Not sure there is a lot of evidence out there to support 4680s being eminent. There is reasonable evidence Austin will crank up with the new structural battery pack, but it seems likely it will contain the old batteries... This solution has long been discussed as a possible interim measure until 4680 production reaching enough volume to match Y sales.My MYP has a EDD of mar7-31. I’m not one to delay getting the car, but being so close to possibly getting the 4680s would make me want to wait. I wish there was more clarity on what is upcoming. I’m sure Tesla doesn’t want to do this to slow sales while folks wait for the battery switch. I’d just hate to miss out on the 4680s if I could have delayed even a month.
Hard to say in timing for you. Plenty of time to wait watch and see before you get VIN, then you can make a decision based on better information.
We’re into third week in January now and not serious signs of eminent Y production at Austin... Then it will take a long time, months, for it to ramp up, while most orders are still filed with Fremont builds. Which frankly seem pretty high quality now compared to early days and wouldn’t be something to turn nose up at.
