How has the battery technology progressed in the model 3 from 2017 to now? Is it the same, or has there been improvements? That said, when can we expect a serious range jump? Like the north of 375 miles?

The battery tech in Model 3 sold today is more advanced than a Model 3 from 2018. The Y will have newer battery tech than a 2018 Model 3. Cell chemistry has advanced. 3/Y are about see 3rd iteration of cell tech by end of year easily.
It’s hard to discern how or if these cell chemistry changes are visible to the customer. For example, they could be to simplify manufacturing or increase durability.Cell tech is tweaked over time. The version of cells shipping today are slightly better than what was in a 2018 M3 pack. That's Tesla at it's core. Constantly changing.

A major increase to range will certainly happen but that’s not likely right around the corner IMHO.
With future Tesla's equipped with longer range batteries selling at the similar or even cheaper prices than today our used Tesla prices will go down faster. Sad

I'd rather see advances in charging speeds and lower costs for existing range.
I assume new batteries will be possible to retrofit into existing M3s. I would love this to happen.
Why would you assume that? Tesla doesn't offer such a thing in any mass production model- and it makes 0 sense for them to do so- especially given they are production limited by batteries, and also haven't got nearly enough service centers for CURRENT service demands.
They'd made a ton more $ putting new batteries in new cars and selling the whole car than they would wasting service center time retrofitting new packs in otherwise working used cars (and then being stuck with a bunch of used packs they don't need or want).
