Tesla Model 3 in New Zealand

[FlyingKiwi]

So just to check, as I understand it the new Model 3 SR+ that you would receive if you placed an order today will be coming with
Ryzen Processor upgrade
Heat pump
Double Layer glass in the doors (all of them?), anywhere else?
LFP battery @ ~52 useable kWh
the refresh cosmetic bits.

Any other recent(ish) changes that I should be aware of?

I dont think the 3 has double layer glass in the rear passenger windows

Yeah, just the fronts it appears. And they don't appear to help with sound deadening either, so not quite sure what the point of them is.

The current Model 3 SR+/RWD has LFP battery @ 60kWh

With about 57kwh available. It's a bit of a monster Imo. Just slower than the old one

The ones coming next month are potentially more efficient than the late last years Unicorn model since it has a different motor.
As far as I'm aware it's now a 3D7 motor, 194 kW / 340 Nm torque.

Tbh I would have preferred more acceleration rather than more range. The extra range will be marginally useful on road trips while the charging infrastructure is built out, more acceleration is useful around town and for the life of the car.

You may also get heated wipers on cars ordered recently.

Hoping this will just be a ‘boost’ upgrade in the future!

Not really something I'd ever need or notice tbh, maybe useful to those in the deep south I guess.
If car is preheating while I'm eating breakfast any light frost would melt anyway.

 

[Matt_NZ]

Yeah, not really an issue here but more for parts of the world where it drops to -20C and the wipers can freeze to the window while driving

They might be useful if you happen to leave your car out on a frosty morning but as you say, preheating is likely to be enough to melt away anything in our climate.

Anyone got the Sentry Mode Viewer software update?

Not yet

 

[Ecoli]

Not yet

Sentry mode viewer, I'm starting to wonder if we will ever get it

The no show maybe be due to sentry mode viewer ability to speak via the car
Which would most likely utilize boombox/PWS for this, which isn't installed on any NZ or Au cars
If that is the case Tesla probably has low priority coding something specifically for NZ/Au market

No, the physical motor has changed to the 3d7 motor, it not a software limit this time around.
