Things to check

The heat pump arrived with the late-2020 (2021 model year) refresh; earlier Model 3s, including pre-refresh SR+ cars, lack it and lose more range in winter. autocar.co.uk
The Model 3 now receives the same HVAC heat pump as the recently launched Model Y
Chemistry differs by build: LFP Standard Range / RWD cars can be charged to 100% routinely; Long Range NCA packs prefer lower daily limits. recurrentauto.com
Standard Range / Standard Range Plus cars built from roughly 2021 onward generally use LFP (lithium iron phosphate) packs, which Tesla recommends charging to 100% routinely
Battery warranty is 8 years; mileage cap depends on variant (120k mi for Long Range/Performance; check the specific car's remaining cover). recurrentauto.com

How we got this: Argus: Tesla standard range cars used 'a combination of nickel-cobalt-aluminum and nickel-manganese-cobalt cathodes' before the LFP switch; Electrek (https://electrek.co/2021/10/21/tesla-moving-model-3-standard-range-to-lfp-cells-fremont-cell-production-closer/) says the Fremont-built SR+ was the last standard range car not yet on LFP.

UK/EU SR+ cars built in Shanghai from ~2021 used LFP instead.
