Well that is encouraging! Thanks for the heads up.. do we know if tow hitch options come out of Austin, Freemont or both?
Looking on WaitingForTesla and filtering by MYLR and Tow I'm going to guess both factories - as there seems to be a mix between CA and TX.
Thanks. It certainly is not the best situation. I am working on her though.
You can add another Jersey guy waiting patiently.
That is my build so hopefully the wait may be over soon. Maybe a week?
While I continue to wait for a VIN. Does anyone know if there is a benefit of getting the corded mobile charger versus the mobile charger with the changeable plug styles? does the corded one charge faster?
I have only ever used the mobile charger with the changeable plug but looking to pick up another for the new Y and was wondering if there was a reason to buy the corded one.

As soon I accepted Tesla Vision, VIN displayed on the app. VIN says it is Austin build. EDD also changed to April 17th.

I would go with the Mobile Charger. The corded one is not even in stock. However, the corded one you cannot change plug so you are stuck with NEMA 14-50. The Mobile Charger can change plugs and it comes with one NEMA 14-50 and one NEMA 5-15 which gives you options. If you need more plug options there is a kit for that as well.
Apologies I deleted my prior post because some of my advice would have been very bad...
Agree!!! Mobile charger is the one to get..
I have the mobile charger and bought some adapters for the 14-50p extension instead of forking over another $230 for the other adapters.
These appear to be EV charging compatible so I think I'm okay.
I did go a little crazy of course.

I considered the RAV4-H and did a test drive last year. As I recall, it also has a mail slot for a rear window like the MY.
Initially I was concerned about the MY rear visibility, but I got more comfortable because I learned to trust the backup camera when backing up. I never look at the backup camera view on the screen while driving forward. I prefer to use the rear view mirror, and I find the side windows give very good visibility for lane changes.
One thing that helps is to adjust the rear view mirror to maximize the view. Do not center the rear window in the mirror. It's better to set the mirror so when you look in the mirror, the top edge of the mirror is in line with the top edge of the rear window, with a fair amount of the mirror showing the area below the rear window. Can't explain the parallax phenomenon underlying this, but it does helps you see lower out the back. This video explains it.

Mine with a tow hitch came from Austin. My recollection is that the tow hitch does not factor into where your car is made.
Ideally, you'd have both a Wall Connector and Mobile Connector. The WC can charge 50% faster than the MC. The WC will add about 44 miles of range per hour to a Model Y in case you need the fastest possible charging at home. The MC will add about 30 miles of range per hour, but even that's plenty for a full charge overnight or a typical daily commute in just over an hour - and, you can take it with you.
It's also not a bad idea to have two "chargers" (the charger is actually built into the vehicle - the devices that most people call "chargers" are actually connectors) so you'll have a backup in case one fails, which is particularly important if you have to rely almost exclusively on charging at home.
For redundancy, I'd recommend either two MCs or one MC and one WC. If I could only choose one, I'd choose a MC since that can be used both at home and while traveling - and the WC isn't portable.
Hello,
Mine is keep changing everyday. Is that normal? I am new here and I just bought my Tesla model Y.
