There’s PLENTY of buyers who don’t know nor care about Intel vs Amd.

Thank you for providing the links. I have been away and had no chance to update/upgrade the tracker, but I am glad that we have a number of members entering their info. Thank you, everyone.
We were told by the Service Center manager today that our MYP had Ryzen, heated wipers, and Li-Ion when we asked as we started our delivery process.
When we asked he looked up the build date and said that it would be in there.
Sadly I trusted him and didn’t verify while in the lot.
Low and behold, when we got home I checked and we have an Intel.
Called Tesla and no option at this point. No retrofit of MCU at this time.
Very unfortunate. My fault for not verifying on the spot, but should also be able to trust the manager of the SC.
Stings even more since we delayed our December delivery to wait specifically for these updates. Ill probably email Tesla later to see if there’s any chance of a retrofit but I’m doubtful.
VIN: 379xxx
Sorry to hear this. You still have an amazing vehicle and there will always be something better on the horizon. I hate to perpetuate rumors but, if range is a greater benefit that in-car entertainment, then you'll be happy to know that the Intel models have better range (if the rumors are valid). Go enjoy that badass MYP for its strengths, the "flaws" will pale in comparison.
Took delivery today, alas it's an Intel chip F380XXX. Hope there is a retrofit option eventually. Luckily got 1.24% financing on this car, so can't complain there. Good luck to everyone else!
Yeap...A vast majority of their buyers won't know or care. I suppose if somehow you got through to them the details around it and explained it to them they might care....but people are very happy NOT knowing.
Can we trouble you for the next digit that follows the 0? Asking because F380XXX seems to be the point where they switched back to AMD. For example, it looks like F3800XX thru F380799 appear to be Intel. Above F3800800 appear to be AMD.
I'm about to be you. Can you please tell me if your infotainment center seems fast/responsive with the likes of youtube or spotify? Maybe Ryzen isnt that much faster? I'm running out of time to make up my mind (this Sunday is pickup day). I really really appreciate any and all response!!

Realistically, how often do you think you'll use those entertainment features? Sure, the load times will be a bit better with AMD, but once the app is running, it's not like Intel has performance issues.
Think objectively, if Tesla didn't offer those entertainment options, would you have ordered the MYP? What I'm getting at is, were the entertainment options a factor at all when deciding to order? If not, then don't let it hold you back now. Don't let FOMO (fear of missing out) rule your life, it's paralyzing and ultimately ends up with you missing out one way or another. Not trying to judge, just offering some advice to be objective and have perspective on this.
I had a chance to see AMD in person and I can tell you that it is more than just entertainment. AMD makes a difference in cameras and rendering as well. In the future, if Tesla decides to use heavier 3d models for cars intel will struggle.
From Reddit: "Model S redesign and Model Y both have the same AMD Ryzen chip, the S has 16 gigs of RAM and the Y has 8. But the S has to drive 3 screens instead of 1."
Now car still drives the same, but if you can get AMD, it is a worthy upgrade!
TBH, you roll the dice with any Tesla that comes off the line. You could be passing on an Intel equipped MYP that has zero quality issues just to end up with an AMD model with paint and other defects.
Everyone has different priorities, but I personally wouldn't let the processor be the deciding factor.
Mine was a LR model 3800XX, I do noticed it takes a while to load apps like Netflix, YouTube, Disney + etc. I couldn't reject because already placed on hold one time and was on their cancellation campaign.
You're bang on. I didn't buy the car before knowing about this intel amd *sugar*. I think though it is an accumulation of things knowing that not only am I missing out on this chip but I'm also not getting the lithium ion battery nor heated windshield. But, I guess I don't live in Canada.
I recently upgraded from an Intel MYSR to an AMD MYLR. The AMD is noticeably faster, but not mind blowingly so. Apps that take 10 to 15 seconds to load on Intel take about 5 to 7 seconds on AMD. Camera lag that was present on Intel is not present on AMD. The UI is snappier. QOL improvements for sure, but not something you can't live without.

Seems like more people care about the heated wipers more than anything else.

I think Austin made ones will also have the dual pane glass in the back, the updated doors like the M3 or MIC Model y, and the Matrix lights for all model Ys. Hope they update Fremont and shut it down for a bit like they did for the S just recently.
