Probably the best deal was back in Dec 2023 for a RWD Y from Shangi but for a verity of reasons I made an order Jan 5. I was told they could be shipped from China or Fremont. Then I discovered the 2024 STD had a reduced audio system, and eventually the inventory started to show Y LR with a discount of $2k. Given that Fremont provides HW4 and China HW3, the problems with LFP range in the cold for the SR, along with limitations of the Canadian 5K discount (the money stops when the limit is reached - not date driven) I decided to just proceed with an Y LR on Jan 19, so I changed my order. I pick it up on Jan 27. I think Tesla could be more transparent on the configuration of their products. The Freemont probably has 2170 batteries and is not “giga caste” which may or may not be for the better - I don’t have any way to determine that.
I ended up with MY LR, 82kwh battery which I believe is made from 2170 cells, full audio system and am fairly confident of the 5K Canadian Gov rebate. So at least it’s settled, now all I have to cope with is the quality of the Fremont build.
