This is what I want answered. Elon seems to have delivered some of the Ys to his employees, but we already know that his employees have been driving the Austin Ys for weeks. So what is new? No customer has reported they got an Austin Y.

HahahahaI got one, but declined it because of the longhorn hood ornament. Having to close the frunk by the horns was just too difficult.
At least you know it came from Giga TexadI got one, but declined it because of the longhorn hood ornament. Having to close the frunk by the horns was just too difficult.
My 2022 MYP is at 18% right now with 54 miles. Just sayin.
That’s within spec.I got one, but declined it because of the longhorn hood ornament. Having to close the frunk by the horns was just too difficult.
I think the 4680 cells have been a flop and that’s why they don’t say anything about efficiency and range improvement anymore. He said it is safer and lighter and easier to manufacture but no mention of improved efficiency or range. I could be wrong but the whole situation is fishy. They say deliveries have begun but no VIN numbers out yet and no change to the online contigurator. Something does not add up.
But the website says 303???
Just kidding. I think people are taking this way too seriously. Until there is a production vehicle confirmed with boots on the ground then we all should just chill. I’ve posted what I know as facts. Maybe the long range will become the standard range? Maybe standard range will be for commercial use only. Who knows. I don’t think it’s worth getting your panties all bunched up though. Maybe also, just maybe the ones that were delivered to the people last night just don’t post here or care. Is there a life outside Tesla motor club??
Totally agree , I think they are deliberately holding back information to make up for their bad planning or technical issues. I think this is hurting thier image, it will come back to bit them. Sad because I really like the style of the car.
Not sure if he's an employee but someone posted about taking delivery at Cyber Fest before deleting the tweet.

I saw that circulating, then nothing afterward. I never saw good footage of the deliveries last night.
It's also very possible that there are NDAs involved with the initial deliveries. I agree with everyone above though, the lack of ANY meaningful information last night makes it look like they are trying obfuscate or hide something.
Lol I mean why would they have NDAs? The love the publicity when someone posts online about their new Tesals. They have already announced 4680 MY prodcued at Austin. What is there to hide? Unless there is no viable product yet?
One possible scenario is that they are still not ready to begin customer deliveries but Elon being Elon said something on Twitter and they had to go through with the Gigafest party. He initially said April 1 but then postponed it to April 7. His timeslines have always been too optimistic.

Not sure if this has been bought up, but pretty sure it would be illegal for them to actually take delivery of the Ys there. They'd surely have to take delivery out of state, and this was just for show?

Yes, they've already said they are only doing 4680 with the structural battery at Austin. If the cell production is constrained then a lower range car with far fewer cells let's them fill more orders in the short term.
Perhaps as 4680 issues with yield, performance, etc., get resolved they will start building all trims there, maybe they already are, who the hell knows?
