Exactly my thoughts and I'm finding it hard to believe. To be honest, its a big deal for me as I'm currently deciding between taking delivery in December or Feb '22 but if accepting delivery in December gives me the best of both worlds I will definitely pull the trigger and take the resale hit of a slightly older plate down the road. Trying to get actual confirmation from Tesla but receiving a wishy washy response via email.

Depending when delivery and registration in Feb, you might not even get that new plate!
There’s only one way to find out the 0-60 times when new Q4 owners get their cars. I don’t think my fingers can stop a stopwatch in 0.2secs though. Need one of those draggy gadgets.

I never got a VIN text ,but have delivery booked. I never even received a delivery text either until I made the appointment with them over the phone and made them manually send me one for confirmation!
It appears quite a few people never received those texts.
Spoke to Tesla CS again.
They've now told me, my August 2021 order for late November deliver will be "It will be the newly stated range" (directly quoted from Tesla chat), equally, with regards to 0-60 times: "it will be 0.2 seconds faster than it stated online"

Thanks for that! So if you didn't have a delivery text, how did you know your car was ready for delivery? Just continued chasing of Tesla chat/support?

SR+ Black/Black - Ordered 10/10/21 - VIN 11/11/21
In chat now. As above wont / cant confirm delivery as VIN is from source code and not on my account (can / may change)
They have advised they can't tell me which ship the car with the VIN i have is on, despite me challenging this as others have been told, he said he couldn't and finally thought i'd query the "new spec" cars and if they are in the Q4, current, deliveries :

Whereas my CS chat said it will be 0.2 seconds slower than the one I ordered.
I strongly suspect, that none of them really know.
Maybe they are watching this thread and enjoying the ping-pong of emotions
In Ireland it's year to year and split between first half and second half of the year.
For 2022 it'll be
Jan - June plate = "221" & July - December plate = "222"
Unfortunately this does have a considerable impact on resale here. So the difference of a December 212 car vs a Feb 221 car will be substantial down the road.

Basically yes. Everyone else was getting vin source codes and delvivery texts, so I phoned CS until they told me mine!

That's the same as what is quoted above - 5.3 WAS quoted online, now it says 5.8.
So 0.2 slower than your order, is 5.6. Same as 0.2 faster than what it says online today, is still 5.6.
Yes I never got a VIN until I'd paid off amount owing then I got VIN and Reg in same text I had seen VIN in source code though but never chased them
I ordered SR+ Black/Black standard wheels 28/9 and my vin has " J " as 8th character. Delivery 25th Nov. Trafford centre.Also got my VIN this morning, SR+ Blue/Black ordered 14th October.
No "J" in my VIN that previous commenters have said indicates the new battery (or motor?) or is that no longer what we're thinking?
Either way, I was happy with the stats when I ordered and this is part of buying a Tesla it seems. There will also be pros and cons any variant and I can't wait to get mine.
To me it would make sense the big jump in the delivery timeline on the SR+ soon after I ordered from Nov/Dec to Feb 2022 is related to the new battery rollout but that's pure speculation and if CS is saying different
Have I got the 60Kwh battery.
Yeah this was my feeling too, I thought I was going crazy. Keep hearing I'll get the "old" speed of 5.6, but it was 5.3 when I ordered...
Yeah, no, Performance is not getting any upgrades, and that is February also, it's down to demand, and production. More LR's are produced than SR+/P models, so the wait times are longer.Also got my VIN this morning, SR+ Blue/Black ordered 14th October.

You have quite an early Q4 delivery, likely yours was built just before the switch over, possibly an end of Q3 built car.

Ok guys, I called Tesla just now and I have been assigned a vehicle - WOOHOO.
Now then, I asked about the range, and to add to the confusion she said the car will have the "old" range of 278 not the new 305.
I'm going to just see what turns up on the day as we're seeing a lot of contrasting information
Ordered 11/10
Blue M3SR (standard spec)
Vessel is NABUCCO - expected 25/11 in to the UK
