Model Y LR built in Giga Austin!!

[ddhir]

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!

Can you clarify if you have a MYAWD with 279 miles of range, or a MYLR with 330 mile range?

LR 330 miles - ordered in Oct 2021

Somewhat skeptical as there was a bunch of fakes posted a while back, but if you really did get one congrats, that's pretty cool.

What are the rest of the options on your build? (FSD/seats/tow/etc)

 

[ddhir]

I’m assuming my MY LR will be the same as the MY LR built in Fremont as I understand that 4680 battery is only for the MY SR (279 miles) model…..will know for sure after I get delivery next week

 

[ZenRockGarden]

I wonder if this is the same reservation that the poster was trying to sell in March?

 

[ddhir]

Yup, was getting frustrated with the delays - then changed my mind and stuck out to wait some more (Had ordered it in Oct 2021)

5-seater config, Black color paint, black seats, Gemini wheels

There was a thread on InsideEVs a while back about Austin producing Model Ys with both 4680 and 2170 cells. Wouldn't be surprised if this is starting due to the low yield of 4680s right now.

Tesla Will Build Model Y In Austin With Both 4680 And 2170 Cells

The Q1 2022 Shareholder Deck document reveals plans for Gigafactory Texas to produce Model Ys with non-structural packs featuring 2170 cells later this year.

Isn't the decoder just reading static values though? It will spit out whatever correlative values you give it.

I’m hoping the build quality is as good (if not better) than what’s being built in Fremont

Come on guys, don't feed the troll, You're better than this, lol.

 

[LargeHamCollider]

I’m going to bet that this is not a Mosel Y LR. I bet it’s a Model Y AWD with 279 miles of range.

Yeah, all it means is that it hasn't been proven wrong...yet.

If it turned up as model X from fremont we could have discounted it right away.

I need something to do while waiting 11 months for my car. Let me have my fun

My order agreement is for Long Range (330 miles) as that was the only other variation other than Performance model in Oct 2021.
They introduced Short Range (279 Mike) variant in Jan 2022.

Unless you show that the specific car for which you have an Austin VIN right now is indeed a long range, which is doubtful, we'll probably have to assume you have agreed to take delivery of the MY AWD Standard Range (279 mi) and you're just trolling.

Nothing you've shown here indicates that that VIN is a LR.

 

[arbitrage000]

Maybe Tesla got the 2170 line up and running in Austin?
Or fake news....take your pick.
What I'm sure this is not is a LR 4680.
