So much for getting Austin 4680 cars. The odds aren't exactly in our favor.... 1 million cells total? So about 1,000 Model Ys max made from them.
Not holding my breath.

yep, wise advice. and ... sell the 21’s for profit above whatever you pay for 19’s.
It’s not great to get that confirmation. But at what appears to be a slow ramp-up, at least by the time Austin uses that first million there will be a second waiting... then things get progessively trickier.

It's not like they are done producing 4680 cells and only make 1k MYs. It's not a bad number for a head start.
It’s also true the post is a congratulations for January. They already may be closing in on that second million.
Well here's the quote
"So in Texas, we’re building the Model Ys with the structural battery pack and the 4680 cells, and we’ll start delivering after final certification of the vehicle, which should be fairly soon," So You can read that in one of two ways. The Model Ys in Austin will be 4680 or that they are building some with 4680s. Again, technically it could be both but you would probably not word something like that if you meant you're building both. Possible, but awkward.
So yes, you could be right...but you'd have to be awfully jaded to think like that..which is basically everything they say is technically true but they're actually just lying to us...
Or got pushed back inside.
It would be kinda odd for them to put those covers on for a few hours, then ship half of them out... but who knows. The covers are a little odd either way...
And minor detail..,.he gives a verbal guess of “about 40” to open the video, but there are 56 left there lined up. And every last one you can actually see the wheels on is an LR.
On plus side def some visible in assembly area.

Joe mentioned they were still actively pouring the concrete for the parking pad, so maybe the covers are related to the ongoing construction.
dunno, like people keep pointing out, Fremont can get pretty dusty, and some of the other places they have been stockpiling coverless cars are windblown and dusty as all get out, too. Another Tesla forum mystery...

Yeah but dust and cement from concrete are not the same thing. Cement could be potentially corrosive.
Yeah, all true. and also it looks like the wind has really been whipping it hard there pretty often..... there was that wind storm a couple weeks ago and even in this video you can see the covers flapping briskly and one is blown clean off...
My guess is this - pushed back inside. I feel like we saw pictures from the inside recently and their were lots of Ys in there. Perhaps they had to move some outside temporarily to progress with factory work.

A week after I moved to Dallas Tx a red “fog” blew in and I had to put towels around the apt door to keep it out. The tv news said it was a dust storm blowing in from West Tx. Not to mention hail storms of golf ball size. Maybe they should store the new cars inside until can ship.

It’s not awkward when it’s carefully chosen to maximize return for investors. People hear the comment and interpret it like you do and the stock goes up. Marketing spin. He is a master of it. “Funding secured.” Sound familiar? There’s a reason people become jaded. They’ve been exposed to bs too many times and have reason to stop believing. I love the company and what they are doing but people that don’t think they need a PR department and speak for themselves do not understand they are the sole reason PR departments exist. Look at Trump, entertaining as hell but hard to believe a word that he says. Elon talks a big game and eventually things happen. But 4680 volume prduction is right there with cybertrucks and the Roadster.
I know that already.....You can't prioritize both right? Otherwise you prioritize neither?
you can continue to prioritize P’s at Fremont, and make LR the focus at Austin. so, yes, you can.
