I just saw this and I was wondering if MY will get a new battery as well.

I wonder how long this will take to make it to the MY? Will possibly roll out same time as the new center console.
So the range bump from October is not attributed to the new 82kwh pack?
Tesla boosts Model Y range - Electrek
Thanks for the info. Do anyone know what is schedule for MY? or the battery (82 KWH) is upgraded in 2021 model.The boost on the 3 was substantially more than the Y, so I'm thinking the 3 factored in the new cells as well as software updates, and the Y increase was only software.
Can’t this be easily checked by someone with new MY 2021 by going to supercharging station or home charging and charge to 100% (or custom max), while recording kWh gained on vehicle display?
Then, Available Battery Capacity = (Charged% - BeforeCharging%) * KwhCharged (example: (80%-70%)*8kwh=0.1*8kwh=80kwh). This should have about +-1% precision, which should be enough to see whether there was a 5% capacity improvement or not. It does not however rule out that battery capacity is software locked to MY to 2020 capacity level.
Do we know if the new battery pack weighs the same, more or less than the current one? Could you be getting more capacity but at the expense of increased weight to carry around? Or is it same weight or less?

No confirmed or disclosed data on that yet. Expectations are that it’s the same weight per each cell, so higher energy density for both the cell and the pack.
Or they can remove the plastics under the frunk to look for the sticker mentioned/showed above.
MYP might be prioritized to new cell.
