First time charging - range question on MYLR

[Stirfry]

A "D" in the 8th position would be for a Single Motor - Standard or Performance Model Y; "E" is for a Dual Motor - Standard Model Y; F is for a Dual Motor - Performance Model Y.

Agreed, so isn't the lowest range ("D") model Y only sold with a single motor?

As the eight digit in the VIN is an "E" that means OP has dual motors -> I thought the dual motor was only available on the MYLR and MYP...

Nope, the Model Y AWD with the 4680 battery pack is below the LR but still has dual motors.

Interesting thanks, I should have read post #3 better.

Which letter stands for the Dual Motor - Long Range Model Y?

The 8th position letter "E".

"D" (in the 8th position) is for a Single Motor - Standard or Performance Model Y (To date Tesla has not released a Single Motor (RWD) Performance Model Y)
"E" is for a Dual Motor - Standard Model Y (does not specify range or battery type and capacity; this code applies to any Dual Motor non-Performance Model Y)
"F" is for a Dual Motor - Performance Model Y.

This is the first time in any of Tesla's models that I have ever heard of them having dual motors in something that isn't their large battery size. I was thinking the same as @Stirfry

You mean besides the Model S 60D, 70D, and 75D, and the Model X 60D, and 75D? (There have also been cases of the large battery with single motor in things like the Model 3 RWD LR.)

Oh, jeez. Of course. I guess I was thinking of P. They didn't do performance on small batteries.

This is only recently like less than 1 week ago. Highly doubt anyone has a RWD Model Y yet in the US from a recent new order.

Quick update to keep everyone posted - I got a lawyer to send a demand letter seeking the difference in price for LR and SR - I am going to keep the car and see if I can get the difference so I can pay that towards the loan. More to follow - the lawyer said it could take a few weeks and that was only Friday of last week.

I would try to add the lawyer cost to the refund. Sounds only fair, it was their mistake, and them not trying to fix it the nice way.

Again good luck to you. What happened here and how Carvana handled it is bs.
