    VIN / Window Sticker Discrepancy

    Took delivery of a 2024 MY Performance on 03/31/2024 in NJ. There is an “A” in the VIN indicating it is from Austin but the window sticker said the Final Assembly Point was Fremont. Has anyone else seen this? I’m curious because up until now I thought all the MYP had 2170s and were made in...

    Y 4680 charge settings for l/t storage

    2023 TX built MY SR. We will be traveling for a month and wondering how to set charging for battery health. It will be in a heated garage connected to wall charger. I read somewhere that 50% is optimal?

    MY Standard Range 4680 - Delivery Date Range Disappeared

    Hello! First time posting. Please let me know if this is already being discussed in another thread. I'm hoping to find others in the same scenario as me - I ordered my Standard Range AWD 460 on 2/9, and immediately had a VIN with a delivery range of 2/16 to 3/16. Ten days ago, the delivery...

    Munro & Associates has just released an analysis of the structural pack for Tesla's 4680 battery cells, having just received a 2022 Model Y SR from Giga Texas. In their analysis, Cory Steuben (President of Munro & Associates) and Julian Aytes (lead engineer) found that the car's front seats are...

    New model y standard range orders

    Is this new lower range model y available for order? According to imsideevs.com or whatever it is says on Tesla’s website it states January 2023 for first deliveries. I can’t find anything on their site about this model.

    4680 cell tech specs

    I'm working on writing an academic paper on the thermal management of Li-ion batteries for use in EVs, and I was thinking that running some simulations on the new 4680 cells would be a neat idea. Problem is, I'm struggling to find any sort of data sheets regarding specific thermal performance...

    Possible 2022 Model Y SR introduction - range difference

    @Teslerati noted Mar 13 2022 that Tesla received a recent (Feb 16) EPA approval for an apparent new 279-mi range Model Y variant, and a second variant was applied for on Feb 24. @TroyTeslike followed, suggesting one of two scenarios for the approved vehicle (amended Mar 14): Scenario 1...

    Texan Residents can’t get 4680s?

    I ordered a MYP in the first week of Feb 2022. I just got an EDD of march 10-31 but I just recently found out giga texas is not allowed to deliver to texas residents. Does this mean that there is absolutely no way of receiving 4680s inside texas? I heard you could FedEx the paper work to out of...

    Do you guys think it would be possible that Tesla will provide upgrade option for current car to 4680 battery?

    4680 batteries, what is the advantage?

    4680 batteries, what is the advantage? 4680 is evolutionary, not revolutionary change from what I read. There is little chemical change from other types (18650 and 2170) and uses the same "jellyroll" design. The significant change is size (less so the so called "tabless" design, which IMHO is a...

    4680 on Model Y?

    Hi all! Apologies if this has already been asked. But I am very new to the EV world and don't have as much knowledge when it comes to Tesla. I ordered my MYLR towards end of August of this year. It originally had a delivery date range of December - January 2022. It now has changed to January -...

    Hello to all For better understanding, I'm currently in Europe, Portugal. I'm in the process of closing an order on the model Y but then it hit me: Should I get now the model Y (Made in china MIC) or wait (more) for the Gigafactory to get it going with the "2.0" model y with the new battery...

    4680 cell implications

    It's amazing to me that, in the aftermath of Battery Day, no one has really focused on the charging implications of the new cell design. The chart presented, if accurate, would indicate that the 4680 cells should take almost no time to fully charge. If that is the case, the bottleneck will...
