Any indication that Shanghai/Berlin improvements are coming to US built MY this year?

[voip-ninja]

My understanding is that the following improvements over Fremont built MY have been made to LR MY or SR MY between Shanghai, Berlin & Austin;

• Double pane rear windows
• Matrix headlights
• Rear parcel shelf (haven't seen a photo of this yet)
• Magnetic center console
• New door insert panels

I don't keep up on Tesla rumors very well but supposedly Fremont was shut down for a week or two this month so maybe some changes to the line were made. Everything above shouldn't require any retooling so perhaps the shutdown was for other reasons or just annual maintenance.

Anyone have any insights?

no one?

no one?

Any reply here would be pure speculation. There has been no confirmation any of these changes are coming to US MY's.

Doesnt the MYP currently come with matrix headlights? Also, the door inserts are coming out of Fremont on the M3 so I would expect that on the MY soon. As far as the other improvements, we have to wait and see I guess.

Yes, only the MYP has the matrix lights now.

I’ve not heard that Chinese or Berlin model y have double pane rear windows.

Thanks. At this point I won’t miss having rear double pane windows in my 2022 MYP (built 12/2021) considering all the price hikes. It’s good Tesla is waiting to add feature the feature to USA & Canada I suppose as it justifies the multiple price hikes we saw post 12/21 .
I have asked my family if the rear of 2023 MYP seems loud a few times when on freeway. My wife says she can’t notice a difference between front seat and rear. Kids have no complaints. Our other car is a 2010 Toyota Prius & I had a Chevy Volt (2013-2021). So that’s what we compare against . No “luxury” cars for us to get used to.

Following these discussions with interest as we are thinking of selling our 2020 LR AWD and buying a Performance Y. These new updates would be icing on the cake.

Wonder if a rear window gets busted if they replace with the dual...

I own a 2021 Shanghai-built Y LR and I ordered a Performance Y because the new models out of Berlin have better suspension, even on uberturbine wheels. They also have improvements to reduce cabin noise, specifically fabric-covered plastic where the rear seatbelts touch in the rear seats and extra padding between the body and interior trim

@Imundo , if you can point us to some pictures of these additions it would be appreciated. I am particularly interested to learn more about the "extra padding between body and interior trim". Is this a foamy type material and is installed in every part of car?
I'm sure some people would like to mimic or see tesla's approach. I have 3d printed seatbelt guides which attach to headrest which prevent the seat belts from sliding over to the plastic body area and making rattles.
I just got back from a 300 mile road trip in my 2022 performance model y (built 12/2021). What a joy to drive!

Correcting some typos.

Now that I have ordered a PMY with an EDD of Aug 7th - Sept 11th am more interested than ever. What's baffling me is why these minor trim updates still haven't been introduced to Tesla's largest market.

double glass with material inserted between is essentially a laminated glass approach....should be much quieter than the single pane.
