Reddit is saying that the larger pack may now be in all the Model Ys. Can be released with a software update.
Source (I think): https://www.reddit.com/r/teslamotors/comments/lt9i3k/confirmed_2021_model_ys_produced_after_feb_7/
I read that thread. I'm pretty sure I saw a Model Y with a mfr date of 2/9 with the old headlights yesterday. I pick mine up today (pickup time moved from 10:30 am to 5:00 pm...GRRRRRR). Mine was supposed to be built on 2/15 so we shall see.
It isn't "Reddit" that says it. It is someone on Reddit who says that someone at a Tesla showroom said it. And what was said contains known false information (i.e. "all Model Y vehicles manufactured after Feb 7th have the new intelligent headlight"). Anyone who has been around Tesla for a while knows to take anything said by a Tesla employee with a grain of salt. To date, only Performance models have been confirmed (via photos) to have received the new headlights.
Here at the store now. Haven’t seen my Model Y yet. However, I was wrong about the 2/9 build having the older headlights. It is a 121k vin and a Performance Model Y and it does have the new headlights.
I thought this was an interesting/oddly worded update to TeslaFI . COM. Would that imply that is how the Tesla API differentiates between them ... or just the only way you can get this 'insight' with the current API details.
My MYP was built 02/27 and my SA checked the spec sheet which said the battery was the 74kwh battery pack.
