Zapcar is likely talking about M3 judging by his username. There is less confidence in that data.To be clear as mud......is Tesla installing the Ryzen GPU in Model Y's out of Fremont right now?
For MY, there has been no official word that they have switched to AMD but there have been reports from SAs that sometime on 1/9 Fremont switched to AMD. Since some SAs tell facts (they can only see what chip you have, not what battery you have) and others make things up to make you keep your order, it is hard to believe what they say. My SA told me on 1/10 that no updates had been done yet regarding the 12V, cpu or rear glass. Yet he has since confirmed that my car built on 1/14 has the AMD and li-ion 12v. I am hoping he is correct on the 12v but I am getting a car with tow and I have not been notified that some features will not work currently so I will find out when I get my car later today.
My guess is unless the new Li-ion battery has a data connection to the car, it cannot be identified by the computer. Unless there is a database where every part number is entered manually for each car, the car computer has no way of identifying what parts are attached unless they have a data connection. If only one of these SAs wanted to be honest and show the data they are looking at (a screenshot of whatever they are using to identify these parts) then we could start believing what they are spewing. Or Tesla created a legit window sticker or build sheet it would be much easier to track these features.
