One Piece Front Casting Missing from Austin Build?

This site may earn commission on affiliate links.
I have a January 2023 Austin Built Model Y (VIN: ...3PA056xxx)
I was under the impression that all Texas built model Ys have both front and rear single-piece cast structures.
I can see the rear one through gaps in the wheel well, behind the rear wheel. I can even see the part number label stating as such.

From what I can see in the front wheel wells, and under the hood, I'm seeing all stamped steel and spot welds.
2 questions:
  • Is it possible they are building Model Ys in Texas without the single-piece front?
  • Can anyone see their front single-piece cast structure by looking through the wheel well, etc? How to verify?

No real problem either way, the car is amazing. Just looking for information on how mine is configured.
