My friend works at Fremont and they are not shutting down anytime soon
The MYLR I am getting delivery on this Thursday is an Austin build with the matrix headlights.Time to move to Texas I guess
That’s what I thought when I saw the photos as well. KWC Diu - am interested in your analysis on why you think these are matrix.
Yup... Not matrix you can see the difference in the first pic and the 2nd in the austin LR.

1. Yes, we agree
2. Can you please post your source. It is not available on the internet as cataloged by Google.
3. I have said nothing about the megacasts being engineering exercises. I think they are frat for easier assembly and cost reduction. What I have said was they would be bad if the front required a major change to the current 2170 chassis to use based on your suggestions of needing to add a floor. This is where you confused me and where we disagree but is maybe just a poor choice of words early on by either/both of us. The current rear megacast with 2170 already has a floorpan. Adding the front megast should cause zero changes in the rest of the 2170 chassis. There is no need to “add a floor” to be able to use the front megacast. Should be as simple as removing multiple robots and replacing with the one or two needed to attach the new piece once it is rolled or hoisted into place.
Or the whimsical forum assumptions that it is something Other then what is advertised.
Tesla was pretty clear that they would be producing 2170 MYLR & P at Austin similar to Fremont and Germany. The 4680, processor and Matrix lights rumors did not come from them. The only thing unexpected was the addition of the rear shelf.
EDIT: I hust realized that this is the EOQ push so all the Texas people getting the Cars makes sense , they are trying to boost the Q2 Numbers and they have another 2 days to do it. I suspect other parts of the country will start to get cars from Texas when the New Quarter begins.

That's your first mistake, believing anything the SA tells you about your future car. When I got the VIN for my MYP, they told me it had Pirelli summer tires and "the latest Intel gaming computer". It arrived with Michelin Pilot A/S tires and the updated AMD chip.
Update: volunteer acquired
Hey TMC members!
As more and more of you are receiving your Giga Texas Model Y’s we’d like to proactively reach out to anyone who has taken delivery and help us ensure fitment for these models. We are looking for anyone interested in receiving a complementary set of floor mats from LDCRS in exchange for helping us test fit and providing some pictures/video!

Will you be having a mat for the rear upper sub-trunk as well?
We will have 3 different pieces for this launch:
Rear trunk
Rear sub trunk
Front trunk
So you’re getting a Standard Range? I believe it’s rated at 279 miles for the range.
More interesting data on this topic. Texas-made Tesla Model Y with 4680 battery charges 0-97% in under 1 hourInteresting article on Electrek about the charging profile. They note that, "[w]hen breaking it down, the 4680 battery cell actually appears to have at least a 10% higher peak C rate and average C rate" and also pointed that the 2170 MY had several software updates pushed out over time that increased the charging rate as more data became available.
