Not a debate but like a magic trick they let us see what they Want us to see and our facts are often based on that perception.

Any examples from the past that are similar to this? Where they’ve showed us one thing then surprised us with something vastly superior when all the kinks were worked out?
I think you will find the exact opposite the majority of the time. News leaks point one way or Elon promises something and we get less than what was expected or pay more for it. FSD, Model 3 being $35k, 4680, etc. Yes there are a few shining moments like Model Y deliveries commencing earlier than announced but I think you will find the vast majority of the time Tesla disappoints when following through on promises so I doubt they are teasing us with lower range than expecting on to follow up with surprise! Free extra range on the order of 30-50 miles. Please see earlier in this thread where the cost of software unlocking to Tesla is discussed (all those extra cells cost money and they’d need a >50% take rate on the unlock for it to be profitable, not a good bet from a financial standpoint, especially during a ramp where every cell is precious).
Should be interesting to see how this plays out:

Model Y LR built in Giga Austin!!
Super excited…just received the VIN for my Model Y LR (AWD). The delivery is scheduled for next week and it seems from the VIN that the MY LR (AWD) was built in Giga Austin!

so far they've all been fake.Should be interesting to see how this plays out:

I have a Y-LR on order and live <30 miles from the factory and so far not one LR has shown up in the cars being offered.
Every single one has been a Y-AWD
As others have posted - if you switch to an Austin car you will pay current price for it.
Very interesting though - I just checked this morning. No more offers of Austin cars.
Tesla has upped the price of Austin MYAWD by $2K

Giga Texas Model Y AWD gets $2,000 price increase
The Model Y AWD is now just $7,430 cheaper than what Tesla was selling the Model S for in 2020 at the meme-worthy price of $69,420.

My buddy who ordered an MY LR back in mid-September 2021 just got his VIN......and it appears to be coming from Austin based on the 11th character of his VIN. He lives about 25 miles for the factory. Told him to let me know when he gets a delivery date.

If the rumor is true, that's good news. At some point you have to move forward with what works.

4680 remains in only modest supply, as their production yields remain inconsistent
Giga Texas still only making 50-60 MY per day
2170 structural packs are possible, but an unlikely complication to a newly built factory still ramping up
I was very skeptical at first (and still am a little) but Troy Teslike agrees, which makes me believe it is probably true.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.
Let's see a MYLR with an NA VIN.
It's possible, but is GigaTexas set up to
a) make 2170 structural battery packs
b) is the production line capable of flexing between different packs, including the added chassis floorpan stiffener for the 2170 pack (despite just getting rolling recently)
(also, the seat mounting is different - again a potentially different assembly station)
Finally, are people confusing terminology ? (AWD is close to the MYLR description terminology)
Look, the battery has the same chemistry and more density which makes it harder to cool. In terms of performance there just isn’t any magic here.
It’s almost sole advantage is Tesla can make it cheaper.
Anything else is else is rationalizing getting taken in by that battery day hogwash.

The same fanboy influencers that bought the previous fakes are getting aboard. They learned lessons but are ignoring them because they’re always desperate for content.Should be interesting to see how this plays out:

Maybe it’s real. But there’s no proof of that we didn’t see with the earlier fakes.
There’s already another thread in the general forum that is exploding with excitement over how much “better” the full casting will be than the existing
Someone needs to get an Austin MYLR and a MY AWD to a Public Scale and weigh them.There’s already another thread in the general forum that is exploding with excitement over how much “better” the full casting will be than the existing
I guess in another week we should know if Austin is rolling out MY-LRs. I think we all expected this to happen at some point, but it was just a question of when. Assuming this is happening now, then the real question is how will Tesla handle any differences between the Fremont and Austin built MY-LR models. For example, will Fremont built MY's get the same updates as the Austin built MY's from this point going forward?
