Update: Joe is going out to Giga Texas in the morning, hopefully has some good nuggets for us.
Unless they don't want to tip off people that Austin is open before an official announcement since they are publicly traded and that will have an impact on the stock price.
Production at Austin is imminent if not already begun.
I definitely recall hearing this as well - S/X only in Fremont. It makes sense really - the price range of the two mean they'll always be a limited production vehicle. At most I bet they sell 200k world-wide... even 5-10 years from now (even with an massive update/refresh/redesign). Far more likely they keep production to one factory. I don't even think they'll want to waste the resources equipping a factor to build them... at some point they'll need to kick off their sub-compact (smaller and cheaper than even a 3) thats been talked about for a couple years now.
Maybe that is why so many of us now have June Dates, as soon as they announce Austin open, they will assign us those VINs. Probably not, but it would be nice.
They may be limited but the wait time is still 12-18 months for them . I'm sure they would likeget people those cars within a few weeks
That's an ongoing process though. If I'm not mistaken, the factory and surrounding infrastructure won't be 100% done and operational for quite a while.
Yes, for sure there won't be significant production of the cybertruck or semi for some time. I was more thinking about the night and day difference between the week and weekends.
Indeed. I've got one on hold that's $1k cheaper than the current price - comes off hold February 27th. Depending on the news we get out of Austin, I may go as far as cancelling that order and placing a new one with a later hold date, even if it means paying $1k more and eating the $250 reservation fee.
I still have a hard time believing that the 4680s will be seen before Q3. It's one thing for the QA of the MYs and Model 3s out of the new factory, but they at least have experience building them. It would seem that the QA for the 4680s is going to require a good amount of time IMO (of course, the Model Ys that have been reported to be driving in GIGA Austin, could technically be with the 4680s so maybe its already started...doubt it though).
Tesla is building Semi's in Nevada.
