Model Y LR built in Giga Austin!!

[ZenRockGarden]

If what others have said is true (that the supply of AWD from Tesla direct is dwindling) it might suggest they have stopped 4680-AWD production and shifted to 2170-LR/P where they can ramp without battery constraints (and switch back when the 4680 bottleneck is over)

I'm not seeing a drop in MYAWD - in fact today's news was that Tesla is expanding the program (and raised the price on MYAWD which is just basically keeping it in line with the price increases across all Tesla products):

Tesla expands availability of new Texas-built Model Y and raises the price

Tesla has expanded the availability of its new Texas-built Model Y by adding units to new inventory, and it raised...

I got $20 that says this will end up being an MYSR AWD if its coming out of Austin.. any takers? lol

FYI.. MYSR AWD are actually showing up in Tesla Inventory now. For delivery in the Miami area only

Spoken Reviews pulled some screenshots from FB. So, a bit more data for us to analyze.

There is no proof of them being 4680s though, I believe he spoke too soon on the title.

It will be both fun and interesting to see what's actually going on.

Clearly MYAWD output seems to be going up as they are shipping them more widely.

In this thread we either have rare early evidence of a second MYLR line being opened at Austin, or another round of internet fools making thing up - a practice which is both baffling and quite common.

Best news is that $20 bet should be provable in about a week one way or the other.

Well, we KNOW that Austin has produced a few MY's with 4680 batteries, and made them available to local folks who had a MY on order. His car has the 279 mile range, so the assumption by everyone is that it is indeed a 4680 car. The Electrek article linked above also shows cars with 279 mile range in inventory and notes they are 4680 cars.

I agree, all of these legit-looking posts are simply examples of people with MYAWD, which have been shipping for months and are not news.

An Austin built MYLR -would- be news, if only we could get proof it's not a bunch of internet trolls and people mis-reading what their MYAWD is.

I will gladly take your $20

As for MYSR AWD... they are definitely popping up in FL in small numbers. There are actually more available that in the public inventory (and offered to FL folk) but given the high price of them I'm not interested.

I remember back in April Austin event, staff at factory said there will be multiple lines. So having both SR and LR lines will likely happen in Austin. However, Given the low yield of 4680 and high piled up LR orders, the line for LR is not likely to have 4680.

Regardless, the upcoming LR from Austin will have all other’s components that SR have. So congratulations and enjoy.

That’s my car in the screenshot. I’ll pick it up next Tuesday

I am more curious as to the story of the monkey in the photo:

...and, we have what looks like our third never-before-posted, created in last hour account with a magical Austin MYLR. Unicorns are being minted rapidly in Texas.

All you need to do is show a snapshot of the vin on the car itself, and a picture of the charging screen on the the tesla interface in the car showing the slider at 100% and what that value is.

Rest assured some genius would point out that the photos could have come from different cars.
I imagine that OP will eventually receive a document from Tesla that has the VIN and enough car details to identify its trim.

congratulations - maybe we are seeing real LRs now
When did you order?

This is quite the well-organized caper if all of these accounts aren't legit.

Agreed; with the terribly insidious end-game of.....nothing. lol

I understand the skepticism based on past postings but for the life of me I can't figure out the "why?"(if it is a hoax)

 

[ZenRockGarden]

I hope it turns out to be at least mostly-legit, since it would mean increased MYLR production for the US.

That said... we have probably hundreds of texans on here discussing and waiting for cars and all the unicorn Austin MYLR's just so happen to go to people who also happened to create an account an hour ago?

And why did that guy just grace us with a wobbly single shot video of his MY for the whole video? If you don’t wanna be on camera put that puppy on a tripod and quit giving us motion sickness

just seen someone post this on FB. Looks legit.

With a deposit from July 2020? Yeah sure. LOL

EDIT: Also the MVPA is dated 2021?

It’s my car. Just talked to Tesla, it’s not 4680
