What AC seats??? I’m so out of the loop! I have a 1xxxx vin and haven’t been paying attention until I heard 4680 a few days ago….Maybe the a/c seats will offset the 4680 advantage.
I would take my car from Fremont any day of the week. To date, Austin QC in unproven.I know this is all speculation here, but if this were to happen literally NOBODY would want the inferior Y's coming out of Fremont. I've got to think Tesla is smarter than that.
Don't forget the air suspension as well.What AC seats??? I’m so out of the loop! I have a 1xxxx vin and haven’t been paying attention until I heard 4680 a few days ago….
Ohhh, one of those features, ‘about to be released’ … never…Don't forget the air suspension as well.
might as well toss in cooled steering wheel tooOhhh, one of those features, ‘about to be released’ … never…
Still waiting for the SW update to enable my heated steering wheel… rolls eyes…
The weight savings alone would be better with the 4680. You’d have to be ignorant to think a couple hundred pounds doesn’t matter in a car. It matters in handling, wear and tear of suspension components (ie bushings), as well as tirewear. I’m not gonna say range since they may reduce the cells to keep the range similar, but might be easier to “hypermile”.
The paint can’t be helped if coming from Fremont unfortunately. Unless they use the same kind of water based paint in Texas just to keep one supply of paint.
Not sure which way the sarcasm was going lolYes thats why I always make people get out of my car. It un driveable with the weight of a passenger or two.... lol... freeking twilight zone here
its all just speculation. unless its happening - nothing is happening.I got all excited after hearing their earning calls and was thinking ordering a MYP sometime in this summer. I thought that would give enough time to mass produce 4680 Ys and also iron out some of the production issues along the way.
But.. After reading through this thread I can't help but to think Tesla may announce some sort of MYP+ model in the summer with 4680 and with all the speculative features (air suspension??). And obviously upcharge over $5k~$10k for the trim. This would align with the plaid strategy in S and X. Of course we won't see that model until next year.
True. Then again they did talk about long-term plans to expand the Freemont output beyond its current 600k capacity. Down the road there's no telling how such an increase in capacity could he utilized.I think it sounds reasonable *except* they explicitly said Fremont would send MYs to the West and Austin would send MYs East. And you wouldn’t want to make blatantly misleading statements on an earnings call…
Warming and chilling cup holders will be packaged with that.might as well toss in cooled steering wheel too
Perhaps new EPA range numbers and/or crash test ratings. Also, the EPA issues a Certificate of Conformity showing the vehicle conforms to all emissions requirements (of course not a issue for an EV). As an example, below is the link for Tesla's Cert. of Conformity for 2022 Model Y Performance and LRWhat is this final certification that is needed to sell the newly produced Model Ys?
Does a new production line require a certification?What is this final certification that is needed to sell the newly produced Model Ys?
Leaked user manual for future Model Y apparently made reference to ventilated seats.What AC seats??? I’m so out of the loop! I have a 1xxxx vin and haven’t been paying attention until I heard 4680 a few days ago….
They bought an existing factory and converted it to make their cars. So this does at least make some sense. It was their first and only factory for a long time. So, maybe once Austin is fully up they will rebuild Fremont to improve efficiency.I believe the first inferior part of anything coming out of California would be the paint, as far as fitment I think they have it dialed in pretty good. Other than that, they should be professionals putting together a car. Texas should be able to hit the ground running, I bet there are many employees that would not mind moving to texas. I have to say hats off to the fremont crew, that plant looks like a jigsaw puzzle from hell and I bet there is room from improvement, it looks too crowded and more or less an organized cluster fawk. But they are making it work and my respects to them.
Looking a t delivery times on the website for Model 3's, it looks like a shorter backlog than for the Model Y. So, I am not sure this makes much sense.*speculation alert*
What are the chances all the model Y’s come out of texas, and they expand model 3 capacity in cali.
This would avoid having 2 versions of the same car being produced for any meaningful amount of time. Keep in mind texas ramps up Y, and then it focuses on cybermirage.
This was stated a long time ago, in Tesla time. And so I wouldn't necessarily count on it holding up. I don't remember anything in this weeks earning call regarding that. Tesla, adapts quickly, they aren't Ford or GM.I think it sounds reasonable *except* they explicitly said Fremont would send MYs to the West and Austin would send MYs East. And you wouldn’t want to make blatantly misleading statements on an earnings call…
