For M3LR Q4 owners who may be disappointed about the likely supply of the LG 77kWh battery vs the newer 82kWh Panasonic on the M3LR in the EU. Something to cheer you up.

just watching this now, thank you for sharing, cheering me up some what!

anyone know what the line and dots mean on the screen in the M3? Think it must be linked to battery performance or something.

Is it reasonable to say that the telephone CS people are more helpful than the online ones? I used the online CS support yesterday and didn't get much information and I am thinking of phoning instead.

Having seen others with identical spec (SR+ Blue, standard wheels, black interior), who ordered after me, I am getting a little worried that I might not get my car this quarter (having ordered it on the 3rd Oct). Do you think a phone call would help?

If this is your spec, you’re the exact same as me. I ordered a week later than you and when I called CS I’d been assigned a car (VIN comes via SMS they could not confirm on the phone).

Get on the phone to them tomorrow mate.

The dots are related to amount of regen available. The less dots the better the regen.
It's impacted by both state of charge and more importantly battery temperature, i.e. if a lower batter temp and/or high state of charge the less regen is available to be gained when driving.

Below is a useful link on how it works:

Why does my regenerative braking on my Tesla Model 3 sometimes become unavailable even though the battery is half full?

Ordered on 6th October, RN received on the 12th October - ordered as a company car via ALD. A guy at Tesla had let me know a week or so ago that i'd had a reg provisionally assigned. Spoked to CS tonight who said I'm down for 29th Nov delivery. Very exciting! Just need PodPoint to pull their finger out and sort out an install date after 3 weeks of chasing them.

Has anybody done insurance with the just the VIN

You can’t. A reg is needed. You can get a quote but you can’t activate it.

Those with SR+ VINs for Q4 delivery, what does your dashboard show on your Tesla Account? I wonder whether some Q4 Model 3 deliveries say “2022 Model 3” here rather than “2021 Standard Range Plus” as an indication of newer battery?

Same as you

Mine is 2021 model 3 on the dashboard. Changed after I found the VIN in the source code. (Together with the Bluetooth notification in the app)

Nope, mines the same as yours; VIN appeared in code on the 2nd Nov. Not that I have an actual confirmation of the VIN of course.

Cheers, I guess I will have to chase Tesla for a reg plate.

All SR+ models get the same LFP batteries. The 8th letter in the VIN being J indicates the efficient motor, rather than the performance motor (indicated by the 8th VIN letter being A).

It was just agreed at board level to favour range over speed. Thus, 2022 models will achieve 305 mile range and 5.8s 0-60 via software update.

Tesla have explicitly told me my Q4 order is not the 305 mile range variant regardless of the VIN having a J in it.

3 CS advisors told me this same thing.

Just got my address confirmation text... 6 days after sending my address via text might take a while

Think the new battery will trickle in…. As opposed to there being a cut off of the old

Yeah, I know. I’m just disheartened as I’ve been told many times by Tesla my car will be the 279 range vehicle. Being delivered late November.

This is how I've done it... Gone through CTM, got a good quote with Churchill, and then saved the quote on Churchill's website. Should last 30 days!

Worry not. Although SR+ VINs with J are ultimately the 305 range (already being delivered in EU), it’s likely the UK J VINs have software that keeps the range and speed as listed. I’ll let you know exactly what my J does soon after I take delivery on 26 Nov.

I was hoping for an A just so I can “boast” about having a performance motor

So not only will I not have the rear performance motor, I’m not likely to have the 305 range either!
