You can’t currently. It’s not available to the general public yet. You’d have order a Long Range MY and hope to get contacted by Tesla asking if you’d be willing to accept an Austin Built Stand Range MY. There’s no guarantee you will get it. You can wait until they do start offering it directly through the web site but no one knows when that will happen.

Austin cars are officially called the Model Y AWD - Model Y SR is an older 2170-based RWD vehicle that is no longer sold anymore.
$61,990
Giga Texas Model Y AWD gets $2,000 price increase
The Model Y AWD is now just $7,430 cheaper than what Tesla was selling the Model S for in 2020 at the meme-worthy price of $69,420.

Dude this is something you could easily Google or look up on the Tesla.com website. come on. I don’t mind helping out but this is not what this is for.

First, congrats, and we all hope the car is all quality through-and-through. We'd all like to hear the details of how these vary from the Freemont models. We do know there should be a package covering shelf in the back, but other than that, most of us know nothing additional to that.
Could you perhaps start a new thread of New Austin MYLR Deliveries (or somesuch) where people getting those post their own observations?

And now (or soon) with Mexican-made parts, according to today's news. It didn't say how many or what parts. The folding shelf is probably more than a $20 adition. The interior rear side panels are also different, with rails on each side for the support of the cover. Far better than the glue-on third party covers that will soon fall apart in warm weather.
There may be other differences that haven't been reported yet.

I had thought it was a much higher percentage. More than 80% is all I can dig up from searching, and they seem to indicate Canada in that percentage, so let's say north American sourcing. Had no Idea Mexico was the source of around 20%. I learned something today. Thanks.
Declined delivery at this time (stopped by early before official inspection). Car was filthy, as expected from construction dust and I just checked in since it was on my way home from work. Every body panel was out of alignment except the front and rear bumper. Hood was slightly high at back, driver door so bad surprised it closed, other 3 doors poked out and were moderately out of alignment. Lift gate gaps were even but very large all the way around. I'm going to wait for a detail clean and alignment of all panels before officially requesting another VIN
I don't believe there is a Model Y Long Range coming out of Austin yet. Not until the end of the year... at the earliest.
I paid for a long range, car has A in the VIN before number and was covered in orange dirt. Would not surprise me if they sent me the wrong car though.
There have already been MYLR's out of Austin. Lots of photos in other threads/online.
