Those aren’t structural.MYP differences to MYLR include, tire and wheel package, suspension (lower), and more powerful back axel motor.
No, it reads December for MYLR base with 19’s.According to Teslarati on Oct 5, 2021,
Tesla’s Model Y Performance variant, which is the fastest available configuration of the all-electric crossover, is nearly sold out for 2021.
The online configuration studio has been stating Feb 21 - Mar 21 for the YP, at least since November.
I'd be interested to know if anyone on the forum knows of even any MYPs delivered after the end of the year??
The online configuration studio currently reads August 2022 for the MYLR.
None of that is structural.Let's see... different rear motor, different brakes, different wheels, slightly lower suspension, small rear lip spoiler, different headlights (at the moment). Probably other smaller things.
There are NO structural differences between the MYP and the MYLR. Both are built on the same chassis.Structural’s not the right word (different configuration that’s not cosmetic/insignificant?), but they have the Uberturbine wheels. Not sure if there’s anything else different from the LR but I would imagine there’s something with the wheels that would need testing. I’ll be honest I don’t know the ins and outs of the cars, just talking as a quality manager.
Fremont and Austin will both be making the same chassis.Presumably the front castings at Fremont are to cover the transition to structural battery pack, soon probably or they wouldn't be there already.
Or in car unlock moving forwardMy hope for 4680 cars is for Tesla to offer a few more RANGE options. Like say a LR+ and maybe a LR Max. I’m waiting to trade up to a 4680 Y but want more range. I’d gladly pay for a 400 mile Y.
This just isn't true. The thing that is limiting Tesla is growing their capital base and developing engineering capacity. It takes about the same capital and engineering to make a $55k car as it does to make a $25k car. But you make a lot more profit on the $55k car. As a car company grows it's capital and engineering, they move down scale because they can no longer sell all of the expensive cars at good margin. If Tesla was trying to make a million Roadsters next year, or even Model S's, they couldn't sell them. The 3/Y is the current sweet spot. As that market starts to saturate, they will put out a cheaper car to continue the march to sustainable energy.If they were genuinely interested to maximally accelerate the world's transition to sustainable energy, they'd be building a $25,000 car.
Most companies start out with lofty ideals and once the bean counters come in, those goals seem to be modified somewhat (fade). Why do they introduce the more expensive models first? Bean counters lobbying for the stockholders. If the extreme demand allows them to keep selling more expensive cars for a greater profit for the stockholders, there is little motivation to use limited natural resources and chips to make a cheaper car with a smaller profit margin. Guess what bean counters win. Own a Tesla and TSLA stock for a WIN-WIN.
With 400 lb reduced weight the 0-60 should be about 9% quicker so ~4.4s for the mylr. That's roughly what the $2k acceleration boost option did. (Assuming it doesn't get throttled so it can be unlocked for a fee).
Ah, good point. It will be interesting to see if a new spec appears at some point, although that would give the game awayThat 400 lb. reduction was with front and rear megacast with the 4680. That was before the Y transitioned to rear megacast. So it won't be a 400 lb. reduction.
It will be lighter, we just don't know how much lighter as it all depends on how Tesla sets up the Y with the 4680.
You can point this out as many times as you want, but someone always seems to pop up a day later saying there will be 400 or 500 lbs of new weight savings AND 16 percent more battery capacity etc etc. It’s like trying to control kudzu, in the end just not worth the effort.That 400 lb. reduction was with front and rear megacast with the 4680.

Totally agree. As you so aptly stated my point. "As a car company grows its capital and engineering, they move downscale because they can no longer sell all of the expensive cars at good margin." The goal NOW is to grow capital and engineering skills and become the most efficient automaker in the world. I am not criticizing it, it's just not maximally accelerating the world's transition to sustainable energy. Maximally accelerating the world's transition to sustainable energy would be getting a $25,000 car to as many people as possible. They are following a business model which is the smartest thing to do right now for them and for their shareholders (me).This just isn't true.

Not a single one of them would be able to tell the difference. It’s also a sure bet as much complaining as there has been about panel gaps etc that Fremont’s quality has improved quite a bit and cars out of Austin could be spotty for awhile. On the paint, who knows.Starting to get that feeling..... People get way too caught up in the hype and they go way overboard in wondering if they should delay their orders, put them on hold, cancel their orders, etc thinking this change will drastically alter how the vehicle is. It will be a modest improvement, but not one worth the hoops they are trying to jump through to justify their actions.
On the lot in NC they had two which were $2000 over MSRP. He spoke to the manager who spoke to the owner who approved an order for MSRP plus $799 dealer prep. $28800 out the door.Nice. I didn't see a way to reserve let alone order one. Was he early on a waitlist?
I took delivery of a MYLR 2 weeks ago after 7 months on the queue. Fremont build.Not a single one of them would be able to tell the difference. It’s also a sure bet as much complaining as there has been about panel gaps etc that Fremont’s quality has improved quite a bit and cars out of Austin could be spotty for awhile. On the paint, who knows.
So when you say structural you mean it literally, as in what holds the car together. My mistakeThose aren’t structural.
Probably true but people did pay 2k for the Acceleration boost option and this should give at least half that if the power to the motors isn't reduced. So it is a change in specification. I'm not losing sleep over it though. (my west coast mylr with tow and white interior got pushed from March to June just before Christmas so I expect it'll be a Fremont post-retool version which should be the same as Austin).Not a single one of them would be able to tell the difference. It’s also a sure bet as much complaining as there has been about panel gaps etc that Fremont’s quality has improved quite a bit and cars out of Austin could be spotty for awhile.
