I think he is suggesting an April fool’s joke.

Funny, I remember you taking delivery of your Model 3 right around same time I did back in 2018. I sold mine in early November (36k miles, $47k to givemethevin), and am scheduled to pickup my MYP this Saturday. It looks like we are on the same cycle.

I believe current policy is you can hold for a max of 30 days, and only within the first 90 days of the order. I'm not sure if you can hold on day 89 to push it out another 30 days to maximize, or not. Either way, your desired delivery date would be far out of the hold window if ordered today.

Did you have a VIN?

It looks like a lot of us have EDDs in the second half of march. oD 11/4 here. And current EDD is 3/18-3/31. NJ

Those look like induction wheels to me. If so, another LR variant.

This guy does a great job of mapping out potential range and performance improvements with the 4680s. He uses actual math...I know.

This will be like the Intel/AMD (and similar) changeover for quite awhile, where you won't really know what you'll get until you're assigned a VIN. You'll be "promised" the minimum, which is the current spec, and hit the lottery if you get anything more with a 4680 build. My guess is they won't...

carsdirect may be pulling the wrong numbers. Currently listed curb weights for 2022 non structural battery pack are 4363lbs for LR and 4398lbs For MYP, per the Tesla site.

Interesting if 2170s are coming out of Austin, as it counters what was said on the Q4 earnings call by both Elon & his crew.

Yes, it’s the US site. They updated it around the end of last week. The curb weights dropped a little, and also are now different between the P and LR. Possibly taking wheel/tire and brake weight differences into account now, or accounting for the lithium 12/15v replacing SLA. Nobody knows what...

Current curb weights on the Tesla site are 4363lbs for LR and 4398lbs for the P.

Agreed. I am suggesting that the spec change on the website does take into account the 12/15v lithium battery (and wheel/tire + brake differences between LR/P), but not the 4680s. I should have been more clear, thanks for keeping me straight!

Fwiw, the images of the vehicle structure on Tesla.com still show the “old” non-structural battery pack design. The brakes and wheels on the MYP are heavier than the LR, so perhaps they are simply getting more granular with the specs while also updating to include changes such as the above...

Haha. "Nobody could find the VIN"
