I have a 2018 M3 (non-heat pump) but following all things Tesla I have been watching the journey of people in super cold climates (I am in moderate PA) with complete failures of the heating system.
I saw a twitter post (sorry. didn't catch the specifics) that indicated Tesla was pushing a "fix for our heat pump friends both M3/MY". What got my attention about this post was that it actually caused a heating failure in non-heat pump M3's like mine. Some indication on these issues that failures can cascade to do actual damage to hardware.
1. Can anyone supply the software version numbers of those recent fixes directed at the heat pump failures ?
2. Does anyone know a definitive way to tell from the VIN (or otherwise) whether an M3 has the heat pump or not (I have a neighbor with a newer M3)
3. Can anyone confirm problems with such a software upgrade causing a problem in an older non-heat pump M3, if so which software release number?
