Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

[moa999]

Was just talking about the trend of this year.

Tesla added Ryzen CPU, and rear heated seats, automatic trunk as improvements last November

The Ryzen CPU >>>> Atom.

You can still play games with a game pad by splitting the USB port in the glovebox.
Pretty sure wireless charger is still there.

At some point in the future the cameras are going to be upgraded to 5MP, probably alongside HW4.

And knowing Tesla there will be other changes that are brought in every quarter.
Maybe a V2L port given the competition has it and the CT will.

I just received an email from Tesla saying I can now upgrade to enhanced autopilot.. I find this rather amusing considering I don't yet have a car to actually basic autopilot, let alone have it enhanced!

But, just in case, I did log into the app and then the webpage and noticed that my disappointment is still living well..

Got this as well... but can't seem to see the price of the upgrade. Anyone know?

The time I spent here is making me a bit more depressing than ever.

Has anyone tried the VedaPrime service and found it useful? Need some useful insights to make me less depressed.

Sounds like you are moving from level 4 to level 5 in the 7 stages of grief, we’re here for you brother….

Ryzen CPU, rear heated seats and automatic trunk are bigger and better changes compared to the second list above. I'd take bigger changes like that if smaller insignificant things are taken away.

I strongly disagree with your last sentence and would be gobsmacked if 2023 models are less equipped than 2022 models...just won't happen.

I didn't say the 2023 model will be less equipped, I am saying July 2022 model is less equipped than the Jan 2022 model.

If there is no annual update in 2023 then the 2023 model is likely to be less equipped than the Jan 2022 model.

I am not comparing it to the 2021 model though.

Was just talking about the trend of this year.

Tesla added Ryzen CPU, and rear heated seats, automatic trunk as improvements last November and this is the "so-called" 2022 model 3.

Since then it has removed

• Radar
• USB data from console ports
• lumbar support
• dedicated graphics
• data cable from console ports
• OBD power supply
• mobile charger
• Lots of games that require a gamepad

If there's no 2023 face-lifted model 3 then it's highly likely when your car is delivered it has less functionality than what Tesla offers in January 2022.

I also believe the long range only comes standard with the 18 inch rims, instead of the 19 inch. 19 inch are a option

There are quite a few games removed from the car because of the data port removal.

What quarterly changes have we had since Jan this year? Apart from the list I compiled?

Yep and that too.

All good but I disagree with all of the above to be honest.


All the best.

Hi @dogstarlady , your order date data on the Teslike form is incorrect and has borked the form. Could you correct it at Teslike Model 3 Order Tracker

I've seen some people try to argue that the Ryzen runs hotter and draws more battery usage. But I'd imagine the difference is negligible at best

 

[dogstarlady]

Yep and that too

Ordered last Dec, but 19 inch wheels are part of the package - not an optional extra.

 

[Hoopyfrood]

Wow. So Tesla really took the time to update us on what we could spend money on and not our orders huh. Yikes.

You could disagree there won't be a 2023 model coming but you can't disagree that July 2022 Model 3 is less equipped than Jan 2022 Model 3, this is a FACT.

Yes it was later made optional during this year.

They reduced the km range of the cars to account for it on the LR and P's, it was between 11km and 22km reduction from memory.

The km loss is negligible and improvement in the performance is massive.

I was actually hoping for it to come next quarter, it looks like the Y I have on order is on the same vessel!

Gosh.... going to be an expensive month for you lol

 

[Hoopyfrood]

Current state of waiting room optimism.

Maybe. Might not take both cars, the 3 coming early complicates things a bit.
