When did you apply at DCU? The rates on their website currently show 2.24%
I applied on April 7 when it was 1.99, and there is a .25 discount for EV's.

What's your EDD?
You can also throw your OD, EDD, and config in signature so everyone can see it
FWIW, I texted my SA this afternoon and asked if there are any updates or if they knew when my car would start production. The person replied back saying that my car is currently in production.
I’ve learned enough by now to trust anything a SA says with a grain of salt, unless they’re telling me what my VIN is.

Good News/Bad News:
EV analyst on CNBC this morning reported that the Fremont factory has run out of some parts. The "good" news is that Covid has shut down the China factory for the last 2 weeks and they're looking for a way to ship their unused parts from there to CA. They also said Tesla may have to start mining their own lithium but it'll take years to ramp up production. Fremont is still the most productive auto factory in the US.

I have to imagine that it would take weeks for those parts to arrive via boat. I also can’t imagine the import fees! I’m curious to what parts are in short supply. Computer parts could easily be flown over. Doors, not so much.
But this is consistent with what I was told yesterday that Fremont is having supply issues.

Pretty sure they all have Ryzen at this point. The changeover happened in early 2022 builds.
But no, there’s no way to check without first accepting delivery because you won’t be able to open the car otherwise. No external markers to differentiate Ryzen vs Intel. Only checking through the screen or checking for Li-ion low voltage battery instead of 12V lead acid.

Doors and the body/chassis of the cars would be stamped in house at Fremont.
It’s all the other stuff that’s not likely made in-house like electronics, interior bits, wiring harnesses, wheels, brake components, lighting, etc etc.
Unless they’re out of steel and aluminum to stamp the body panels…

I hope they ran out of tail lights and are forced to use Model Y tail lights from China like Shanghai already does on the MiC Model 3.
Interesting, did a quick search and wasn’t able to find any information regarding supply chain shortage currently affecting production at Fremont.
