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

“Accelerate your delivery”



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

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. 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.
