Yeah it does seem strange I guess we'll know when them deliveries start happening.

Ahah sorry the person I was trying to quote didn’t work.
They say the range is 360miles, and the M3LR is about 4.4mile per kw so would that not mean the 360 range is an 82kw battery?
Great informative forum!! read through some of the last few pages. I think I'm pretty similar to a few comments I've read, I ordered an M3P white/white 17th September, business finance lease ALD, delivery date is estimated as December. Anyone got a bit more idea of if these are true dates? I keep hearing that they are prioritising the "top end" models. Is this true or media hype? I have spoken to CS and they haven't got the foggiest bless them!
From what I gather if you have your VIN number then the car is in transport. However you'll find it harder to find anything else out until you get the text asking you to book a collection date.
No, unfortunately not, literally placed the order back in Sept and left it up to them, only 1 phone call to see if they has a firm-err delivery expectation but they can't be sure. I'm in no rush, but nice to know what's going on. Not sure if its because its a lease that I'm left out the loop?
I ordered my M3SR+ on the 3rd Oct when the estimated delivery was Nov. I phoned CS about a week ago and they said it was likely to be delivered late Nov, early Dec. I don't have my VIN yet (not showing in the website source code), so I guess, like you, I have some more waiting to do.
They are keen to ensure orders are met for Q4 so you should have it by the end of December latest, unless something unexpected occurs with transporting the cars here.
Thanks for the guidance.. Appreciated. Not sure how I take the "unexpected" seen as we are in 2021. Crazy things have happened. What kind of time line is the norm for getting a VIN through?
I don't get this to be honest, I've worked in automotive and components change from time to time. A lot of the time down to Dual sourcing , also they will have slight updates where cars will get improved components (for experience not always the case) and the car makers just don't mothball older components unless they are defective. There are some European OME's (some NA I've heard also) that are going back to analog from digital to save on Microprocessors I wouldn't be happy with that as a consumer but they have people in Queues for those also many are non the wiser.
That's just the way of the world unfortunately. I get it a battery is fairly substantial and then it's the consumers choice wither they want it or not.
Throw your Dice.
Since Q3/2021 all LHD LR that came to Europe mainland have as motor type the letter K. This is the new 3D7 Hairpin rear motor / Drive Unit Cat 2.
I haven't seen a single exception from this for the LR. SR and P are going back and forth between old and new motors even in Q4. The Model Y is only certified with the new motors and therefore is always equipped with them.
Well, there's all of these guys from the UK with RHD LR all with K's.
What is the 3D7 Hairpin rear motor / Drive Unit Cat 2?
Have you had a Model 3 LR delivered in the last 4-6 weeks/Q3?
K here too. Picked it up on the 30th Sept.

I’m not going to cry about 15 extra miles of range or whatever it is, but for what it’s worth, I have B as well for that character on my LR VIN.
But out of curiosity, what was your Vin in Europe with what I assume to be the bigger battery?Well, there's all of these guys from the UK with RHD LR all with K's.
