Tried that because my TA and chat were giving me contradictory answers.
I actually stopped by a my pick up location yesterday and talked to one of the SA ( manager) by random. Told him I was picking next week and ask some random questions about delivery process then asked if my MY will arrive with the new Ryzen package. He actually grabbed his laptop and ran my vin and told me I do have the Ryzen package. This was my second confirmation.
Yes, I think this is the only explanation that makes any sense. That some Intel built cars were waiting for a rework or parts and those have just been released.
That theory sounds right but Tesla doesn't wait to add VIN's so those would have old VIN numbers. What we are seeing here are fresh builds with high number VIN's. Those could be new cars built with older contents but certainly aren't old cars being reworked.
As a repairer I can tell you that they are not going to swap back and fourth during production. At least not for a short period. When repairing a Tesla you have to look up parts and wiring diagrams based on build date. At some point we will learn the definitive cutoff dates.
This doesn’t seem right to me. Fremont is producing over 1000 cars per day, and based on what I’ve gleaned on this site, many (most?) of the cars built over the past 5 days have had intel in them. That’s thousands of cars, more than just a few hanging around the factory for rework.
Build date isn't enough. They have multiple production lines so one may be using Intel while another may be using AMD on the same day.
Of course this is just one data point, but I received my MYLR VIN today and it was NF377xxx which is right in the VIN range of 376-380 where we have been seeing cars (mostly MYP) with Intel Atom CPUs. My SA said he "checked" (rather than talk off the top of his head) and confirmed that my car has the AMD Ryzen and the new "12V" Li-ion battery.
This actually happened to me. Couple of days after delivery (with the Ryzen chip), I had mobile service come and install Homelink, and the mobile tech couldn't enable homelink with his computer since the connector had changed and he didn't have the right cable and said he will need to come back end of the day with the right cable in case they couldn't turn it on remotely. Luckily they were able to turn on homelink remotely.
When working on a Tesla, you need to know build date and factory. There won’t be any difference in cars built the same day for this technical reason. Switching builds for a few days is not ideal but has happened in the past.
Only Tesla can pull this one-off. You are lucky that you ordered a MYLR and not a MYP. I feel sorry for MYP folks.

Mine hasn't been delivered yet (got the 377xxx VIN today), but it does have the tow hitch and the SA said he "confirmed" that it has the Ryzen and "12V" Lithium battery.Can someone confirm whether or not anyone else has received a AMD Ryzen processor that has a factory installed tow hitch? Just read on another thread that there is a link to the 12V lead acid battery not playing nice with the trailer hitch wiring harness so they are building them with the lesser battery until they can develop the adapter that will work correctly. Again I am not saying this is true just saw it on the the Blue waiting room thread. If there is any truth to this I may attempt to change my order to "No Tow". It's not like I am pulling a trailer. I just wanted it for bike rack a few times a year.

Got bumped up to April 11 - May 9, from July. Anyone else’s date move? My EDD hasn't budged for about 6 weeks now.
I just saw that I also got my VIN today 02/12 and mine is (F377XXX). Not sure if the SA is available on Sundays to text me back but I left a message with 9 questions that I copied from another member which includes: AMD Ryzen chip?, build date?, Lithium ion battery?, which tires? Hope I hear back from them with the answers I want to hear.
