Model Y - Gigafactory Texas Production
- Thread starter Ron J.
- Start date
Can anyone speculate as to why there is such a lack of VINs being assigned to the East Coast? I know it is usually slow at the start of a new quarter, but I've never seen anything remotely like this. I'm not suggesting Austin builds or anything like that as the reason, I'm just genuinely curious.
East coast here. Northeast to be precise.
Build: MYLR Midnight Silver, 19 inch wheels, white interior.
OD: October 2021
Profile completion: March 2022 (cause I didn't know)
EDD: Aug - Sept
Someone please send help! What's more insane, half a year wait is fine, but almost a years wait is insane!
Before the Austin and Berlin Gigafactories came online, during the first part of a new quarter Tesla produces cars that are for overseas orders first. Then towards the middle of the quarter, East Coast starts getting shipments. Deliveries then start to move west across the US, finishing with the West Coast towards the end of the quarter.
With the 2 new gigafactories now online, that will most likely shift soon, if not already. That's pure speculation on my part.
This only applied to Model 3. Fremont never exported Model Y internationally. European Y deliveries came from Shanghai.

Profile completion as in finance choice?
I have this exact configuration, am on the East Coast, and I ordered at the end of January. MY EDD is July 11 to August 22.
I agree. Very interesting. Their excuse can be "gathering data". Then when they are no longer concerned about screwing up sales for Fremont that can bump the 0-60 a bit, and then sell a bigger bump via software update.
IMO the correct way to think about the impact of Austin is from Tesla point of view, not the crazed desire of future customers. They want smooth Model Y sales. They want to conserve 4680 cells for CT and semi. Maybe MY Austin has 60kwh?
Yup! SA told me to leave the financing blank as they will rerun my credit, initial edd was May 2022 then June 2022, as we inch closer to June started to check the forums only to find out I need to set the payment method & put cash as place holder in March. After I did, I got the precise date, August 15th - September 12th. Didn't change since, cries! Now I'm super pissed tbh, I was trying to get it before or by summer, because of misinfo, I now have to wait after summer and felt like I wasted an entire season / year after all we only have 1 summer per year.

Typically power output scales with battery pack size - a larger pack can put out more current. Now that doesn't factor in the new design elements of the 4680, but in general I'd expect a 15% smaller pack to have about 15% less peak power output.
Oh wait....... 19-inch. Soooooo it will have how much range with the 20’s?
@267?
Elasticity and pricing are tools that a lot of companies with monopolies in the market have used; OPEC is a prime case. They have stocks, but will shore up prices with trickle deliveries. People will add FSD, move to MYP and generally book now as tomorrow prices will increase more
Wouldn't be surprised if we see some improvements come out of Fremont for the MYLR to justify the price difference from the new SR AWD. They've been quiet these first few weeks of the quarter. Fingers crossed for matrix lights
It is there on the same page. 269 and 265 for different variations

Give me some sugar baby
All Chinese & German built LR MY have the matrix lights so it's coming to the US cars, just a question of when.
how did you know it was a standard range model? did you assume or there was another piece of information that led you to think it was SR
I am guessing the gemini vs induction and 5 vs 7 seater.
