Model Y - Gigafactory Texas Production

[kabin]

There isn't an "original price" on MYAWD - it didn't exist at the time of the order.

Yes obviously not but that's not the "original price" I was mentioning.

 

[kabin]

Yep, and the people who tend to be seeing MYAWD offers have reservations which were made in 2022, ...

Not sure what you're basing that on as I'm seeing folks with Oct 2021 EDDs get offers to switch. And from a profit standpoint it makes more sense for Tesla to get early EDDs off the books before 2022 EDDs.

I think you mean Oct 2021 OD, not EDD. And I agree folks with a 2021 OD have little reason to take any MYAWD offer.

They showed the NEW 2170 Battery Pack at the open house, using Front and Rear Castings and they've been pumping cars out for three months. Austin has the same production line.

GigaBerlin isn't using the front casting yet... Fremont has been using the rear casting, originally two pieces, from the beginning...

GigaTexas does not use the same production line...

MontyFloyd is right. All these arguments about whether it is possible to put a 2170 Battery Pack in an Austin built MYLR are ended by just looking at Berlin. They showed the NEW 2170 Battery Pack at the open house, using Front and Rear Castings and they've been pumping cars out for three months. Austin has the same production line. As soon as a, "regular customer" gets one of the many cars now coming out of Austin we'll know if they're YLR (too few people are taking the AWD bait). BTW, Fremont can't do any of this because, (as argued elsewhere on the Forum), Fremont is only using Rear Castings (regardless of how many Front Castings the drone flights are showing laying around outside).

See the post above. You have misinformation. Tesla has said they will not build structural 2170 packs at Austin. And what you are suggesting is taking a standard 2170 pack and encasing it in something structural which then makes it a structural 2170 pack. Just because the 2170 cells themselves aren’t structural, doesn’t mean the overall pack isn’t structural. Because the 4680 pack is structural, anything replacing it needs to be structural.

Austin is huge. It makes no sense to bottleneck a line by mixing battery types when they can create a new line for one type of batteries and churn out many more cars.

Austin delivery question. If the car was built in April, why did they wait until June to give it to a customer ?

Tesla starts 2022 Model Y customer deliveries from Giga Texas [Video]

Tesla has kicked off the 2022 Model Y’s customer deliveries from Gigafactory Texas. One of the first customers to receive a Model Y from Giga Texas shared a review of his new vehicle with the public. According to the host of YouTube’s Spoken Reviews channel, he recently received a Tesla Model Y...

Summary from that video Hwy speeds 75 mph 240 miles on a full charge. V3 SC tops out at 820 mi/hr for a moment. 10-80% in 35 min.

Slower charging curve than the current LR MY, even with a smaller battery.

its possible that they are taking it easy on the new batteries till more data is produced

I'd have to believe that's the case, because that's incredibly slow for such a small battery.

Missing parts is often a cause.

$39,990 Base price is great... $20k for AWD is a bit much haha. I still say, sell this at $50k and we have a winner.

i mean it only make since
the person in that vid was with in the 1st 1700 so not very many to make a good data pull to adjust the curve yet

Similar article to the one above but this also mentions that some reservation holders outside of TX....as far away as FL are now getting offers to change to MYAWD.

It's $59,990.

It's really a bad deal unless you can get the car significantly faster. Most are being offered an exact trade for a worse car.

Maybe Tesla doesn't want this model to be a "winner". not just yet.... at least until the production catches up.

Totally agree. I don't understand why they are offering this to people with EDDs of June and July. Nor why some MYP orders have been offered this. If Tesla wants to clear these off the lot they should be offering to those with EDDs into 2023. Those people, like myself, may actually bite. Also those people won't see a MYAWD price that is greater than their MYLR price.

The newer cars are at a higher price. The older ones they want to sell faster as cost of parts rise. As they get people to migrate it shifts LYMR deliveries faster.

I think they do that to make registration taxes more manageable. In Minnesota my annual tax is calculated from the base MSRP before options. That means I'll pay tax on a $40k vehicle instead of a $60k vehicle.

Hopefully it eventually becomes a cheaper model. Our 2020 LR AWD was about $12k cheaper than a 2022.

A couple of years ago you could ignore inflation but nowadays it has to be considered to have any hope of a reasonable price comparison
