makes sense. I was thinking of my costs. There was a similar debate with SR 3 having a metal roof. But Elon decided to standardize. (somedays I wish they hadn't with AZ sun) I use a cover, but will have a buy a bigger one for Y

Yep. And another current example is the rumor that the updated model-3 "highland" will get a bigger 15 inch screen which is cool, but actually done so that all Teslas including the X and S use the exact same monitor part.
Yeah, which is why its so surprising to me that companies like Lucid are doing metal roof vehicles.
Lucid IS based in AZ and knows our blazing sun
They did have a lot of layoffs lately Lucid to cut 1,300 workers amid signs of flagging demand for its EVsI wonder if it's a safety issue too.

It could also be supplies. Seems like I've heard that they had a lot of issues with their glass supplier.

If you are lucky enough to be able to take the full $7500 credit the new SR-AWD is now about the same price as the old SR-RWD was in 2021.
2 years later, after inflation, probably a better build, and the 2nd motor tossed in. And if you are patient the price will come down even further as Austin, Texas ramps up.

change in color scheme but same source data. With a few new updates added.
Are you still predicting the price will come down even further as Austin, Texas ramps up more?
Also side note will be visiting Katy TX next week and debating whether worth it to drive up to GigaTX? I know they don't do tours I think they should for rez. holders

It’s a 3.5 hour drive, each way. You may be interested in visiting Mecca, but it’s an all day investment from Katy. You won’t see much and the surrounding areas are unimpressive.Are you still predicting the price will come down even further as Austin, Texas ramps up more?

Yes, I think Model Y supply will continue to ramp and Cybertruck supply will be added to that (some overlap in customers).
I'm not predicting by the week or month, or even quarter, but I expect lower prices for the Model Y to come later this year.

I was expecting a faster ramp at Texas. At this rate the price drop I'm looking for might slide into next year.

They are cell constrained, even 2170. China was not as cell constrained with LFP, more available labor, etc. looks like they are about half speed of the china ramp. 4680 is likely being reserved more CT ramp and maybe Semi so not as many are flowing into vehicles at this point.I was expecting a faster ramp at Texas.

no CT has rolled off the lot. they've got pre-pro rolling, nothing more. nothing is going into buyers' hands tomorrow.
please restrain the internet hyperbole parroting.

Let the lad have his fun mate! I just got my delivery window email for my dual motor, 10.23 - never.
I thought it was just a typo and he meant line, tbh. That is still a big step.
