Want MY from Austin not Fremont

[al_seT]

What do you do to guarantee you get an Austin produced MY? Live in CA. Don’t want Fremont. Heck I would use my aunts address and get a Texas DL if it would help. Main reason is the casting and chance of getting air suspension. Placed order on 08/21. ETA 06/22.

Just get your car. It’s a great car no matter what. No sense holding out.

This is what I did. Originally I was holding out for an Austin MY too, but I decided to stop waiting and just order my car already. If I end up with a Fremont MY and Austin produces a much better version, then I'll just sell or trade my MY in for a new one. Chances are I won't bother because the current MY is good enough for me anyway.

Wait until after they begin delivering Austin production vehicles and then buy one used.

Nope, no joke. Tesla showroom advisor stated my MY would be coming from Fremont, which does not offer casting as it’s not set-up for it. I want casting, thus my inquiry.

Same here. Want 3-piece casting.

Then don't order until they make the AWD SR available for ordering. It's that simple.

I hate to ask this... what is the 'casting' option coming into play?

My Tesla SA told me Austin will be supplying MY's for the east coast and Fremont will be supplying MY's for the west & midwest. Eventually Fremont will also be upgraded to make the triple casted MY's with the structural battery too, but there is no date for when that happens yet.

Seeing how you live in CA, if you really want a MY from Austin then I think you need to cancel your order and wait until Fremont gets upgraded in the near future.

there's no 'triple-casted' MY.
There are only Front and Rear castings for the MY chassis.
99+% of MY are built using the single, REAR casting only, using a 2170-based battery pack.
If the chassis has both F+R castings, then it uses a structural battery pack. So far only the MY-AWD is this config, only from Austin.

Both Fremont and Austin are primarily making Rear castings - only MY chassis with 2170 battery packs right now.

there's no 3-piece casting
just F+R castings.
99+% of MY chassis being built use the REAR casting only, with a 2170 battery pack.
Only the MY-AWD has so far been built using F+R castings and 4680 structural battery pack, and they've only been sold to employees so far.

2 options:

1. Wait until the features you want becomes the standard and then place your order.
2. Buy out someone's VIN with all the items that you're looking for.

Also, just like all "tech" purchases, there will always be something better in the next release. Just get it based on your need. If you don't need a car now, wait it out.

I'm from Southern California. I put in my MY order June 2022. I got my VIN yesterday, It is from Austin.
