Apologies if this is already covered, although couldn't find much.
I'm considering a used 2021/22 Model 3 possibly instead of the new one on order for various reasons. If i'm not mistaken, both 21 and 22 seem to get all the best facelift stuff - de-chrome, double glazing, heat pump, power trunk, etc, while the differences between 21 and 22 are relatively minor and not always an upgrade in the 22, so I think I can live with either.
But now I'm discovering looking at VINs in inventory/private ads that I'm also choosing between US and Chinese built cars. In UK it seems only very early 21s are still US, so most are China, so wouldn't be a big deal there, but over here many/most 21s are still US-built so would narrow my search considerably if they are to be avoided.
I see a general consensus here that China builds them a bit better. But is that really true? Is it a big difference? Any reason to avoid US altogether and narrow my search? Anyone with experience of both?
Cheers
