SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

[mcstravis]

I had my Pre-delivery online meeting today (30 minutes + 90 minute Q&A). I don't think they do this in all areas but they should, very useful. Apparently they do a Post-delivery meeting as well a couple of days after you've had the car.
Several questions about AMD Ryzen, the guy said SA don't have any way of knowing if the car has it until it it arrives.
I'm guessing some of the SAs giving the info either have a connection to the factory or are just basing it on what they've read on the web.
I can't do much about it anyway so I'll find out when the car arrives in 2 weeks!

Got Vin and delivery schedule today. 155XXX. Confirmed intel chip. Put reservation on hold until 1/30. Fingers crossed for AMD by then.

I did ask my SA about the car. She said it is not a rejected one . Somehow the customer couldn’t make it to pick up ?

Thank you! I also asked my SA and he stated the same. The car was manufactured just “last week”.

I'm picking up my car this Sunday. I got some clarifying details from an SA. I guess he was assigned to me since my previous SA no longer works for Tesla.

• 12v battery in car is not lithium-ion.
  I assumed this since Ryzen and lithium-ion seem to go together.
• Front USB ports do not carry data and "there is no retrofit for this matter".
  This is absolute BS on Tesla's part and it should be a much bigger deal than it currently is. I think not enough people are complaining about this. Who needs 7 charging ports in their car??!
• LFP battery
  I knew this already, not sure why he had to mentioned it again
• Confirmed the Intel processor again
  thanks...grumble grumble...

Front USB ports do not carry data - sorry i may have missed it but what does that mean for the car? Can these ports be used for usb gaming controller or to wire charge phones?

Thanks for the update. Don't worry, it's not necessarily bad news, you'll get longer range with the Atom, and honestly, whatever chip comes after the Ryzen will be better anyway, and you'll likely be able to upgrade to that instead.

I'm also due to get one from Langley soon, but I just wish it was still NCA battery, since it gets very cold sometimes where I'm from.

Wonder if this only apply to SR or all 3/Ys

I'm also getting a Richmond Special, but pickup is Langley. EDD was Feb 12-Mar 12 for a while, but now it's been delated (but contracted) to March 24-31. I'm hoping this means I've been soft-matched.

Similar to your EDD, I got mine updated this Monday to Mar27 - Mar31

USB gaming = no (a controller sends data back and forth)
Charging = yes (and only charging).

Good to know !!! When my SA called , she said the car already at the delivery center.

Call the pick up location and they can check internal tool to confirm your build date and car arrival to the location. Hopefully very soon. Keep us posted please. I am also picking up from same location with OD 28 Sept.

Same config as me, I ordered a week earlier and everything got rolling this week. My edd was 2 weeks earlier than you. Patience, you'll be up soon!

Since the ports only charge, that means some USB-controller games probably won't be installed either (like the Sonic game and maybe Cuphead). You also can't use them for Sentry mode, music, or boombox sounds. Eventually, Tesla will enable bluetooth controller support so it'll be less of a big deal if you want to game...but still, only the one port in the glovebox can be used for data-functions. Beyond dumb.

[cfbackrow]

I got my vin in the source code today...does that still work as a precurser to delivery?

Good to know, very useful info, thanks! So with new kind of battery, we are able to do daily charging to 100% right? Just like your phone
