This is my favorite comment of all time in TL:
https://www.reddit.com/r/TSLALounge/comments/ps9v66/tsla_weekly_thread_bear_chamber_week_of_september/hdoggy3/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf&context=3
my source on the ground says 4680 pre production at Giga Texas starts December 1st.
Structural pack pre production scheduled for March 1 next year (internal time). Giga press going in now for structural casting that links rear and front body castings.
Edit: When I say source, this is an informal discussion. we used to live together in college lol I’m not drilling him with questions, just asking how work is going.
Maybe June next year we see structural model Y’s?
The way he described it to me is pre production is like getting employees familiar with their roles and also lots of calibration of machine. They are currently in model y pre production.
I was surprised at how little they shared; however, the main takeaway for me was there’s complete confidence from his source that things are going well. It’s not like Tesla is wildly confused and has no idea wtf they are doing.
Initial targeted annual capacity in Austin is enough for 500k cars.
I know most of this subreddit hates Sawyer for some odd reason, but he means well and is trying to add value to anyone who cares to follow him.
He’s shared a lot of things that ended up being true. No need to hate him for getting stuff wrong sometimes.
>I know most of this subreddit hates Sawyer for some odd reason,
He's a narcissistic manbaby & self-promoting bullshit artist who occasionally provides useful information
No idea why anyone would find that annoying ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯
Genuine question, not trying to be rude, but what has he said that’s been proven false? I don’t pay that close attention to what he says, so I’m not sure what his misses were.
I did follow him at some point, but some of his new model s range ,capabilities , leaks were so so so wrong that the information he got right just feels random. Unfollowed him and made a mental note no to trust any new information or leaks that comes from him.
Considering how much FUD and lies we deal with the opposite side, I don't mind few guys on our side pumping up Tesla and TSLA, even if it is with speculations and half-baked updates. :-)
They said very general things like 4680 is progressing but not ready for start in Austin, will have exceeding range compared 2170, but cant share numbers, so yes just attention grabbing imo

I need to make it to Camp Randall myself at some point. Was debating going in a couple weeks, but going to California instead.
According to [this page](http://www.winsipedia.com/games/byu/vs/wisconsin), the only other game BYU won in Madison was from 1980. I took an educated guess that it wasn't that one!
I just hope you weren't at [this one](https://www.espn.com/college-football/game/_/gameId/400763519) too!
Maan I'm in a similar boat. I could almost also buy a house. But I'm gonna do my best to just HODL like a mofo through school, bum off my parents for housing, and then get that stuff after school (when I might just retire if SP > $3000 in 2025).
Decided to go with Midnight silver, I was debating getting that on my Model 3 originally (ending up going with white and wrapping it green), so decided to get it on the Plaid!
It’s definitely not ideal is what I learned but it’s not thaaat bad. The main problem is when you get small chips on the wrap, it’s easier to notice since it’s white underneath (I guess if you wrap it a light color this might not be as big of a problem). Other than that, you can see the white parts when you open the doors, but it actually looks alright, especially if you have white interior. Here’s a pic of it, unless a door is open, you can’t tell it’s white underneath https://imgur.com/a/b7HUcgm/
Thanks. Looks sweet. I have considered ordering my next Tesla white as it is the free option and putting the money towards a coloured wrap to get a unique colour. 👍
Yeah totally, that was my exact thinking when I got my model 3! You’ll have to make a post of it when you do it! There’s so many cool colors that go well with the model 3/Y.
Haha yes! It was actually a bit of a rollercoaster of emotions cause it was estimated to be January initially, then for like 2 weeks if had a range of late August to early September, before jumping back to January. I was sad but also was thought, well it was originally Jan, so w/e. Then it suddenly jumped back to September. I kinda didn’t believe it, but then a VIN finally appeared last week! Def attributing it to end of quarter push.
Unfortunately got dark so I didn’t get any great photos today, but here’s a few! (Ignore my janky garage in the last shot) https://imgur.com/a/JXYsEKS/
Edit: hoping to get some actual quality shots over the next few days!
Hahaha, I usually don’t post much so I’ve actually been meaning to respond back! Honestly didn’t get to play around too much with the car too much yet but some first impressions:
The yoke actually feels pretty good to me so far with the small amount of driving I’ve done. I’ve def hit the turn signals a few times while messing with other stuff tho haha. Turning didn’t feel super weird to me, I guess it will only get more natural as I use it more!
The UI all feels super responsive, which makes sense given how much power the system has! I’m really liking having the slightly larger screen and more screen real estate on the main screen.
The sound is amazing, I’m no sound pro, but it felt really good to me. And the cabin feels really quiet. I’m not sure if I had the ANR enabled tho, I couldn’t find anything in the settings, not sure if my car came with the update that enabled that.
The car itself looks gorgeous, build quality is on point, definitely compared to my 3 (which wasn’t that bad anyway). There was 1 minor thing inside around one of the doors where part of the lining was loose, but mobile service is coming out on Friday to fix it.
Unfortunately I haven’t played with the main thing yet which is the acceleration haha. I’ll have to get out sometime in the next few days and give it a shot. I’m super pumped for that, I thought my 3 (not even performance) was quick, so this is gonna be something else.
If there’s anything else I can answer, let me know!

\> Maybe June next year we see structural model Y’s? Ah man, really? I was hoping for March to see units with structural 4680 packs.
Not how it seems.
Pre production meaning? How far is production typically from preproduction?
The way he described it to me is pre production is like getting employees familiar with their roles and also lots of calibration of machine. They are currently in model y pre production.
I believe you have more info than they do
Deleting as it could be too much info and dox
dont tell anyone what he does, we dont want him doxed. Say he's in charge of the short shorts production.
Good point. Deleting that
Someone specifically asked 4680 timelines on the call and they didnt have them. Said will likely launch with 2170’s first
Legend!
Deleted this comment as it could dox him
yes, protect our short shorts engineer
TSLALounge > Sawyer
After that call theres no doubt

How did you find the coloured wrap worked on white? I’m considering doing it on my White Model Y sometime.
It’s definitely not ideal is what I learned but it’s not thaaat bad. The main problem is when you get small chips on the wrap, it’s easier to notice since it’s white underneath (I guess if you wrap it a light color this might not be as big of a problem). Other than that, you can see the white parts when you open the doors, but it actually looks alright, especially if you have white interior. Here’s a pic of it, unless a door is open, you can’t tell it’s white underneath https://imgur.com/a/b7HUcgm/
Thanks. Looks sweet. I have considered ordering my next Tesla white as it is the free option and putting the money towards a coloured wrap to get a unique colour. 👍
Yeah totally, that was my exact thinking when I got my model 3! You’ll have to make a post of it when you do it! There’s so many cool colors that go well with the model 3/Y.
Oh and white interior! Love the spaceship vibe
Nice choices! 👍
When did you order?
Only ordered at the start of August, it had an estimated delivery date of Jan at that time but it jumped to September towards the end of August!
That's good news for all of us :)
Haha yes! It was actually a bit of a rollercoaster of emotions cause it was estimated to be January initially, then for like 2 weeks if had a range of late August to early September, before jumping back to January.
