Model Y - Gigafactory Texas Production

[TJ21CT]

Huh.. We have someone who took delivery who does NOT work for Tesla.

Show me the money. All this shows is he attended the Cyber Rodeo and took pictures in or around vehicles that were there. The one they were sitting in was parked across the lot from the petting zoo.

If this is the case then count me in as first recipient of a Cybertruck and Semi.

I was thinking the same thing but then found his LinkedIn profile where it shows he has been a Tesla employee for 4 years. Otherwise this could easily be fabricated but I think it is more legit since he works for them. Still, I would not be posting anything if I was an employee just to cover my a**.

The slower 0-60 time is the most interesting part here. I wonder if that’s just a software limit to differentiate the models or if there’s some physical limitation on power draw from the 4680 cells that makes it necessary.

He works for Tesla according to his Linked in profile.

His job history at Tesla isn't what I would have guessed unless he just passed the bar and has been working there during school, but even then, would think he'd do something more closely aligned to the legal department.

Same haha, I found him but typing in his first name, Tesla and legal. Maybe he is hoping to move into the Legal team or working to pass the bar.

This is the guy who right before the barbecue dinner with drones posted he was getting an Austin car, then yanked the tweet down after Sawyer etc promoted it. So he maybe already got a bit of a lecture. But seems to fancy himself a Twitter figure, so needed to post again for content.

I thought the name looked familiar, but then, it showed his profile as from Chicago, Il. But see in the Linked-In he has a few Chicago items so maybe he moved recently.

So I guess these recent developments close the door on whatever faint hope there was of the LR/P being built at Texas anytime soon.

Yes! lol i was so hoping to get my MYLR from texas but does not seem it will be happening.

In another development Jeff Roberts tweeted on APril 9th that texas is shipping casting to California.

During Rodeo Day, his location was still Chicago, IL, but he must have moved recently when having gotten the job at Tesla.

But says he has been working for Tesla for 4 yrs now. But maybe he was a Tesla Advisor at a Chicago SC and took job in Logistics back in Sept and moved to Austin.

I am loving all of our collective efforts to do this detective work haha!

This thread has run the full gamut of emotions: unbridled hope, the depths of despair and now.... acceptance

That would be interesting if true... Since it's unlikely Tesla will want to pump out MY Dual Motor sr-plus at both factories since... that doesn’t help current huge order backlog at all. Hundreds of thousands of people waving cash, saying “take it!"
But thought Fremont could already do its own?

I’m reposting. My post here.

I messaged a SA about the Model Y mud flaps and ppf. He gave me more information than I thought I would get. So it is confirmed for me. That my Model Y will be a Fremont Build. Check the screenshot.

Have you seen the 0-60 time posted for the Standard AWD model?

I'm curious to know what the carpeted pillar & trunk is...

It’s in the source code on the MY configurator page. It’s 5 seconds.

Yes what a great use of time stalking this guy and his work history. Does anyone, besides @Jones1 (thank you), actually have any useful information regarding production and delivery out of Texas?
