Tesla new Model Y production accelerates at Giga Texas

It appears that Tesla is now ramping up the production of the new Model Y in Giga Texas. 

This was hinted at in a recent flyover of the facility, which revealed numerous new Model Y units seemingly waiting to be shipped out of the Giga Texas complex.

Recent new Model Y delivery reports:

• Tesla customers recently noted on social media that they have received estimated delivery dates for their vehicle orders from the EV maker. 
• This was quite surprising since March has been listed by Tesla as the date for the all-electric crossover’s first deliveries.
• As per the Tesla customers, however, the electric vehicle maker is now informing them that deliveries for their new Model Y units may happen as early as this month.

Milestone day at Giga Texas!

Giga Texas flyover observations:

• Images from longtime drone operator and Giga Texas watcher Joe Tegtmeyer have revealed that Tesla is now producing a growing number of new Model Y units.
• The new Model Ys appear to be ready for shipment to Tesla delivery centers. 
• Interestingly enough, some Model Y units that were sighted in the facility were heavily camouflaged.
• Tesla enthusiasts have speculated that the camouflaged new Model Y units are pre-production units of the yet-to-be-released new Model Y Performance.
• Tesla has confirmed that the new Model Y Performance and a seven-seat variant of the new Model Y will be released later this year.

Here are a few additional images of the camouflaged Model Y from different angles. Lots of interesting theories … what do you think is going on and why is this so heavily camoflagued? pic.twitter.com/3Ehuds8vCT

Giga Texas new production equipment that has been stored for a few months on the far West side is now being moved for installation inside the factory. These appear to be modular systems, but I cannot yet identify their purpose, so let me know if you know! pic.twitter.com/FlADuOPfcx
