So, I got my MYLR on September 9th. I found several issues with it. The hood didn't line up the the panel in front of it. The windshield didn't line up properly on the front right side with the top glass. The driver side rocker panel didn't line up properly with the driver side door. There was...

I changed my order to remove FSD and my delivery had now been updated to Oct 2022 - Jan 2023

So, from what I have seen recently, it looks like there maybe cars that are intended for customers at the Austin factory. They have a small number of cars sitting outside and covered. As with others, these are the MYLR models. The thought is that these are awaiting the certification of the...

I have a MYLR - Tri-Coat Red Metallic with White/Black interior, 19" Wheels, tow hitch and FSD. OD:01/21/2022 EDD:06/20/2022-07/18/2022.

Yes, the 4680 cells will be used in structural battery packs. It will add rigidity to the car and be built in as the floor of the vehicle. These cells are reported to not have any external tab. Externally, they are metal cylinders.

My EDD time frame is June 20 to July 18th, 2022. It updated on Tuesday once, I got my trade in quote (I know this will change).

2030? 😊

Everything about availability of 4680 cell battery packs is based on speculation. Nothing is set yet. The latest earnings call, last Wednesday, didn't really tell us anything of substance. Basically limited to the Kato Road facility is producing packs everyday! (But nothing on when they will...

This was stated a long time ago, in Tesla time. And so I wouldn't necessarily count on it holding up. I don't remember anything in this weeks earning call regarding that. Tesla, adapts quickly, they aren't Ford or GM.

Looking a t delivery times on the website for Model 3's, it looks like a shorter backlog than for the Model Y. So, I am not sure this makes much sense.

They bought an existing factory and converted it to make their cars. So this does at least make some sense. It was their first and only factory for a long time. So, maybe once Austin is fully up they will rebuild Fremont to improve efficiency.

2170 and 4680 are types of battery cells. Either can go into battery pack. So the idea that somehow the a 2170 based battery pack is somehow inheiriantly less structural than a 4680 battery pack seems wrong, to me. At the Brandenburg Fair they showed off structural battery packs based on 2170...

I saw a report from the Fair they had at the Berlin Giga Factory that showed examples of both the 2170 and 4680 structural battery packs. So, the 4680, I expect will only ever be in the structural format, but the 2170's haven't been. I am assuming that either of these structural packs will be...

Panasonic is on its own 4680 production ramp, curve. They asked Tesla if they could make 4680 batteries for them. Tesla, said, sure, why not! But Tesla had already been working on its own production. So, I don't think these time lines are linked. Plus, that is a leak, Panasonic has not...

This Austin production stuff is all pretty out there from what I am seeing on this page. My understanding is that Austin is supposed to begin limited production by the end of Q1. They need to get all the machines calibrated and dial in the quality of the builds. I just don't think Tesla can...

I ordered my Model Y LR + tow hitch + FSD on Friday, I am seeing a July delivery time frame. They are currently evaluating my trade in, a 2019 Chevrolet Bolt Premier with the recall complete. I will have to consider their valuation to decide if I want to keep it as a trade in. Sounds like...
