There’s been some chatter on the interwebs that some Model Y reservation owners have received calls confirming their Model Y orders and telling them where their deliveries will occur. One person claims that the Tesla staff member who talked to him or her …
Tesla has filed certification papers for the Model Y with CARB. Does that mean deliveries will begin next month?

Tesla employees tell CNBC the company has decided to build the Model Y there. The Model S and Model X will be consolidated into one assembly line to make room for Model Y production. They also say a refreshed Model S is coming in September.
