Ask them to head west to the Mount Pleasant supercharger please. :)

Guess that means it won’t be working when I roll in Thursday… :confused:

Coming from south (St Louis Missouri). Staying in town for 3 days. Expecting to come in with less than 25% charge. So will need to charge at/near arrival and again before departure. No L2 at the hotel. Staying around 35 and 90th St.

Doesn’t look good for our visit to Bloomington July 21.. :D Was hoping it’d be open for some local charging without having to drive too far out of the way. Missed it by that much….

The sad part of this is everyone’s “disappointment” are based on overly optimistic internet rumors. New technology takes time to fully optimize. New factories take time to get to full production. New factories with new technology are duplicative in terms of challenges and ramps. In other...

Oh have we entered the “hold” discussion again? How is it possible EVERY thread devolves into this each end of quarter? 😂😂 And as far as the silliness about Tesla submitting cars just for the LOLs. Seriously. Stop the nonsense. It wastes everyone’s time. #1 teslas problem is being too...

No they didn’t. They presented the manufacturing and cost benefits of a new battery and megacast to their investors and shareholders to build confidence and inflate the stock price. The Internet has turned that into superior Model Ys that go 3x as far with perfect body panels, perfect paint...

Giga Berlin is March 22 for first deliveries. So that confirms what’s been stated for a while: - Tesla won’t wait until next quarter due to financial statements (forgot who said it but we now have proof that doesn’t drive dates) - Tesla will announce the deliveries (they have for Shanghai and...

One mule body. So technically no finished cars.

i would love to see evidence of reading a VIN from 300’ away. Is it on a billboard? 😂😂

The Ryzen provides faster UI response including for things like maps and backup cameras. So it’s more than what was listed above. I dont know what math you saw but there were a lot of bad assumptions posted. There is no substantial loss of range. That has been debunked.

I am working through the low freq noise in my MYP as well. How much of it was in my much noisier 19 M3RWDLR that I just didn’t hear… who knows. But it is absolutely there and distracting in my 22 MY

No. This is likely an update based on new design. This doesn’t get updated unless there’s been a design change not a cosmetics change. Been saying for months folks need to chill on this whole big weight reduction story. Let it play out. This is likely the Austin change design change being...

Yes. Most of them should have at least some in stock.

Not sure what this means. Are you saying they switched back to P-Zero? If so you are the first I’ve seen saying that. But that wasn’t the question. I was answering the question about mud flaps and ppf. Not sure where tires came into play.

Let’s be real. If there were 100s or even dozens of finished Model Ys inside that building pictures would leak. It’s not like 20 cars a day come off that line and then go park in an empty part of the building and no one thinks to snap a pic. The only logical explanation as it’s been since...

It’s both. You can ask your SA or text/chat what the build date was.

It’s regional to my understanding. The more winter weather regions get them, but it’s definitely not consistent. The Delivery/Service Center puts them on, not the factory.

Picked up today. No major issues or problems. Grabbed a 14-50 adapter while I was there. Front mud flaps and ppf was there as promised. Processor said Ryzen. Don’t know what I’m looking for on wipers and it has older software so will have to wait to see if the icon appears.

Yes. Multiple people have reported that the blind spot cameras and rear view cameras fill in faster and don’t seem to suffer from lag.

You’d hope it was a mistake. But if you look at that posters tweets they are Tesla and crypto based. It’s pretty clear they know what they are doing and were just stirring the pot.

In multiple threads there’s been conversation about the benefits and shortfalls (holds, FOMO) of Tesla’s continuous improvement model. Unlike traditional manufacturers you aren’t able to purchase a 2022 model with consistent features, they can change at any time and model year means little...

St. Louis can confirm the MYPs are still Michelins.

Surprising but not impossible. M3s have been getting Intels and there had to be a reason Tesla’s memo said end of quarter. It seemed odd they said end of quarter and then seemingly switched a couple days later. They must have known they needed flexibility or there was a limited run.

This makes no sense at all. But time will tell.

This is 100% wrong. For evidence just look at Teslas website. Go to Model 3 and look at Standard range, long range, performance. Click the links about range and performance. Keep digging. Leave the order page. Go to menu and look up the model 3 details. Go to the specs page. Go to expanded...

Yes they are adding them. Luckily St Louis is considered a winter weather area (what is that white stuff on the ground??? :) ). The SC confirmed that due to roads/salt/weather they will be adding front mud flaps and rear door PPF no charge.

Looky looky. What’s this beaut doing sitting there?? Pickup scheduled for Feb 9. Just enough time for a bath and some mud flaps and PPF! Born on Date is 1/18 according to the window tag.

