Looks like theyre shipping out the Texas built MYPs with 4680s from a recent picture that has been circulating around. Honestly, id rather wait a little and have the newest tech than have regrets getting it a tad bit earlier with older tech. I put my order in November last year, a couple friends of mine put an order in like august and one last month. We're all narrowing in on the same delivery days sometime in March. Im making the assumption they're transitioning everyone to 4680 Austin built Ys.
I also tried to go look at an ioniq 5 the other day and it had a $10k markup making it more expensive than a MYP. EQS I saw had a $40k markup. Tesla.. no markup. If you want one today, tons of legacy dealers out there bought a bunch of used teslas that will sell them to you this minute with a $10k markup. I am burnt out by traditional car dealers with sales and service. When they manufacture things to scale, they will figure out how to keep their service department churning. As much as Tesla can suck sometimes, we take for granted what they did to the industry to flip them on their head. Im sure other manufactures will come out with good products, but im going to stick with Tesla as I don't think anyone is close to them when it comes to software and battery management. I also support their whole direct to consumer business model. No need to deal with some scammy finance guy who hides nitrogen filled air or something in a 6 foot dot matrix print out who guilt trips you to accepting it so he doesn't need to reprint the whole thing again. Tesla's process is like 5 min max. I don't think I ever want to buy a car from a traditional dealer ever again.
