cool interior etc.. on M3 While MY is old.2 different cars, no comparison.

I agree except 95% of people have no clue about the new model 3 or Juniper. Only people on these forums or those scouring the web for info know about it.True but it would be rough when people see cool features like 2nd screen, slick look, cool interior etc.. on M3 While MY is old.
It's not going to be pretty for MY sales.
Right until M3 is available. When they see those sude by side... I predict rough ride until MY is updated.I agree except 95% of people have no clue about the new model 3 or Juniper. Only people on these forums or those scouring the web for info know about it.
The M3 reviews are starting to come out and the key changes are the very big improvement in ride quality and how quiet the car is. These are 2 of the main complaints with the current versions and why I will not upgrade our Y until Juniper is available.Right until M3 is available. When they see those sude by side...

Yeah they are all pretty positive too which is good. I'm guessing North America will see it in the first half of 2024.The M3 reviews are starting to come out and the key changes are the very big improvement in ride quality and how quiet the car is.

You mean a Highland (wait ... isn’t this a Juniper thread), where did you see it?Saw the first M3 on the road this morning
In Dubai...and since my last post I have seen quite a few more. So I guess the deliveries are starting.You mean a Highland (wait ... isn’t this a Juniper thread), where did you see it?
As much as I would like this I think it is very unlikely. It would require redesign of all the sub systems. Im expecting MY to be brought inline with Highland.IMHO it's really more about better mechanical and electrical engineering iteration up to lower amp/higher voltage architectures - which must be done if they have any hope of getting costs down over time - along with shorter charging times and other important elements to make better BEVs. Software and especially AI/FSD is a much more complex and mercurial journey IMHO. But I take your point.
I'm hopeful that some of the tech we're seeing introduced in the CT will filter it's way into the M3/MY platforms as well. I think it's too late for the Highland M3 since that was primarily updated/re-engineered over in China - but there's still hope that we might see the 800v/48v architecture make it's way into the Juniper MY update especially given those same engineers are all in Gigatexas where the US MY is built. Fingers crossed.
Agreed it's unlikely - but it's more likely than the M3 Highland update here in the US getting this same tech. A buddy of mine thinks the M3P due out next year may have 48v/800v, but I'm more of the mind that the Juniper CT refresh would come first given the sales volume for the MY is much higher - and moving to the lower amp/higher voltage platforms would save Tesla quite a bit of money during manufacturing, if they can get the suppliers to adapt that quickly of course - which is why Tesla wrote an entire manual for suppliers on how to convert parts over to a 48v architecture. Again, unlikely, but possible at least. Ultimately if Tesla can get the suppliers to adapt - this accelerates the potential robotaxi/M2 model at a lower price point coming to market.As much as I would like this I think it is very unlikely. It would require redesign of all the sub systems. Im expecting MY to be brought inline with Highland.
Do you lease? and if you get business tax benefits by leasing? If not then you must be taking a big hit on $$ if you change cars every 3 yrs. Since you have been doing it consistently for 40 yrs, I was wondering what is your motivation to do so? Modern cars don't get OLD in just three years. Just curious because I tend to keep cars until I run them to ground. Would love hear other perspectives as a learning experience.......Personally I have always changed cars every 3 years for the last 40 years. Our Y is over 3 years old, I will wait for Juniper even if it takes a year or more.
Wonder how long until these changes cascade to the US.
I speculated here Jan 25:Wonder how long until these changes cascade to the US.
