As Tesla approaches the official launch of the Made-in-Texas (MIT) Tesla Model Y, new versions of the car are seen at the Tesla Giga Austin plant.

According to the latest flyover videos, over the past several days, a noticeable number of white MIT Model Y were produced and parked in front of the plant, joining the three-digit number of black and blue ones.

A recent Jeff Roberts video (via TeslaNorth) reveals also potentially the first red MIT Model Y, which leaves the plant building.

"I bet this is the one I saw speeding up the on-ramp a couple days ago! We'll probably see a lot more red Ys in the next few days."

It would mean that Tesla has started production of the Model Y in a total of four colors. Time will tell whether we will see also a grey Model Y and some all-new colors.

It's believed that Tesla so far produced several hundred Model Y in Texas and, most likely, they are all equipped with Tesla's 4680-type cylindrical battery cells.

According to @SurTsla tweet (via Drive Tesla), recently two MIT Model Y were seen at a public Supercharging station in Round Rock, Texas.

One of them had a VIN number, which indicates that it's the #508 unit: 7SAYGDEE8NA000508.

What do you think?

The first customer deliveries were expected by the end of Q1 2022, but with just a few days to go, maybe the launch will slip into Q2? Tesla also remains silent about what is the exact spec of the car produced in Texas.
