3: Tesla is still planning to shut down Model Y production at Fremont when Giga Texas starts making the Model Y 2.0. However, they are now considering whether the shutdown will be temporary or permanent.

Originally the plan was that Tesla would build a new general assembly line, the GA5 line at Fremont for Model Y which would allow them to remove the two tents where Model Y is currently built.

4: Texas Model Y will be slightly different than the Berlin version.

5: Model Y production in Shanghai has a Build Failure Rate of less than 3% which is exceptionally low in the industry. The target for Model Y 2.0 in Berlin is less than 2%.
