TL;DR Late 2022 and 2023 are essentially the same, 23 slightly better suspension. 35k is good miles.
1. Later 2022 models have AMD, all 2023s have AMD. You definitely want AMD, it’s quite a big difference in responsiveness and there are multiple updates that intel doesn’t get. I don’t personally use USS but some like it, it’s different park visualization. The 2023 has a slightly comfier suspension but it’s nothing crazy, 2024 was the bigger upgrade
2. All seasons are fine for me, but depends how bad it gets over there
3. That’s relatively low mileage, battery warranty is 8 years from manufacture or 120k miles
4. Not necessarily, but definitely check out the interior

look for a Performance if the price is right

i would, but i definitely drive a lot and the long range would be goated

I personally find USS a lot more useful than the camera detection in day to day scenarios. Sometimes in weather the cameras become jank and aren’t as accurate. It also won’t tell you the distance you are from something. Really if you find the model you want and the 2023 is the around the same price, just know a 2023 isn’t really anything different at all.
Mileage on the car doesn’t matter, just look at any scratches, damage, interior and ESPECIALLY battery health / degradation. sometimes some leases or demo / rental vehicles get abused like crazy and I’ve seen some on the Tesla website with low mileage like 20k miles on a 2022 and they get crap miles at full charge. Buying through Tesla is seamless as they tell you the battery health but if a dealer or 3rd party won’t test the battery health, tell them to give you how many miles vs percent it’s at and you can calculate a rough full charge. For 2022/23, imo if around 50k miles or less, 9%-15% battery degradation is normal, with 15% being on the higher end imo. Just know it levels off eventually so it’s “harder” for it to degrade after you hit the first years of degradation. My 2022 I got with 44,923 miles, and gets around 285 full charge, so I got it at around 89% battery degradation. I used the Tessie app and they said around 89% and I calculated just by doing 284/315 = x/100. You can test it officially via the car but I don’t have L2 charging.

2022 M3 LR here in MN. Random thoughts. I've had it for two winters now. With Michelin crossclimate2 winter hasn't been a problem.
I was expecting Regen to be an issue in the snow but haven't had a problem yet. Suspension gets stiff when cold. Also range will roughly half at -20F and improve as temp increases.
My mid year build date got the AMD processor.

Get the AWD. No regerts from me. My '25LRAWD drives amazing in the snow. I plan on getting the Cross Climate 2's next, it will drive like a tank.

I'm looking to get it through the pre-owned tab of the tesla website, is there a way to ask for battery health before i place my order? if i end up getting one delivered, i'd like to know the battery health before i pay the $500-$1000 delivery fee. Do i just leave a callback request?

AWD is definitely what im looking for. Do you have the normal tires or the sport wheels? do you think if i had the sport wheels i should change them to regular ones?

It still has the OEM Michelin Primacy's which aren't bad but not a good snow tire. I would have worried if I had only RWD. We just had a foot of snow in a day and went to work no problem.

Look at the estimated range, that’s the range you’ll get on a full charge. When I bought it it still said EPA range so a lot of people felt scammed! They fixed it now to be more “truthful” with condition.

Check this one out near me. 252 mi range instead of the 315 EPA. That is an estimated 252/315 = x/100, x = 80% roughly, so our battery degradation is around 20% for 47,751 miles and a 2023!! Although it could be plus or minus a few percent, that is not totally optimal and a few signs it was driven hard. Now imagine if you got it when Tesla still showed 315 EPA range and you get 252mi on a full charge!

Dang does the 2023 really have Comfier Suspension? Everywhere I looked Said the only suspension change was with highland? I just got a 2023 so if it is a little comfier that's awesome!

It is softer than pre 2023, but still harsher than the highland. Congrats!
