Sorry but this is totally incorrect.
4680 cells are in Model Y AWD (Tesla's nomenclature). Not SR, not RWD (that version is only sold overseas and uses LFP batteries).
A lot more than 30 employees have MY AWD. Many customers bought them either by invite (because they lived near Austin) or via inventory.
There is a batch of them hitting inventory right now that customers can buy.
Tesla adds over 50 Model Y AWD SUVs with 4680 cells to existing inventory
Tesla has yet to officially add the Model Y All-Wheel Drive (AWD) with 4680 cells and a structural battery pack to its online configurator, but today more than 50 of the new SUVs were added […]

My neighbor took delivery on 12/30. His has it. He actually took a flight from LA to San Jose and picked up his car at Fremont in order to take advantage of the $7500 flash discount.

I’m referring to the first run shortly after Austin had opened. Those were “standard range rear wheel drive” only models. They only produced 30 in that first ever 4860 trial run. Since then Austin has made more, and in different variants I’m sure. But, it’s not a product that a regular customer could order either from Tesla.com or by calling an SA. This was exclusively offered in-house. The additional runs allowed “special clients” to order.Sorry but this is totally incorrect.

Heater wipers would be great unfortunately you get a windshield which has a defroster where they sit when at rest and not heated wipers. Honestly, not much help of a feature in real winter. Once again, something designed for California winters.
Around Jan of 2021.

Interesting. Never heard of a 4680 Standard range RWD out of Austin. Can you provide a source for that information as I'd like to read up on it?
Regardless, the 4680 MY AWD has trickled out into inventory ever so often over the past ~6months or so. Now we are seeing an even bigger surge of these cars into inventory as the article I linked talks about. There are a couple threads about them showing up in inventory in January on TMC. You can't custom order a MY AWD but you can keep an eye on inventory and get your hands on one ordering off of the Tesla website. Or you can have an SA search the internal inventory to find you one. I don't see any evidence that the MY AWD was only offered to special clients. Many TMC members with no affiliation with Tesla were offered to replace their MYLR orders with MYAWD in order to get a car sooner. You can search back for a number of threads on this.

These have been available since early 2021 build date cars. My “2021” MY has them. This isn’t new for “2022” or “2023” years.

My March 20th 2021 build MY has heated steering. My friend’s Jan 2021 build MY does not have the heated wheel. But it’s hard to place, around those months somewhere. Sometime with a 3-4 month window after that AC started to include the bio weapon defense mode too.

No more USS
No more passenger electric lumber feature
No more adjustable regen
No more multi port USB in console
Probably more but cannot remember.
Only thing I wish my 2020 would have is the heated wheel otherwise I would not change it for what they have done.

I couldn’t tell you to be sure. But, it’s worth noting that all of the upgrades and improvements rolled out on NA cars were always shown in the China cars first.
The added trim to the doors, car colorizer (from the UI to much custom exterior wraps), and the rear privacy cover in the trunk are all examples of features first debuting in cars from Giga Shanghai. So with that, I wouldn’t doubt that the Chinese cars have had the glass since day one. As far as rear windows having the 2x glass I don’t think any Tesla currently has that from either factory yet. But, if they do start putting 2x glass in the rear I wouldn’t be surprised if Giga Shanghai starting doing it first.
