Not the Chinese LG but the next gen Panasonic (+5%). There’s a debate whether these have shipped in any 2021 cars yet Tesla (TSLA) is getting new battery cells from Panasonic with faster charging capacity - Electrek

That's a Norwegian car, and recent Model 3sales in Norway have come from China, not Fremont. Chinese-made cars have either the CATL LFP cells, or they have LG Chem NCMA cells, but the Chinese factory is not (yet) manufacturing RHD cars, so it seems unlikely that any UK models will have come from China. I've seen nothing on any of the delivery tracking to suggest we'd have had deliveries from China. Tesla have been selling Chinese-made Model 3 cars in Europe, mainly in Sweden, Norway and Denmark, I believe.

All LHD LR and P are from Fremont too. As far as we know only *some* SR+ with LFP batteries are from China. However it is still pretty much confirmed that LG Chem batteries are in European Fremont built cars. With a much slower charge curve.
Bjorn has already confirmed that the LR he has been testing has a Fremont VIN
Agreed, what I’m not sure of is if UK cars have the LG battery. Based on the range difference between the North American cars I believe they do. It’s potentially not all doom and gloom as Tesla are potentially monitoring the performance of the batteries, and charge curve, to make improvements in the future. Time will tell I guess.
2020.48.12.1? Then yes. Although TeslaFi reporting >500 awaiting download/install so looks like it may hit soon
Currently only have 2020.44.15 usually get them early so wondering why this one seems a bit slow
I usually get them early too. Still on 48.10.
I suspect that the fact I’ve only done about 20 miles since it was installed has something of a bearing.
I doubt I’ll put more than 10 miles on the clock between now and New year so I’m not expecting a further update yet awhile

Totally agree there may be improvements coming, otherwise some have nerfed performance based on luck of the draw. Still not sure if the SR+ Fremont cars are different batteries at all. My first supercharge was disappointing, but maybe not sully preheated.
I also got 48.12.1 yesterday and noticed the battery icon this morning when preheating.

If it has some fun in it, we can have our microwaved KFC Christmas dinner in the carHopefully straight to “Holiday update” around 22nd.

Surprised to hear it added display range to pre-2021 cars. Thought that was 2021 cars only.
I guess the battery heater icon is just bringing parity with Model S etc, rather than there being “unlocked” functionality. The car warmed the battery when preconditioning already.
I’m now unsure if it did add range. Pre update, I’d had the app open and woken the car. It showed and would have remembered the range which was 299. However, I can’t remember which of the four devices I checked on. I must admit that since the last charge and use, 239 is more realistic. Probably just me

TeslaFi records the rated range for each firmware update so easy for anyone with TeslaFi and 48.12.1 to check.
