The Model Y needs the same refresh the Model 3 got. Strange they haven't announced it yet. I suppose it just takes a while to change over a production line?
As an Australian I'm really looking forward to getting automation features like Actually Smart Summon outside the US. And hopefully a subscription for it, instead of a one time 5000$ fee that then can't ever be transferred to a future car. You'd have to be dumb to buy it in its current form. Making that more reasonable will be a way they can immediately extract more money out of me. As long as the price is reasonable, and not bonkers which it sadly probably will be.
Apparently they are in test production already [1], but don't want to announce and damage current sales of Y.
The other rumour is that they are running test production in Shanghai with the plan to roll-out full production consecutively across Shanghai, Texas, and Berlin. This is unlike the Model 3, which saw a delayed roll-out in the US.
