[CASE01]

I was about to place my order for an (MYP MSM w/Tow Hitch) tomorrow morning...​

Interesting. Six years ago, In that same second to third week of June transition, Tesla changed the S/X drive units and added DU00 and DU01 to the option codes. We never figured out the change. Some suspected inverter technology. This was also the date for the original torque (and slight power) improvements for those cars, although Tesla eventually applied those improvements to many of the older, non DU coded cars.

Didn’t the Y LR and Y P rear drive units previously have different part numbers? And didn’t the LR and the base model Y share a part previously?

RD07 is the new code. Funny that the term “corked” is applied for the Y P. What would they do with an uncorked version? Super P? Roadster?

haha, are people going to put order on hold for this change?

No, you are talking about Parking Assist. That was USS based, nothing to do with radar. Cars with radar completely removed (a long time ago), but still with USS still had the numbers that counted down.

It was when the USS were removed that Park Assist disappeared, but Tesla has began rolling out park assist based on vision:

Thx! and HW4 would probably be "better" for Park Assist I assume.. Except no location changes

BTW re: crazy folks in the world. Would a SR Y qualify (like my SR 3)

The guy checking VINs on reddit confirmed my Austin Model Y LR is coming with HW4 / Non-Matrix / RD07 rear motor

The rear motor made me not feel bad about not having matrix headlights.

That's HW3. Here's a handy side by side (HW3 on left, HW4 on right):

Has anyone compared the image quality between HW3 and HW4? Is it night and day?

Yes much clearer on new cams. I had MYP with HW3 cams. New ones are better

Is there a particular method or configuration to get an LR Austin Model Y over Fremont? I’m in Oregon…

 

[ermnbzl]

Do you guys know if they started producing HW4 MY's in Berlin factory?

 

[CuriousWren]

Is there any way to guarantee that you will get a HW4 + Matrix headlight Model Y LR? I will be ordering my car in late July, will this guarantee that I get the latest car?

From all the LR VINs I've seen on here and Reddit, it's not clear there is a method for LR 5 seats. LR 7 seats and MYP are coming from Fremont.

you will be guaranteed HW4 if you are in the US now. Matrix is only coming from Fremont right now. MYLR 7 seats are exclusively made in Fremont it seems, so that would guarantee the matrix headlights for you. But Austin made MYLR are now coming out with new and more efficient rear motor.
Seams you can't have the best of both worlds. I'd pick better motor over headlights.
