LR and P 3ās are both Decemberā21 EDD. I bet anyone who orders a LR/P 3 right now bumps a SR+ reservation holder into next year, as higher margin LR/Pās bring more refrnjo/profit.

Second that.
Panasonic intends to begin test production of the 4680 battery cells in Japan by March 2022.
I have a MY LR w March - April 2022 delivery date. If the 2022 Model Y is hitting the market around the same timeframe, can I get the 2022 model by postponing my delivery? I donāt know much about battery technology, but a potential upgrade to 4680 battery sounds very attractive.
Iām curious in the past how Tesla handles those buyers who missed the new year model just by a few days. Thoughts?
They donāt handle it. Plenty times when 3 came out they dropped the prices periodically and many many people were pissed off at them because theyāve payed much more for their cars just days or weeks prior.
We might have some model year changes ā¦
For M3 SR+
- Range increased to 272 miles from 252/263
- 0-60mph increased by 0.5s to 5.8s
- SR+ trim name dropped.
All speculations from what we see on the updated site as of this evening. Discord members helped point it out

Also,
M3 LR went down from 353 to 334 miles and Iām seeing 267 mi on SR+ ???
Bet there will be a Software update very soon
EDIT: Uh huh, changing the wheels selection bumps it up to 358 mi and 272 mi

Still fugazi range estimates as far as Iām concerned. Like anyone is buying a Tesla to drive it like a Gen1 Prius.

Which is so strange. LR gets 7% range loss and Base gets 2% range loss with the same wheels. How does that work?
The same way weāve been keeping track of money since coming off the gold standard.
Strokes on a keyboard.

Modern mileage theory?

All to make people feel better their SR+ is now .5 sec slower and cost $4k more.

worst part is the āoldā SR+ was advertised at 5.3 and real word was 4.9 0-60. So if this new variation estimate is accurate then its nearly full second slower for 10 extra miles of range.
Weirdly many have pointed out that this one is lighter then previous āSR+ā

The weight difference would bridge the gap closer but not that much. From 1.84 - 6.7% is pretty hard to justify.
Unless Tesla somehow cut over 200 #'s of body weight in other parts of the car, not sure how they are packing in more range with the heavier LFP chemistry but barely increasing the vehicle weight. IIRC, the SR+ LFP cars were nearly 200 lbs heavier than the NCA battery cars and they had 9 miles less rated range to boot.
Do people really care about this? Is it common for Tesla owners to participate in car chases when this second matters?

Everyone I know including myself does. 1 sec. is a big difference, +10 miles in extra range is nothing.

Especially since lots of Tesla owners think of their cars as āperformanceā carsā¦even the lower range versions. A Bolt owner probably wouldnāt give 2 shits about its 0-60 being nerfed 1 second, but Tesla owners are a different breed.
