I know tesla was selling the two-piece cast, 4680 model Ys on the down low for a while, is that still going on? Are the older battery pack Model Ys coming out of Austin still using the 2 piece giga casting chassis or are they exactly like the previous model Y?

There have been a number of threads on this and nothing has changed that anyone has seen.
There are/were two type of Y coming out of Austin, the Y-LR with regular 2170 pack with rear casting and the Y-AWD with front/rear casings and structural pack.
The Austin Y-LR is just like the Fremont Y-LR, same body, same battery pack, same single casting. There was never a Y with the "older' pack that had front/rear castings.