The ride quality between a MYLR and a MYP is only marginally different. The majority of complaints I have seen come from people either coming from a luxury SUV, a Model S or by their own admission are sensitive to harsh rides. If you find the MYP to be too rough, since you had planned on...

If it’s more than a quarter out I agree. But once you are within 4-6 weeks and have enough evidence it’s time to believe. They might only deliver 100 cars but I’d put cash on them delivering cars out of Austin by end of March.

I’m confident Tesla will meet their official statement from the earnings call of delivering Austin vehicles before quarter end. And once the first report of Austin VINs start, the East Coast holds will rain down.

You are in SoCal. Very high likelihood you get it. Austin starts shipping. East coast people go on hold or reject Fremont builds. After mid March 100% of those go to California / West Coast

No. You are in northeast and takes time to ship and with delays can affect. Mine is 364 and I don’t have it yet and won’t until next week due to shipment and weather delays.

No one can tell you what to do but… 4680s are going to gain a mile or two not 20 or 30. Seems strange if range is your biggest anxiety why get a P? Get a LR, and buy the boost. 10% range increase and nearly same gut punch performance. But you are months away from guaranteed Austin. You’d need...

Confirmed pickup delayed. Vehicle is in Chicago and with the weather in the Midwest they don’t expect until the 8th with pickup the 9th or 10th. So original pickup 2/1. Tesla delayed to 2/3. Now Tesla / weather delayed to 2/9 or 2/10.

Exactly. Half the weight has already been shed and there weren’t people out there running over the non cast Ys. So why are we thinking a similar reduction for the 4680 plus front cast will suddenly be a different car? The facts don’t back that up. Back of the napkin math is exciting and fun...

I can see that. But that’s also not additional weight balanced in the car. That’s a block of weight that throws off all the balance and lean of the vehicle. More weight is bad. But the weight difference between current Model Ys and 4680s will not be anywhere near as impactful.

A 4680 is reported to be 250-400lbs lighter than a non-megacast 2170. But the MY already shed the weight from the rear with no appreciable gain. Realistically drop some weight from the front and the battery and might be 150-200lbs? But that’s a guess. At that point that’s the difference...

Really don’t think I’ll get my car this week. Scheduled 2/1. Tesla called and delayed to 2/3. Winter storm moves in 2/2 with potential of 10+“ on the ground by Thursday. Not looking promising. At least it doesn’t come with summer tires anymore. 😂🤣

So anyone see an Austin demo car yet? 🤣🤣 Steady as she goes. February the Austin model Y will see its shadow as they begin small accumulation outside the factory. Internal delivers by mid month. Kick off event either February or mid-March if they time with customer deliveries. Think 200 or...

Congrats. Glad it worked out.

Got a phone call. 2/1 pickup pushed to 2/3 in the middle of a winter storm. So likely the week after.

This is the part I don’t get. Why are they inferior? Does this make the Model S Plaid the most inferior because it had the oldest model batteries that the 2170 improved upon? Taking complex multidimensional technologies and trying to boil it down to newer = better is such flawed logic. Every...

the larger physical structure and design of the 4680 makes it a more structurally stable design. When a 2170 is used in a structural casing to create a structural pack it requires more support (dead weight) than a 4680. Hence a 2170 structural pack has additional framing to provide the support...

Feb 1 Pickup holding steady Financing all taken care of so should be no holdups on my side Daily drive by or service center to begin Saturday to see if we can scope out my MYP before delivery! After 3 months of sharing a car and being without my own for the first time in 30+ years I am ready to...

Glad to see the rumor mill slowed down. 😂 I think folks are jumping to too many conclusions. The answers have been posted just like they were around all this Dec / Jan shipment silliness. Remember earnings announcements are as much massaged legal statements as they are detailed plans. Tesla...

Technology company margins are 30% plus. That is what Tesla is targeting.

Yeah. No surprises really. Started test builds in Dec. Shipments to customers after validation (waiting for a timeline but I’m holding with March). 2170 and 4680 for Model Y with megacast (split between Texas and Berlin - I’m sure we will hear more about Fremont, China and whether Texas will...

Not sure discussing the 4680 vs 2170 frame benefits is speculation since it’s already fact and the details are known, but sure. Now if you want to know what’s coming out of Austin when that would be speculation. We also know volume wise in the world there is not enough production of 4680 to...

There are a couple reasons the modified 2170 has been floated. One is availability of batteries. 2170 is proven and available with high yields. This allows them to move forward with Giga Berlin and Giga Austin production even if 4680 wasn’t ready. In addition from a future supply chain...
