That premise then begs the question - what is now being produced in Austin? Which Elon has stated is based on 4680's.
We cannot know until Tesla announces, or customers take deliveries of 'A' VINs.

Well, apparently the undersurface looks different according to the revised Tesla manual. Next time someone in Austin sees one, they should take a picture of the undersurface.
Interesting thought on the MR. That leads me to think that perhaps a software update is in the works to unlock additional capacity from the 82 kWr battery since currently they are locked to 78. If they were to unlock more then you see a larger difference between the LR and MR capacity.
over 200 MYs parked at the south end of gigatexas this morning in two large groups - as seen in Joe's drone pics
Either MY-AWDs and/or MY-LRs - we may not know until April 7th.
My bet is if the new MY-AWD model does not show up on the Tesla ordering page by 4/7 then these are MY-LRs.

... or nothing happens on 4/7.
Elon shows up on stage, dances for a bit and retires for the day.

I feel like they'd put more of an effort into the semi if they thought it was really the key to profitability. Instead it seems to be a low margin product with relatively low priority and low volumes for at least the next couple of years. I mean, there can't be a huge amount of gross profit in a huge vehicle with massive batteries at only ~2x the cost of a S LR.
Fox isn’t a reliable source for anything.

That's been the Model Y range since at least mid 2021. Mine was delivered with 531km rated range. I don't know why they haven't advertised this.
Yes it does, the MYLR comes with a default config of induction wheels which takes it down 318, if you remove and add gemini you will see 330 in the configurator.

4/7: New Y lineup introduced with 4680 and MC - lineup includes AWD, LR and P.
*All new orders and those preexisting with EDD of 5/1 and beyond will receive a "new" LR or P.
4/8: Order banks for AWD open. Fremont starts production pause until ~4/18 for retooling.
Enjoy...

My bad. I ordered a P, never looked at the LR configurations
What's 'undersurface'?
The new MY v2.0 chassis uses a structural battery pack with front + rear megacasts.
The bare chassis has no floorpan. The pack becomes the floorpan. We've seen bare chassis, w/o floorpans, outside the building.
Supposedly all the chassis to be built at Austin are the new v2.0 version.
The jacking points under the car may have changed, but it's very minor. Could be a general change, could be the structural pack, could be a new battery.....all guessing.
Speculation until Tesla reveals anything.
Huh?
EPA rating for the MYLR with Gemini wheels is......wait for it......330 miles.
At least, that what it shows on the Tesla website I can find with a web browser.
Of course, the Tesla website also defaults to 20" wheels for the MYLR, with lower range but subsequent earlier estimated delivery.
You have to select the 19" Gemini wheel option to see 330 miles range estimate. And 2023 delivery....
I'd extend that to ALL main stream news media. Trust what you wish, but VERIFY.
It's become clear that you have to think for yourself. As if that wasn't always the case....
Undersurface of the car. If you look underneath, as you pointed out, the holes for the jack placement are different.
