Tesla shipping Texas made Model Y AWD to end customers

[Ogre]

To date shipments have been limited to employees. Tesla is now shipping the new Model Y out to end customers in the Austin area.

This is good. Hopefully it means production is speeding up and they are happy with battery performance!

Hopefully these gets into the hands of some forum members and we can get an idea of the battery size, weight and other specs that Tesla never gives us or a definitive answer to.

Do we know if these have the new Battery Tech? If so, I wonder if it will charge faster, or just Accelerate faster than a standard "Fremont" Y?

Yes, we don't know, probably not.

Yes. Though you need to keep the wheel size large enough for the brakes. It's why there's such a range difference when selecting different wheels.

They have been selling these for three weeks, these were available for the $7500 if you took delivery before 31 Dec 22 and only to Texans?
