The main advantage to the consumer is that the 4680 will allow you to charge up to 80% in about 10 minutes . Fo 99% of the people that won't matter but it should help get down the the Gas filling time.
Unless you are expecting a tesla executive to post here and reply, anything else is a guess.

VINs from GIGA Texas Tracking. Who will be first?
Well, as rumor has it, MYs should start to be built today in Austin. So I am starting this thread to see when people get their Austin VIN. It should look like 5YJYA1E62NA352XXX with an A in the 11th slot. Also, let us know if you also get a AMD chip, 12v battery, Duel Glaze Rear Window or...

Model Y - Gigafactory Texas Production
It appears that the new Austin Texas Gigafactory is hoping to begin production of Model Y's starting in late December 2021, or early Jan. 2022 with the first deliveries to customers perhaps in January. Up until now all Model Y's sold in the USA have been build at Tesla's Fremont CA assembly...

First batch of Austin produced vehicles leaving this morning. Wasn’t told if they were for consumer or showroom purposes.
Lemme know when the pics show up. I’ll also throw another one out there which is if they are for testing and validation purposes (assuming a pic shows up and it’s not just a random comment)
I wouldn’t count on it but am waiting for update. More than likely these are for show not consumers.
Most likely going to Tesla sales centers as new demo/showroom vehicles. My local Tesla SC expects to receive one early next week. May be a day or two later when customers can get their hands on it. Too bad that neither Joe nor Jeff normally are flying their drones around gigatexas on the weekends.
It may not be a coincidence of the timing of the first gen 2 MYs arriving at SC and with next week's quarterly earnings call with investors and any announcements made there. Stay tuned, expect lots of news next week.

I called my local gallery and asked about a Test Drive. They said the 2 closest galleries won't have any demo cars untul this Wednesday the 26th. Let's see if they are Austin or Fremont builds.

what info do you have regarding this? do you work there, drone footage from Youtube, reddit rumor, or some other way?
Yes, the 4680 is supposed to improve charging time, but only by 10%
And you're forgetting that reduced weight also improves handling and performance.
400lbs is a LOT of weight advantage. It also means that fewer batteries give same range, and makes it easier for Tesla to add range when competition finally arrives.

Plus since your in LA you'll get a car from Fremont since Tesla will deliver Austin Y's east of TX.
Not that much of an advantage when my ass is in the car but ok....
