The cars don't have to leave the Texas because the paperwork is done out of state. I've heard Cal and Nevada technically do the selling. There is no law that says the cars themselves have to leave the state. Weird how that rumor got started. Sure had a lot of traction though.

I talked with a SA in Austin a few weeks ago and she said that they can ship to SC, home, or maybe a factory pick up. The cars won't be shipped out of Texas and back in. Also, there were confirmed deliveries to employees. Those cars never left the city...

The paper transaction will go through another state like Nevada. The car will go directly from the Texas factory to your house or SC.

I've changed my direction. No longer holding out for 4680 and now saving for 18650

I think Tesla will reverse on removing the MC. But in the meantime, everybody should look for rebates and tax credits for EV Charger installation. My rebates and tax credits cover 2/3 of my WC installation.

One thing for sure, when I trade in my Model 3 for a Model Y later this year I'll keep my mobile connector that came with the 3. I haven't used it in 3 years but I want one in the car.

Solar System dominance!

Does California have laws that affect the paint? Not with regard to color but drying and/or hardness? If yes, then Shanghi, Berlin and Austin could have better.

Tesla does not have to do that. They have the paperwork transactions done out of state. My Model 3 transaction was to Nevada. According the the SA 3 weeks ago, we will have the option of pickup at SC, home delivery or factory pickup.

According to the SA in Austin, there are 3 possible delivery methods to Austinites, Home, SC, or Factory pickup. They haven't worked out the details. That was 3 weeks ago.

In the beginning I was overly obsessed with wanting the 4680. Then I realized that Tesla's Flagship Plaids use the old, old 1865 batteries. Not even the 2170s. But there is so much uncertainty regarding what Austin will build first, I decided to wait until after April 7 to order.

Could not resist...

That seems high. Is that supercharging or you live in California?
