2023 Model 3 LR type of battery?

[swaangin]

Hey guys, I've read a lot of conflicting articles on the forum and watched a lot of YouTube videos how to confirm what type of battery the car has. I was told via message on Tesla app my battery is LFP but I thought only the RWD had the LFP?

Does someone know a clear cut way to know which batteries which car has? I have the 2023 Model 3 Long Range AWD.

It is NMCA (LG). Not LFP.

I also asked this because I saw this article where it looks to state Tesla (I'd assume if you need a battery replacement) they replace it with the LFP battery components along with rear dampers and springs because the LFP battery is heavier. Who would qualify for this type of service?

Owners of Model 3 Rear wheel drive Standard range or Standard range+ vehicles, from 2018 - 2022 or so, when tesla started using LFP batteries whose battery fails while still under warranty. There is no LFP long range tesla model 3 (it doesnt exist), so whomever told you that you have an LFP battery, is either incorrect, or you are mistaken about what model tesla you have.

So does this mean that my long range model 3 with all wheel drive also does not have the LFP battery? Sorry to be redundant, but just wanted to be sure, because I've also seen conflicting information out there.

There are zero teslas worldwide with long range and LFP. It’s not possible to provide long range with LFP.

LFP batteries do not currently have enough capacity density to fit a 75-82kWh (long range) LFP battery in a Model 3.

I realize the other 2 posters above me answered your question, but you quoted me, and the quote you took of my post already has my answer to the question you asked me while quoting me. As I said in my quote (that you quoted):

There is no LFP long range tesla model 3 (it doesnt exist),

So my answer to your question, just to be clear is, "Yes that is correct, your Long Range model 3 with all wheel drive does NOT have an LFP battery, because there is NO long range model 3 with all wheel drive with a LFP battery (from Tesla) in existence. That combination simply does not exist (Long Range, All Wheel Drive Model 3 with LFP battery).

You can tell on the charge screen. On non LFP batteries, there is a 80% Recommended Daily Charging bracket and 90 - 100% Road Trip bracket. The LFP battery cars don't have this.
